  • Environmental Hazards Incorporates the State-Mandated “Safety” and “Noise” Elements of the General Plan
    7 HAZARDS ENVIRONMENTAL A. OVERVIEW Environmental Hazards incorporates the state-mandated “Safety” and “Noise” elements of the General Plan. The Chapter addresses natural and man-made hazards in the City, including earthquakes, landslides, floods, sea level rise, wildfire, air and water pollution, hazardous materials, and aviation accidents. It includes a summary of emergency preparedness in San Leandro, with policies that provide the foundation for disaster planning in the City. The Element also addresses noise issues, with the dual objective of mitigating existing noise problems and avoiding future disturbances and conflicts. The overall purpose of this Element is to minimize the potential for damage and injury resulting from environmental hazards. The State Government Code requires that the Element identify and evaluate the hazards that are present and establish appropriate goals, policies, and action programs to reduce those hazards to acceptable levels. Environmental hazards define basic constraints to land use that must be reflected in how and where development takes place. Public education is critical to the successful implementation of this Element. Although San Leandrans are generally aware that the City is located in “earthquake country,” there is still much that can be done to improve readiness and response when disaster strikes. The Environmental Hazards Element takes a pro-active approach to emergency preparedness, emphasizing mitigation and reduced exposure to hazards as well as response and recovery. This Element is closely coordinated with the City’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP), a federally mandated plan to reduce exposure to hazards and ensure eligibility for federal disaster preparedness and relief funds. 7-1 SAN LEANDRO GENERAL PLAN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD S The Element also sets forth a pro-active strategy for addressing noise issues in the community.

  • Historical Status of Coho Salmon in Streams of the Urbanized San Francisco Estuary, California
    CALIFORNIA FISH AND GAME California Fish and Game 91(4):219-254 2005 HISTORICAL STATUS OF COHO SALMON IN STREAMS OF THE URBANIZED SAN FRANCISCO ESTUARY, CALIFORNIA ROBERT A. LEIDY1 U. S. Environmental Protection Agency 75 Hawthorne Street San Francisco, CA 94105 [email protected] and GORDON BECKER Center for Ecosystem Management and Restoration 4179 Piedmont Avenue, Suite 325 Oakland, CA 94611 [email protected] and BRETT N. HARVEY Graduate Group in Ecology University of California Davis, CA 95616 1Corresponding author ABSTRACT The historical status of coho salmon, Oncorhynchus kisutch, was assessed in 65 watersheds surrounding the San Francisco Estuary, California. We reviewed published literature, unpublished reports, field notes, and specimens housed at museum and university collections and public agency files. In watersheds for which we found historical information for the occurrence of coho salmon, we developed a matrix of five environmental indicators to assess the probability that a stream supported habitat suitable for coho salmon. We found evidence that at least 4 of 65 Estuary watersheds (6%) historically supported coho salmon. A minimum of an additional 11 watersheds (17%) may also have supported coho salmon, but evidence is inconclusive. Coho salmon were last documented from an Estuary stream in the early-to-mid 1980s. Although broadly distributed, the environmental characteristics of streams known historically to contain coho salmon shared several characteristics. In the Estuary, coho salmon typically were members of three-to-six species assemblages of native fishes, including Pacific lamprey, Lampetra tridentata, steelhead, Oncorhynchus mykiss, California roach, Lavinia symmetricus, juvenile Sacramento sucker, Catostomus occidentalis, threespine stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus, riffle sculpin, Cottus gulosus, prickly sculpin, Cottus asper, and/or tidewater goby, Eucyclogobius newberryi.

  • Santa Clara Valley Groundwater Basin, East Bay Plain Subbasin
    San Francisco Bay Hydrologic Region California’s Groundwater Santa Clara Valley Groundwater Basin Bulletin 118 Santa Clara Valley Groundwater Basin, East Bay Plain Subbasin • Groundwater Basin Number: 2-9.04 • County: Alameda, Contra Costa • Surface Area: 77,800 acres (122 square miles) Basin Boundaries & Hydrology The East Bay Plain Subbasin is a northwest trending alluvial plain bounded on the north by San Pablo Bay, on the east by the contact with Franciscan Basement rock, on the south by the Niles Cone Groundwater Basin. The East Bay Plain Basin extends beneath San Francisco Bay to the west. Numerous creeks including San Pablo Creek, Wildcat Creek, San Leandro Creek, and San Lorenzo Creek flow from the western slope of the Coast Ranges westward across the plain and into the San Francisco and San Pablo bays (CRWQCB 1999). Average precipitation in the subbasin ranges from about 17 inches in the southeast to greater than 25 inches along the eastern boundary, most of which occurs between the months of November and March. Hydrogeologic Information Water Bearing Formations The East Bay Plain subbasin aquifer system consists of unconsolidated sediments of Quaternary age. Deposits include the early Pleistocene Santa Clara Formation, the late Pleistocene Alameda Formation, the early Holocene Temescal Formation, and Artificial Fill. The cumulative thickness of the unconsolidated sediments is about 1,000 feet (CRWQCB 1999). The average specific yield of the basin was calculated to be about 6% (DWR 1994). Early Pleistocene Santa Clara Formation. The Santa Clara Formation consists of alluvial fan deposits inter-fingered with lake, swamp, river channel, and flood plain deposits.

  • Steelhead San Lorenzo Creek
    ASSESSMENT OF STEELHEAD PRESENCE AND HABITAT IN SAN LORENZO CREEK WATERSHED A University Thesis Presented to the Faculty of California State University, Hayward In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Riparian Wildlife Ecology By Lawrence Patrick Kobernus December, 1998 Abstract Steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss), a federally listed threatened species, were once common in San Lorenzo Creek, a highly modified urban stream in the east San Francisco Bay Area. Since the 1940's, increased urbanization of the watershed has degraded stream habitat, and construction of dams and flood control channels have eliminated most of the upstream habitat from steelhead access. Despite these extensive impacts, there have been occasional reports of steelhead in the creek during wet years, such as 1982-83. Downstream migrant trapping in the spring of 1997, visual surveys for parr in the fall of 1997, and isolated electroshocking surveys in 1997-98 failed to find any young steelhead in the stream system. During adult steelhead surveys in the winter and spring of 1997-98, persistent turbidity inhibited the ability to survey the stream, especially deeper pools, using either visual or electroshocking methods. Exotic fishes were found to be present in San Lorenzo Creek, but two native fishes; California roach and Sacramento sucker were found to be the dominant species throughout the stream system. Evaluation of San Lorenzo Creek for steelhead habitat found limitations for the species at every life stage. Upstream migrant access was evaluated at a 4.6- mile concrete channel on San Lorenzo Creek and a 1670-foot concrete box culvert on Crow Creek in the winter of 1997-98.

  • Ca-Ala-566: the Role of a Limited Use Campsite in East Bay Settlement Patterns
    CA-ALA-566: THE ROLE OF A LIMITED USE CAMPSITE IN EAST BAY SETTLEMENT PATTERNS JENNIFER L. BLAKE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION CHRIS KIMSEY CALIFORNIA STATE PARKS Recent excavations at CA-ALA-566 revealed an intermittently used campsite consisting of a late Holocene occupation and one of the few mid-Holocene components known in the San Francisco Bay Area thus far. This study focuses upon the late Holocene occupation and the role of ephemeral campsites in settlement patterns in the San Francisco East Bay. Examination of seasonality patterns at ALA-566 as compared to bayshore mounds in a framework of localized environmental shifts guide the analysis of settlement distribution throughout the East Bay and the changes thereof observed at the onset of the Late period. The archaeological record of the San Francisco Bay Area is rich with densely settled village sites that have facilitated a better understanding of prehistoric California. These larger sites have been the focus of archaeological investigations for more than a century and consequently have had a large impact on understandings of past settlement systems. The important role played by small sites, such campsite or processing locales, has also been recognized by archaeologists for many years. However, these sites are more difficult to identify, and are rarely the subject of large scale of data recovery excavations. Recent data recovery excavations at CA-ALA-566 (hereafter referred to as ALA-566), obtained macrobotanical samples from a short-term campsite, which provides an opportunity to examine the role such sites played in the regional settlement system through time. A notable variation in settlement pattern started from the latter phases of the Middle period (200 B.C.–A.D.

  • San Lorenzo Creekway FAQ's
    San Lorenzo Creekway FAQ’s Updated as of June 17, 2020 Who is leading this effort to make the San Lorenzo Creekway? The Hayward Area Recreation & Park District (HARD), the Alameda County Public Works Agency, and the Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (ACFCD) are working together on developing the San Lorenzo Creekway vision, recognizing the opportunity to create walking and biking infrastructure using existing right-of-way along the creek. Who will be responsible for maintaining and monitoring the San Lorenzo Creekway? ACFCD will continue to own and maintain the creek floodway, access roads and access points. ACFCD and HARD are currently working to develop a license agreement that will ensure effective maintenance, operations and public safety for the Creekway. My house is next to the proposed creekway and I’m concerned about privacy and safety. How will this be addressed? Community members often express valid concerns about privacy and safety as they relate to trails. Regarding privacy, it will be important to include design features to limit visibility from the trail onto adjacent properties—with a specific understanding of unique trail conditions along each segment. Visibility is also a critical issue for safety. Maintaining good visibility from streets into the trail corridor will be an important aspect of a Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) approach to trail design. Visibility from public streets and good visibility along the trail will reduce opportunities for illicit activity. Second, safety will be further ensured by trail use. When more people use the trail, the trail becomes safe for everyone to use.
