    Pinole Creek Watershed Sediment Source Assessment January 2005 Prepared by the San Francisco Estuary Institute for USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and Contra Costa Resource Conservation District San Francisco Estuary Institute The Regional Watershed Program was founded in 1998 to assist local and regional environmental management and the public to understand, characterize and manage environmental resources in the watersheds of the Bay Area. Our intent is to help develop a regional picture of watershed condition and downstream effects through a solid foundation of literature review and peer- review, and the application of a range of science methodologies, empirical data collection and interpretation in watersheds around the Bay Area. Over this time period, the Regional Watershed Program has worked with Bay Area local government bodies, universities, government research organizations, Resource Conservation Districts (RCDs) and local community and environmental groups in the Counties of Marin, Sonoma, Napa, Solano, Contra Costa, Alameda, Santa Clara, San Mateo, and San Francisco. We have also fulfilled technical advisory roles for groups doing similar work outside the Bay Area. This report should be referenced as: Pearce, S., McKee, L., and Shonkoff, S., 2005.

Center for Ecosystem Management and Restoration CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Marsh Creek Watershed Marsh Creek flows approximately 30 miles from the eastern slopes of Mt. Diablo to Suisun Bay in the northern San Francisco Estuary. Its watershed consists of about 100 square miles. The headwaters of Marsh Creek consist of numerous small, intermittent and perennial tributaries within the Black Hills. The creek drains to the northwest before abruptly turning east near Marsh Creek Springs. From Marsh Creek Springs, Marsh Creek flows in an easterly direction entering Marsh Creek Reservoir, constructed in the 1960s. The creek is largely channelized in the lower watershed, and includes a drop structure near the city of Brentwood that appears to be a complete passage barrier. Marsh Creek enters the Big Break area of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta northeast of the city of Oakley. Marsh Creek No salmonids were observed by DFG during an April 1942 visual survey of Marsh Creek at two locations: 0.25 miles upstream from the mouth in a tidal reach, and in close proximity to a bridge four miles east of Byron (Curtis 1942).

  • Carquinez Strait Regional Shoreline
    Carquinez Strait Regional Shoreline Resource Analysis East Bay Regional Park District CARQUINEZ STRAIT REGIONAL SHORELINE RESOURCE ANALYSIS Adopted: November 17, 1992 Resolution No: 1992-11-302 Prepared by: East Bay Regional Park District Planning/ Stewardship Department 2950 Peralta Oaks Drive Oakland, CA 94605 " .. .1 was almost wild to get out alone with the big sail and go tearing down the Carquinez Strait ... " Jack London, Tales of the Fish Patrol FOREWORD Carquinez Strait channels waters flowing from Sierran snow beds through the vast fields of the Central Valley to meet the salt waters of the Pacific Ocean in the San Fran­ cisco Bay. The broad streams of the San Joaquin and Sacramento Rivers converge in the Carquinez Strait and along their course supply water for over two thirds of California residents. Much of this immense ancient water system is visible from the bluffs rising above the Carquinez Strait Regional Shoreline. We usually speed by these waters on freeways or over them on bridges, catching a glimpse of sailboats on the way to somewhere else. At Carquinez Strait Regional Shoreline one can sit quietly under coastal bluffs next to the water's edge and contrast the relatively recent trappi1\gs of human history, the factories, subdivisions, railroads and ships, to the larger, more permanent forces of nature at this northern border of the Bay. This waterfront area offers tremendous potential for recreation, preservation of natural resources and education. The diversity of resources is reflected in the special aspects of the park's location; its views, open water, trail system, marine climate and historic buildings.
