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).

    ANNUAL REPORT 2017 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Mission The mission of the Vector Control Services District is to prevent the spread of vector-borne diseases, injury, and discomfort to the residents of the District by controlling insects, rodents, and other vectors and eliminating causal environmental conditions through education and integrated pest management practices. District Services Request for Service Investigations • Conduct investigations in response to requests for service from the public for rodent, wildlife, and insect vectors of disease, assess environmental conditions for vector harborage and access, and recommend solutions to reduce vector activity and associated public health risks. • Investigate reported public health and vermin problems related to rodents, cockroaches, flies, fleas, bed bugs, lice, stinging insects (yellow jackets and bees), ticks, mites, and spiders, and render the appropriate control services based on best management practices and integrated pest management strategies. • Provide insect, tick and spider identifications and recommend the least–toxic control strategies. • Conduct surveys of rodents, insects and arthropods of public health importance, and maintain a reference collection. • Survey and control cockroaches in public sewers, utility boxes, and storm drains. • Conduct yellow jacket and bee control in public areas. Wildlife Management and Rabies Control • Conduct investigations of nuisance wildlife problems relating to bats, skunks, opossums, raccoons, turkeys, feral pigs, foxes, coyotes, dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds (pigeons). • Trap nuisance animals when preventative alternatives or exclusion practices are not possible or unlikely to be effective. • Work in coordination with local animal control agencies and the Alameda County Public Health Department to monitor and test wildlife (bats, skunks, opossums, cats, etc.) for rabies and submit annual statistics reports to the California Department of Public Health.
