    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).

    CONTRA COSTA MONITORING AND ASSESSMENT PLAN (CCMAP) 2004 RAPID BIOASSESSMENT PROJECT REPORT CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA Submitted to: Contra Costa Clean Water Program 600 Main St. Martinez, CA 94553 Prepared by: Scott Cressey Cressey & Associates 147 Ashbury Avenue El Cerrito, CA 94530 & Chris Sommers EOA, Inc. 1410 Jackson Street Oakland, CA 94612 August 18, 2005 1 Preface The Contra Costa Clean Water Program (Program) initiated a water quality monitoring and assessment plan (Contra Costa Monitoring and Assessment Plan) within Alhambra Creek, the Program's pilot watershed in 2001. The Program contracted Scott Cressey of Cressey & Associates in 2002, 2003 and 2004 to assist in preparing the work plan for, and ultimately the implementation of, a study to conduct rapid bioassessments on Las Trampas Creek, Refugio Creek, Rodeo Creek, Edwards Creek and Lower Marsh Creek. The California Stream Bioassessment Procedure (CSBP) protocols for Non-point Source Design were followed during all years. This project was overseen and managed by Chris Sommers (EOA Inc.), Monitoring Program Project Manager for the Program. Mr. Sommers worked closely with Cressey & Associates to apply his expertise bioassessment to study design and data analysis, and was also responsible for the critical review and edits to the draft reports. iii D:\2004 Bio Report Final.doc Executive Summary In April 2001, the Contra Costa Clean Water Program (Program) initiated a water quality monitoring and assessment plan within Alhambra Creek, the Program's pilot watershed. The Contra Costa Monitoring and Assessment Plan (CCMAP) is a long-term strategy designed to assess the conditions of watersheds, water bodies, and water quality within Contra Costa County (County).

  • A Cultural and Natural History of the San Pablo Creek Watershed
    A Cultural and Natural History of the San Pablo Creek Watershed by Lisa Owens-Viani Prepared by The Watershed Project (previously known as the Aquatic Outreach Institute) Note: This booklet focuses on the watershed from the San Pablo Dam and reservoir westward (downstream). For a history of the Orinda area, see Muir Sorrick's The History of Orinda, published by the Orinda Library Board in 1970. Orinda also has an active creek stewardship group, the Friends of Orinda Creeks, which has conducted several watershed outreach efforts in local schools (see www.ci.orinda.ca.us/orindaway.htm). This booklet was written as part of the Aquatic Outreach Institute's efforts to develop stewardship of the mid- to lower watershed. The San Pablo Creek watershed is a wealthy one-rich in history, culture, and natural resources. The early native American inhabitants of the watershed drank from this deep and powerful creek and caught the steelhead that swam in its waters. They ate the tubers and roots of the plants that grew in the fertile soils deposited by the creek, and buried their artifacts, the shells and bones of the creatures they ate, and even their own dead along its banks. Later, European settlers grew fruit, grain, and vegetables in the same rich soils and watered cattle in the creek. Even today, residents of the San Pablo Creek watershed rely on the creek, perhaps unknowingly: its waters quench the thirst and meet the household needs of about 10 percent of the East Bay Municipal Utility District's customers. Some residents rely on the creek in another way, though-as a reminder that something wild and self-sufficient flows through their midst, offering respite from the surrounding urbanized landscape.
