The ART Program leads and supports multi-sector, cross-jurisdictional projects that build local and regional capacity in the San Francisco Bay Area to plan for and adapt to sea level rise and storm event flooding. Through these efforts, the ART Program continues to test and refine an adaptation method (the ART Planning Process, see Figure 1) that ensures planning processes include a transparent process, collaborative process, and sustainability. Throughout the Bay Area, the ART Program is helping integrate adaptation in local and regional planning and decision-making in multiple ways. ART leads collaborative adaptation planning projects, develops adaptation responses, builds capacity across the region to increase resilience, assists adaptation planning efforts, helps create evaluation criteria to assess adaptation responses, builds regional capacity for adaptation, and advocates for adaptation through communicating findings, issues, processes, and needs to state and federal agencies. ART also provides the ART Portfolio, which combines a comprehensive set of online resources, including how-to guides, tools, and findings, with Help Desk support from experienced ART Program staff to enable users to make use of Portfolio resources to efficiently and effectively assess and plan for climate impacts. Figure 2. The ART Planning Process. 4 Executive Summary East Contra Costa Adapting to Rising Tides Project Contra Costa County is one of the nine Bay Area counties and is the ninth most populous county in the state—home to over one million residents. In the coming years Contra Costa faces a number of opportunities, as well as numerous challenges. Many regionally important assets and services are located in the East Contra Costa County, such as passenger and cargo rail lines, communities with affordable housing, industry, agriculture, employment centers, wetlands, creeks, popular parks, boating and recreation hubs, and miles of Bay Trail. The East Contra Costa (ECC) Adapting to Rising Tides Project Area (see Figure 0-1) includes the shoreline cities of Pittsburg, Antioch, Oakley, and the inland adjacent city of Brentwood. Also included in the Project Area are the unincorporated communities of Bethel Island, Discovery Bay, Knightsen, and Byron. Many of the challenges faced in the County are familiar to communities around the Bay Area, such as the need for affordable housing, increased traffic congestion, issues of equity, a need for diverse and well-paying employment, safe and healthy neighborhoods, and current seismic and flood risks. In addition, the County is learning how to view these current challenges in light of the future risks associated with climate change, such as increased flood risk, higher heat, changes in ecological systems and possible changes to drought patterns. In 2014, local interest in understanding and addressing these challenges led the ART Program to initiate a project to conduct a sea level rise vulnerability assessment and adaptation project along the west and central Contra Costa County shoreline extending from Richmond to Bay Point. The West Contra Costa County ART project concluded in 2016. The ECC Project was initiated in late 2017, funded by the Delta Stewardship Council, and in partnership with Contra Costa County, in order to complete the sea level rise study for the entire County. ART ECC continues from Pittsburg all the way to the eastern edge of the County and south to Clifton Court Forebay. This project builds off of the work done in West Contra Costa County and completes the assessment of the entire County. 5 Figure 0-1. East Contra Costa County Project Area is outlined in red. While many vulnerability and adaptation issues are similar between West Contra Costa and East Contra Costa, the ECC Project Area differs from that of the West Contra Costa ART Project in that it contains significant subsided land ranging from 0 to -15 feet below sea level, has much of its coastline protected by levees, has Delta islands, and is a more rural agricultural landscape. The ECC Project Area includes part of the Delta, which introduces new flooding dynamics and vulnerabilities. This includes risks such as saline intrusion from tidal influences, subsided lands that are more susceptible to flooding, especially with electricity outages due to pump failures, and levee failure on Delta islands. The Contra Costa shoreline, with its varying local shoreline topographies (wetlands,

    Building Communities – Economics & Ethnicity Jennifer Helzer, California State University, Stanislaus Helzer, 1 Delta Protection Commission Delta Narratives (Revision Final) June 11, 2015 Building Communities – Economics & Ethnicity Jennifer Helzer, California State University, Stanislaus INTRODUCTION Approaching the Delta from the east, off of Interstate 5, the hurried and harried pace of life gives way to a gradual western sloping landscape of manicured fields. As the morning fog burns away, glimpses of old barns, field equipment, and neatly stacked fruit crates appear alongside the road. As one approaches town, heavy‐duty pick‐up trucks meet at the four‐way stop with their driver motioning for visitors to take the right‐of‐way. The post office and local coffee shop buzz with morning routines. A tour through the Delta carries visitors along levee roads, across iconic bridges and into culturally rich historic towns. Orchards and row crops expand from levee roads; and farmsteads and stately homes exist alongside ethnic heritage landscapes and new commercial developments. The communities of the Delta are places of the present and the past that are stitched together by a network of railroads, canals and levees, and by the open spaces that link them together. These are the first impressions of the Delta as a place and the start of many questions. What is the meaning of this place, who made this place and how has it changed through time? In the 1850s, powerful economic, political and social forces precipitated momentous change in the Delta region of California: 1) the California Gold Rush, 2) levee construction and agricultural development, and 3) the migration and settlement of domestic, European and Asian cultural groups.

  • C a S E S T U D Y R E P O R T Sherman Island Delta
    C A S E S T U D Y R E P O R T SHERMAN ISLAND DELTA PROJECT November 2013 Written by Bradley Angell, Richard Fisher & Ryan Whipple a project of Ante Meridiem Incorporated with the direct support of the Delta Alliance International Foundation © 2013 Ante Meridiem Incorporated ABSTRACT This report is an official beginning to a model design for Sherman Island, an important land mass that lies at the meeting point of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers of the California Delta system. As design is typically dominated by a particular driving discipline or a paramount policy concern, the resulting decision-making apparatus is normally governed by that discipline or policy. After initial review of Sherman Island, such a “single” discipline or “principle” policy approach is not appropriate for Sherman Island. At this critical physical place at the heart of California Delta, an inter-disciplinary and equal-weighted policy balance is necessary to meet both the immediate and long-term requirements for rehabilitation of the project site. Exhibiting the collected work of a small team of design and policy specialists, the Case Study Report for the Sherman Island Delta Project outlines the multitude of interests, disciplines and potential opportunities for design expression on the selected 1,000 acre portion of Sherman Island under review. Funded principally by a generous grant from the Delta Alliance, the team researched applicable uses and technologies with a pragmatic case study approach to the subject, physically documenting exhibitions of each technology as geographically close to the project site as possible. After study and on-site documentation, the team compiled this wealth of discovery in three substantive chapters: a site characterization report, the stakeholders & goals assessment, and a case study report.
