  • Friends of Five Creeks Letters Re Restoration of Codornices Creek

    Friends of Five Creeks Letters Re Restoration of Codornices Creek

    The letters below deal with F5C’s early involvement in Codornices Creek. They shed some light on challenges that faced efforts to restore our area’s only trout stream, and the role citizens played. These are by no means the whole story. Most credit for the big projects on Codornices west of San Pablo goes to the partnership of creek-restoration pioneers Carole Schemmerling, who headed the now defunct Urban Creeks Council, and consulting hydrologist Dr. Ann Riley, whose now defunct private consulting firm Watershed Restoration Institute. The two shared offices; UCC was effectively the nonprofit arm of WRI, able to receive grants and similar government support. Credit also goes to longtime environmental visionary Richard Register, who with UCC played a large role in bringing Codornices out of its pipe between 8th and 9th Streets in 1994-5. This was one of Berkeley’s pioneer “daylighting” projects. Friends of Five Creeks 1000 San Pablo Ave. Albany, CA 94706 412 7257 October 4, 1998 Mr. Ron Gervason San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board 1515 Clay St., 14th Floor Oakland, CA 94612 [email protected] Re: Triannual Review of Water Quality Control Plan of San Francisco Bay Basin Friends of Five Creeks is a grassroots organization that seeks to protect and restore creeks in Albany, California. While Albany’s natural creeks are mostly in culverts, one, Codornices, is substantially free flowing and has a small trout population. Efforts are ongoing to restore another, Cerrito Creek. We believe that the few creeks in our urbanized area that can or do support relatively natural aquatic life, especially cold-water or anadromous fish, should receive the highest possible degree of protection, including that of the Regional Water Quality Control Board.

This element aJso looks at freight issues like capacity concerns, intermoda] traffic, passenger and freight trains sharing right of way, short line railroad issues, funding programs, environmental issues, new technology, and future needs and objectives.

    Santa Cruz Branch Line Economic Analysis

    THE INFORMATION IN THIS DOCUMENT HAS BEEN SUPERSEDED BY THE AUGUST 2004 DRAFT SANTA CRUZ BRANCH LINE BUSINESS PLAN ADMINISTRATIVE DRAFT SANTA CRUZ BRANCH LINE ECONOMIC ANALYSIS Prepared for: Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission Prepared by: Alta Transportation Consulting, Inc. R.L. Banks Associates November 2002 I. INTRODUCTION A. Summary of Analysis Alta Transportation Consultants, Inc., and R. L. Banks Associates (collectively, "Alta/Banks") are pleased to present this economic analysis of potential short line freight operations on the Santa Cruz Branch Line (the "Branch Line") following acquisition by the Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission. Based on the data and analysis presented below, Alta/Banks concludes that the Commission’s assumption of freight operations on the Branch Line may be economically viable. The actual financial performance of the freight operations ultimately will depend on the interchange rate – that is, the division of freight shipping revenues between Branch Line operations (which will be received by the Commission and/or its short line contractor) and the main line operations (which will be received by Union Pacific Railroad (“UP”) for carrying the freight from Pajaro Junction to its ultimate destination). Alta/Banks projects that, depending on the interchange rate with UP, short line freight operations on the Branch Line, with the short line operator responsible for routine and program maintenance of the trackage, are likely to see an annual profit/loss range of a $391,000 loss to a profit of $41,000. In order to enable potential short line bidders to project reasonably profitable operations and submit favorable bids to the Commission, Alta/Banks projects that a freight interchange rate of $440 per carload would need to negotiated with UP.
