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).

  • Land Use and Water Quality at Wildcat Creek, CA Tim Hassler Abstract
    Land Use and Water Quality at Wildcat Creek, CA Tim Hassler Abstract Urban creeks and their associated watersheds are the focal point for a variety of different land uses including, urban development, industry, agriculture, livestock grazing, and recreational activities. These land uses can threaten the water quality of urban creeks. Most land-use studies have focused on multiple watersheds over a regional scale. More localized information is needed on single streams to provide important water quality information so they can be better managed. This study looked at the relationship between various land uses and water quality along Wildcat Creek, Berkeley, CA to determine if urban development, recreational activities, and livestock grazing may negatively affect the health of the creek. The study area was divided into seven discrete usage zones based on varying land uses. Water samples were collected three times over a four-month period to look for temporal variation in pH, conductivity, turbidity, and nitrates. Samples were also collected and analyzed for E-Coli bacteria once during the study. Regulatory guidelines and/or standards were used to assess the water quality of the creek. pH levels were found to be consistent throughout each usage zone. Conductivity levels increased downstream with the exception of the Lake Anza usage zone (a swimming reservoir), where they dropped sharply, possibly due to a settling effect. Turbidity levels fluctuated between usage zones showing no set pattern. Nitrate loading generally increased downstream throughout the study area. Conductivity levels were significantly correlated over time among the different usage zones, while the other sample parameters did not show significant temporal correlation.

A two-dimensional HEC-RAS model was created to simulate the Lake Anza Reservoir, C.L. Tilden Dam, and surrounding topography. HEC-RAS used the Shallow Water Equations to calculate hydraulic characteristics along the most likely path of dam breach flow. The inundation map, which shows the areas which would be adversely affected by the breach of the dam, was created using the maximum depth of water at each point along the dam breach flow’s path.
