| 001 | 2004 | Active | Alameda Flood Control Channel Alameda County |
| Description | |||
| The Alameda County Flood Control Channel (ACFCC) is a large, unlined, trapezoidal channel that runs from east to west through Hayward, Alameda County, draining a nearly 800 square mile watershed into the San Francisco Bay. The levees on both sides of the ACFCC are topped with multi-use public trails that are part of the San Francisco Bay Trail and Coyote Hills Regional Park. Downstream from Ardenwood Blvd., beyond the levees to the north, are both active and inactive commercial salt ponds, with an industrial facility and parking lot along the furthest upstream levee. To the south are active salt ponds, seasonal wetlands, and Coyote Hills Regional Park. There are currently no housing units, schools or other similar facilities within this lower reach. The combined infestation of the six sub-areas of the Alameda Flood Control Channel comprises one of the largest Spartina alterniflora hybrid infestations in San Francisco Bay. The ISP's 2004 mapping effort estimates a total of roughly 150 contiguous acres of S. alterniflora/ hybrids on this site spread over approximately 470 acres (32%) of salt marsh and tidal mudflats. The primary treatment method at this site is aquatic herbicide, which will be applied by conventional spray truck, backpack sprayer, tracked amphibious vehicle, and/or helicopter. Partners on this site include the Alameda County Flood Control District and the California Wildlife Foundation. Note that this is a complex site composed of multiple sub-areas. Please refer to the Site Specific Plan for detailed descriptions of the sub-areas and the associated treatment methods. | |||
