Status | Name |
| 017 | 2005 | Active | Alameda & San Leandro Bay Complex Alameda County |
| Description | |||
| The area encompassed by this Site-Specific Plan includes all marshlands of the Alameda and San Leandro Bay Area extending from the western tip of Bayfarm Island and San Leandro Channel in the west, to east of Interstate 880 and the Oakland Coliseum in the east. The northern boundary of the site is the Port of Oakland shipping terminals, and the southern edge is 98th Ave on San Leandro Creek. This area supports many diverse habitat types despite the fact that it is directly adjacent to some of the most highly developed land on the west coast. Within this area there are recently restored tidal marshes, freshwater ponds and upland islands, highly complex and diverse historic marsh habitats that include channels, high marsh, mudflats and pans, thin strip marshes along rip-rapped shoreline, public parks and trails, open mudflats, creek channels and mouths, sandy beach areas, marinas, private residences, commercial areas, industrial manufacturing facilities, shipping, and many other land use types. The Spartina infestations within this site are distributed throughout the habitat types described above. Most notably, Arrowhead Marsh and the Elsie Roemer Bird Sanctuary support the largest infestations of Spartina in the Alameda and San Leandro Bay Complex. In sum, the shoreline of this site contains 88.5 acres of non-native Spartina targeted for control. This infestation is rapidly expanding into new areas, including the restored marshlands of the Martin Luther King Jr. Wetlands Project. The primary treatment method at this site is aquatic herbicide, which will be applied by conventional spray truck, backpack sprayer, amphibious tracked vehicle, boat, and/or helicopter. Some private landowners may choose to use manual digging or covering with geotextile fabric to control small infestations on their land. Partners on this site include the Alameda County Flood Control District, East Bay Regional Parks District, City of Alameda, City of Oakland, Port of Oakland, U.S. Coast Guard, Save the Bay, and Golden Gate Audubon. 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. | |||
