	Description
	The area encompassed by this Site-Specific Plan includes the marshlands of the San Leandro and Hayward shoreline, Alameda County, extending south from the Metropolitan Golf Course and Oakland International Airport in the north to the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge in the south. A separate Site-Specific Plan for Oro Loma Marsh (TSN:ISP-2004-07) has been developed to specifically address the Spartina treatment approaches for that area, and is therefore not included in this Plan. The marshland areas in this site complex range from large, complex restored marsh systems to channel-bank fringe marsh areas. They line the east shore of the Bay, providing a natural border between the highly urbanized and developed areas of the cities of San Leandro, San Lorenzo, and Hayward and the open waters of the Bay. Much of this area is regularly used for passive recreational activities along portions of the Bay trail, within EBRPD lands, and other trails throughout the area. The infestations of non-native Spartina that constitute the San Leandro and Hayward Shoreline Complex are located along the shoreline in many types of habitats. Invasive Spartina can be found along the rip-rap of shoreline fill and levees, in remnant or newly formed pickleweed marsh, along channels emptying into the bay, amongst sand/shell beaches, within large established marsh restoration sites, on shallow Bay-edge mudflats, and in small coves and sheltered marsh areas along the Bay edge. In all Sub-Areas, non-native Spartina is rapidly expanding into the existing available habitat. Out of an estimated 580 acres of marsh habitat covered by this Site-Specific Plan, there are an estimated 204 net acres of non-native Spartina requiring control, representing 35.2% of the area. 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. Partners on this site include the Alameda County Flood Control District, East Bay Regional Parks District, City of San Leandro, City of Oakland, and the Oro Loma Sanitary District. 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.

The Start and End Date(s) listed below are the expected days for the Control Event based on the estimates provided by the contractor or ISP partner, and are subject to change.

The Control Program is implementing multi-year plans on the non-native Spartina infestations around the San Francisco Estuary. If the status of a Control Program event is listed as "Complete", it refers to the implementation of the plan for the posted event for a given year, and does not imply that the site has yet reached eradication. Please refer to the Site-Specific Plans for more information and a projected timeline to eradication for a given site.
