Alameda Creek Watershed Steelhead Restoration Efforts


Bunting Pond Fish Screen
This project is located in the City of Fremont along the South side of the Alameda Creek Flood Control Channel (ACFCC) between the Union Pacific Railroad Bridge and Alameda Water District Rubber Dam No. 3.
 
The project construction will include modification of the existing water diversion intake and installation of a fish screen, fencing, control panel and trail modification. The fish screen system will consist of one self-cleaning cylindrical screen with a track system on a concrete pad along the bank of the ACFCC. The screen system and diversion intake will be used to divert water from Alameda Creek Flood Control Channel to Bunting Pond.



PROJECT GOALS
This diversion screen, recommended as part of an overall Alameda Creek Steelhead Restoration Program, will eliminate the potential for entrainment of out-migrating juvenile steelhead at the intake location, and is supported by the stakeholder-based Alameda Creek Fisheries Workgroup.


PROJECT STATUS
The project is currently in the testing phase and is scheduled to be operational by December, 2009. During construction, the trail adjacent to site will be closed.  For additional information see http://www.ebparks.org/closure.
