ACWD will support steelhead restoration efforts in the Alameda Creek Watershed through the removal of an inflatable rubber dam to help facilitate fish migration in the lower section of Alameda Creek, and discontinue use of an unscreened diversion. This project is recommended as part of the Alameda Creek steelhead restoration program and is supported by the stakeholder-based Alameda Creek Fisheries Workgroup.
The project is currently in the construction phase with work to be completed by December, 2009.
The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation awarded $500,000 to the District as financial support for this project.
