Shinn Pond Fish Screen
This project includes the construction of new diversion pipelines and cylindrical
fish screens that will replace the existing unscreened diversion pipes. The fish
screen system will consist of several self-cleaning cylindrical screens with a
track system on concrete pads along the bank of the Alameda Creek Flood
Control Channel and will prevent juvenile steelhead trout from being trapped
in Shinn Pond. The screened diversion facility will be used to divert water from
the ACFCC to Shinn Pond. The project also includes security fencing, controls,
and modification of the trail around the facility.
Location: In the City of Fremont, along the north side of the ACFCC upstream
of Alameda County Water District Rubber Dam No. 1.
Location Map.
Status: The design of the Shinn Pond diversion fish screen facility is
currently in progress.
Funding: The District received $445,000 in financial support for this project
from the California Department of Fish and Game Fisheries
Restoration Grant Program. The grant will also be used for the
Kaiser Pond Fish Screen Project.

Rubber Dam No. 1 Replacement
The Rubber Dam No. 1 Replacement Project will replace the existing
rubber dam and associated support equipment. The dam is approaching
the end of its useful life and is scheduled to be replaced to maintain
and improve the reliability of our critical water diversions from
Alameda Creek to the Quarry Lakes Recreational Area for
groundwater recharge.
Location Map.
The project will contain the following associated work:
• Replacement of the dam rubber membrane element
• Replacement or modification of existing dam anchorage
• Upgrading or replacement of ancillary equipment required to fill
and deflate the rubber dam
• Incorporate a plunge pool in the dam foundation to protect fish that
may be transported over the dam by any water that flows over
the dam
