The project consists of installing a new 54-inch gravity rediversion pipeline with
an intake structure in the bank of Shinn Pond, a flow metering vault, isolation
gate vault and an outlet structure into Stevenson Pond. A new pipeline will be
installed underneath active UPRR and BART tracks, which is located at the
Quarry Lakes adjacent to the Rancho Arroyo Park in City of Fremont.
Location Map.
Status: The project is more than 75 percent complete and construction is
proceeding on schedule.

Kaiser Pond Fish Screen
This project includes the construction a new diversion pipeline and
cylindrical fish screen that will replace the existing unscreened diversion.
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 Alameda
Creek Flood Control Channel (ACFCC) and will prevent juvenile
steelhead trout from being trapped in Kaiser Pond. The screen system
and diversion intake will be used to divert water from the ACFCC to
Kaiser Pond. The project also includes security fencing, controls, and
slight modification of the trail around the facility.
Location: In the City of Fremont, along the south side of the ACFCC
approximately 2,400 feet upstream of Alameda County Water
District’s Rubber Dam No. 1.
Location Map
Status: The project is more than 75 percent complete and construction
is proceeding on schedule.
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
Shinn 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
