Description: U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS SAN FRANCISCO DISTRICT 1455 Market Street, 15th Floor San Francisco, CA 94103 CESPN-ET-EW August 3, 2009 Scope of Services for: CONTRACT NO.: W912P7-06-D-0001 TASK ORDER: TBD CONTRACTOR: Towill, Inc. PROJECT: Comprehensive Evaluation of Project Datums (CEPD) TITLE: ICW ARRA Funded Datums Evaluations Page 2 of 79 1. General The Comprehensive Evaluation of Project Datums (CEPD) is a USACE initiative that:...describes specific procedural actions immediately required to evaluate the accuracy and adequacy of existing flood protection elevations or controlling navigation depths relative to federal datums established by the Department of Commerce and prescribed for government-wide use by the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC). This guidance implements lessons learned from the Interagency Performance Evaluation Task Force (IPET) study conducted after Hurricane Katrina, as identified in Volume II (Geodetic Vertical and Water Level Datums) of the 1 June 2006 draft version of the Final IPET Report-see https://ipet.wes.army.mil. It is specifically intended to ensure that USACE project controlling elevations and datums are properly and accurately referenced to nationwide spatial reference systems used by other Corps Districts or Federal, state, and local agencies responsible for flood forecasting, inundation modeling, flood insurance rate maps, bathymetric mapping, and topographic mapping. CEPD is a multi-step process involving 1) a Datums Evaluation Report, 2) Implementation of Corrective Actions, and 3) updating the project design, if necessary. Information on USACE requirements for CEPD can be found in EC 1110-2-6065, Comprehensive Evaluation of Datums - Guidance for a Comprehensive Evaluation of Vertical Datums on Flood Control, Shore Protection, Hurricane Protection, and Navigation Projects (2 April 2007) (http://140.194.76.129/publications/engcirculars/ ec1110-2-6065/toc.htm.) Additional guidance was recently provided in ER 1110-2-8160 Policies for Referencing Project Elevation Grades to Nationwide Vertical. http://140.194.76.129/publications/eng-regs/er1110-2-8160/toc.html. Datums This Scope of Work covers review of project documents and preparation of the Datums Evaluation Report. Implementation of Corrective Actions and updating project design are not included in this Task Order. 2. Obligation of Surveyor - Engineer (S-E) The S-E will provide services and submittals as detailed in the following sections. It shall be the S-E's responsibility to review all available USACE San Francisco District documents to complete the Datums Evaluation Reports. S-E shall notify TPOC as least 2 days prior to any site visit, so that appropriate building security notifications can be made. S-E will have to follow standard building access requirements during each visit (photo, badge, escort, etc). S-E will need to visit both the USACE San Francisco District, San Francisco Office (1455 Market St) and Sausalito Construction Office to review project files. It may also be advantageous to visit Construction project field offices (xx). S-E may also wish to contact project sponsors to obtain additional data, however USACE project manager must be contacted and authorization to contact sponsors received on a project by project basis. Page 3 of 79 S-E shall maintain a log of all contact with USACE personnel (other than TPOC) and sponsors. If S-E does not receive a response from USACE personnel after 3 tries (at least one of which should be in writing via email), TPOC shall be notified. S-E shall not assume USACE copy machines are available. USACE copy machines are not always operational or are in heavy use by USACE personnel, and S-E shall not claim delays as a consequence. S-E may use USACE copy machines in Room 1585 as long as no hardship is imposed on USACE personnel. Large format copier is also available in Room 1551. S-E shall catalog and identify physical location for all documents referenced and/or removed from USACE offices and copy provided to TPOC after each visit. All reports, maps, data and other information shall be returned to USACE office and replaced exactly where borrowed from within one week of removal. 3. Obligation of the Government Government TPOC will be available for guidance and comments on all work under this contract. Any comments, advice and/or guidance given by the Government TPOC will be to assist the S-E in performing the work and will not change this scope of services or release the S-E from performing all work required unless written notification of such, signed by the Contracting Officer or the CO's designated representative (COR). For each project, TPOC shall provide the name and contact information for Project Manager, Engineering Technical Lead (ETL) (if one exists) and Hydraulic Engineer (if one exists). Many projects do not have an ETL or a Hydraulic Engineer. TPOC shall be primary technical contact for projects where these do not exist. For GI-CG and O&M projects - government will also provide information on project authorization, appropriation and type of project. For FCCE projects, project authorization will need to be identified by S-E, appropriation shall be identified as FCCE. See below for definitions of project types. 4. Contractor Services Tasks are defined based on groups of projects from various USACE programs. Project groups have been setup almost solely for accounting (RFP) purposes. Once contract is awarded priorities and S-E's preferred approach (geographic, etc) will be discussed at kick-off meeting. Most likely the SPN priority shall be CG, GI, O&M, FCCE. But District is also willing to be flexible if S-E considers an alternative approach to be more efficient. Projects are identified as either FCCE (Flood Control and Coastal Emergency), O&M (Operation & Maintenance), GI (General Investigation), or CG (Construction General). Projects designated here as Flood Control and Coastal Emergency (FCCE) are typically Page 4 of 79 projects constructed by a non-federal sponsor, that have been found eligible to receive federal assistance under Public Law 84-99, for disaster preparedness, emergency operations and/or rehabilitation of flood control works. These projects must meet specific federal requirements for maintenance and operation and are inspected biannually by the USACE to verify continued eligibility. It is anticipated that S-E will find very few supporting documents for FCCE projects. GI and CG projects are part of the USACE Civil Works program. Typically GI projects are in the study or design phase, while CG projects are in construction. However there are also several CG projects at the San Francisco District that are in the study phase, but because they are already constructed and in operation, they received CG funds and are therefore referred to as CG projects even though, there is no currently on-going construction. An example of this is the Sacramento Deep Water Ship Channel. It currently has an operational depth of 30 feet MLLW, however there is an active study to evaluate deepening the project to 35 feet MLLW or some intermediate increment. O&M projects are projects where construction is complete and project is operated by the USACE, such as many of our navigation projects. The Contractor's services shall include the following items for all Tasks. S-E will need to visit both the USACE San Francisco District, San Francisco Office (1455 Market St., POC: Anne K Sturm) and Sausalito Construction Office to review project files. It may also be advantageous to visit Construction project field offices. S-E may also wish to contact project sponsors to obtain additional data, however USACE project manager must be contacted and authorization to contact sponsors received on a project by project basis. S-E shall maintain a log of all contact with USACE personnel (other than TPOC) and sponsors. If S-E does not receive a response from USACE personnel after 3 tries (at least one of which should be in writing via email), TPOC shall be notified. S-E shall notify TPOC as least 2 days prior to any visit to USACE offices, so that appropriate building security notifications can be made. At 1455 Market St., S-E will have to follow standard building access requirements during each visit (photo, badge, escort, etc). S-E shall catalog and identify physical location for all documents referenced and/or removed from USACE offices and copy provided to TPOC after each visit. All reports, maps, data and other information shall be returned to USACE office and replaced exactly where borrowed from within one week of removal. S-E shall complete the Comprehensive Evaluation of Project Datums (CEPD) Evaluation Report for each project. Even when multiple projects appear to be part of the same system, a separate report must be completed for each project. A template report and an example of a completed report are included with this Scope of Work as Attachments 1 Page 5 of 79 and 2. All report sections shall be completed by S-E. The completed CEPD Evaluation Report will be submitted to TPOC for review and approval. Report shall assess the adequacy and accuracy of reference datums and survey control for the subject project and meet the requirements of EC 1110-2-6065. The evaluation report includes, but is not limited to, the following elements: identify and document all project survey control monuments and benchmarks; document existing NSRS connections; identify any legacy survey control (e.g. NAD27, NGVD29) and provide conversions between legacy datums and NAVD88; and, document basis for all source hydraulic elevations, including gages, and their survey control. If information is available, S-E shall identify datums and elevation data used in hydrodynamic models. Project must meet a relative and absolute vertical accuracy requirement of 0.25 feet. Though TPOC may direct the use an alternate vertical accuracy on a project by project basis. Use of Vertcon for datum conversions is not an acceptable option for either existing project control or corrective action. At a minimum, project must be referenced to the North American Datum 1983 (NAD83), National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) 2007, epoch of 2007.00 or later, and the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 ( NAVD88). Recommended geoid model shall be GEOID09. GEOID09 release is expected by late September 2009. Any alternation of this control shall be accompanied by an explanation from S-E. Once a Draft Datums Evaluation Report is completed for a project, it shall be submitted to TPOC for review. TPOC comments shall be provided to S-E within 2 weeks of receipt of draft report. Teleconference may be held should the S-E have any questions regarding comments. Final Datums Evaluation Report shall be submitted to TPOC two weeks after receipt of comments. This contract is being funded from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) (Stimulus) funds. Therefore Contractor must complete quarterly reporting requirements as defined in Attachment 3. At the time with SOW is being issued, reporting website is not yet active. TPOC will work with Contractor to fulfill reporting requirements. Task A: FCCE Group A Task includes project review and completion of Datums Evaluation Report. See details above. S-E shall assume 2 meetings - one kick-off meeting and one meeting following completion of first few reports. CAD and/or GIS files of the FCCE project alignments are available in various coordinate systems. It should be noted that these are approximate alignments based on field inspections. Any waypoints shown on figures are related to a specific inspection event and not related to any project specific control. Page 6 of 79 All FCCE projects are flood control projects including either leveed channel, incised channels, and/or incised channel. Task covers the following projects: 1.

Bay Farm Island Dike - Shore Protection (CG), Figure 26 Page 9 of 79 Shore Protection project located along the south side of San Leandro Channel and San Leandro Bay between Bay Farm Island Bridge and the confluence of San Leandro Channel and Airport Channel. 57. Corte Madera Creek - Flood Control Project, Figure 27 Corte Madera Creek and its tributaries drain an area of 28 square miles in Marin County, California, and discharge into the west side of San Francisco Bay nine miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge. The flood control project has been built in separate units. 58. Estudillo Canal - Single Purpose Flood Risk Management, Figure 28 The study area is located within the City of San Leandro, California and about 15 miles southeast of San Francisco. The watershed drains into the San Francisco Bay, with a drainage area of approximately 10 square miles. A substantial number of properties within this densely populated area are designated as being in a Federal Emergency Management Agency floodplain. The study will evaluate potential flood damage reduction alternatives in a highly developed area. 59. Hamilton Airfield Wetland Restoration - Environmental Restoration (CG), Figure 29 The project site is located on San Pablo Bay, four miles east of the city of Novato, in Marin County, California, and includes 988 acres of a former military airfield and adjacent California State Lands Commission areas. The levee-protected site has subsided below the elevation of surrounding properties, including the tidal wetlands immediately adjacent to San Pablo Bay. This wetlands restoration project would advance the beneficial reuse of dredge material from San Francisco Bay as part of the Long Term Management Strategy (LTMS). The California State Coastal Conservancy is the non-Federal sponsor. 60. Laguna de Santa Rosa - Environmental Restoration, Figure 30 The Laguna de Santa Rosa, a tributary of the Russian River, is located approximately 13 miles west of the city of Santa Rosa in Sonoma County, California. Historically, this area has served as a naturally occurring 7,000-acre storm detention basin during flooding of the Russian River, and is a valuable coastal fresh water wetland. The local community believes that siltation has reduced the ability of the Laguna de Santa Rosa to function as a major flood basin, and that thousands of acres of wetlands habitat have been lost or degraded. Endangered species (steelhead trout and red-legged frogs) are being negatively impacted due to this loss of habitat. The study will investigate and evaluate solutions to the siltation problem in order to restore both the storm detention function and wetland habitat of the area. 61. Larkspur Ferry Channel - Navigation (O&M), Figure 31 This project consists of maintenance dredging of the main navigation channel to a depth of -13 feet Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) for a length of 13,560-feet and a width of 232-feet wide, with a -15 feet MLLW Turning Basin at the channel Page 10 of 79 terminal. The non-Federal sponsor, Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District, provides ferryboat transit service between Marin County and San Francisco. 62. Las Gallinas 205 - Flood Control (CG), Figure 32 Las Gallinas Creek is located east of Highway 101 in the Santa Venetia area of Marin County, about 10 miles north of San Francisco. Las Gallinas Creek is vulnerable to extreme high tides and heavy storm runoff, and the existing levee system is approaching the end of its useful life. A Section 205 flood damage reduction study was initiated under the Continuing Authorities Program (CAP). 63. Napa River Salt Marsh - Environmental Restoration (CG), Figure 33 This project is a shallow-draft channel, mainly light commercial and recreational navigation. The operations and maintenance schedule provides for 6-year cycle maintenance dredging for the Napa River Channel to -15 feet Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) from Mare Island Strait Causeway to Asylum Slough (down-stream portion); thence -10 feet MLLW to head of navigation at the Third Street Bridge in the City of Napa (up-stream portion). The project is approximately 16 miles long. 64. Ocean Beach - Shore Protection, Figure 34 Ocean Beach forms the western boundary of the City of San Francisco, California, extending 3.3 miles along the Pacific Ocean coastline. The City of San Francisco, the local sponsor, desires Corps assistance with developing and implementing a suitable long-term coastal storm damage prevention plan. The beach itself is part of the larger National Park Service Golden Gate National Recreation Area, and is recognized as a uniquely valuable coastal resource within an urban environment. San Francisco maintains municipal infrastructure on City property along the coastline, including the Great Highway and the Lake Merced Sewage Transport Tunnel. The area falls within the jurisdiction of the California Coastal Commission under the California Coastal Act. 65. Oyster Point Harbor - Navigation (CG), Figure 35 The City of South San Francisco owns Oyster Point Marina/Park, a 600-berth recreational/commercial marina located adjacent to a variety of business parks, including the headquarters for Genentech, approximately ten miles south of San Francisco and two miles north of San Francisco International Airport. The 46-acre facility includes picnic areas, jogging trails, a recreational fishing pier, bait shop, small boat marine service and sales center, existing and proposed hotels, restaurants and offices. Since 1977, the San Mateo County Harbor District has operated Oyster Point Marina/Park under a Joint Powers Agreement with the City. A concrete breakwater protects the Marina; however, there is a need to modify the entrance of the harbor to provide safe navigation for current tenants of the marina, as well as dinner cruise boats and a commuter ferry expected to begin operations in 2008. The ferry is expected to provide NED benefits and reduce traffic and pollution impacts in the Bay Area. 66. Pajaro River Watsonville - Single Purpose Flood Risk Management, Figure 36 Page 11 of 79 The existing flood damage reduction project, located in Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties, California, consists of levees and channel improvements on the Pajaro River and Corralitos and Salsipuedes Creeks constructed in 1949 to provide 50-year flood protection to the Watsonville area. While the project remains capable of successfully passing the flow rate it was originally designed for, the current level of flood protection is about 8-15 years. This study will develop a locally acceptable plan for flood protection features along the Pajaro River and Corralitos and Salsipuedes Creeks in order to increase the level of flood protection afforded by the project. 67. Petaluma River - Flood Damage Reduction (CG), Figure 37 The Petaluma River is located in Sonoma and Marin Counties, California on San Pablo Bay. Project operations and maintenance provides for maintenance dredging of a channel 200 feet wide and -8 feet deep across the flats in San Pablo Bay to the mouth of the river; thence 100 feet wide and -8 feet deep to Western Avenue in Petaluma, including a turning basin 300 to 400 feet wide and -8 feet deep. The City of Petaluma is the local sponsor and is responsible for providing a suitable upland disposal site. 68. Sacramento DWSC - Navigation (CG), Figure 38 The Sacramento River Deep Water Ship Channel Project is a Congressionally authorized project being implemented by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) and the Port of Sacramento. Currently, the Corps and the Port of Sacramento are conducting a Limited Reevaluation Study to recommend navigation improvements for Federal funding and preparing a joint Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement and Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (SEIS/SEIR) to evaluate the action of resuming construction of navigational improvements to the Sacramento River Deep Water Ship Channel (SRDWSC). The SRDWSC runs from the Contra Costa county line to the Port of Sacramento. The SRDWSC is located in the Sacramento - San Joaquin Delta region of northern California. The 46.5-mile long ship channel lies within Contra Costa, Solano, Sacramento, and Yolo Counties and serves the marine terminal facilities at the Port of Sacramento. The SRDWSC joins the existing 35-feet deep channel at New York Slough, thereby affording the Port of Sacramento access to San Francisco Bay Area harbors and the Pacific Ocean. 69. San Pedro Creek, Pacifica - Flood Risk Management (CG), Figure 39 San Pedro Creek lies in the Linda Mar area of Pacifica, California, along the Pacific coast just south of San Francisco. The area has been subjected to severe damaging floods, with approximately 100 acres subject to flooding. During the most recent flood event in 1982, 183 residential and 10 commercial units suffered damages exceeding $4 million. The project will use a floodwall plan and diversion-wetlandbypass plan developed by the local sponsor as their preferred plan. 70. San Rafael Creek - Navigation, Figure 40 Page 12 of 79 San Rafael Creek is located north of San Francisco Bay in Marin County. This project is a shallow-draft, mainly light commercial and recreational, channel. The operations and maintenance schedule provides for 7 and 4-year cycle maintenance dredging, respectively, for the Across the Flats Channel to -8 feet Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) in San Francisco Bay to the mouth of San Rafael Creek; thence -6 feet MLLW for the Inner Canal Channel to the head of navigation at the Grand Street Bridge in the City of San Rafael. The Across the Flats portion has always been authorized for unconfined in-Bay aquatic disposal at site SF-11 south of Alcatraz Island. 71. San Ramon Valley Recycled Water Project - Section 219 Environmental Infrastructure (CG), Figure 41 The project is located in the San Ramon Valley, approximately 25 miles east of San Francisco, in the California counties of Contra Costa and Alameda. The project area runs from Danville south to Dublin. The project will facilitate the use of recycled water to replace potable water for landscape irrigation. The Corps' portion of this project will include the design of one pump station and 6,500 feet of pipeline. 72. Santa Rosa Creek Ecosystem Restoration - Environmental Restoration, Figure 42 The Santa Rosa Creek watershed encompasses approximately 80 square miles, including the City of Santa Rosa, in Sonoma County, California. Santa Rosa Creek, a tributary to the Russian River, was channelized by the Soil Conservation Service in the 1960s to provide flood control protection to the surrounding City of Santa Rosa. The existing flood control structures have resulted in habitat loss. The sponsor initiated this study in 1999 to restore the degraded areas and re-establish parts of the creek as an area to restore salmonid spawning habitat. A draft hydrologic study, completed in August 2002, concluded that the predicted one percent flows on the Santa Rosa Creek significantly exceeds the current capacity of the existing flood control structures. The sponsor has reviewed the Corps' Hydrologic study and has requested that flood damage reduction measures be incorporated as a purpose of this study. 73. SF Bay to Stockton - Navigation (CG), Figure 43 The project consists of deep draft navigation channels, extending from the San Francisco Bay entrance to the Port of Stockton, through San Francisco, Marin, Contra Costa, Solano, Sacramento, and San Joaquin Counties. The Corps is assessing the feasibility of deepening the existing 35-foot channel. The Port of Stockton is the non- Federal sponsor for the study and Contra Costa County is a project partner. 74. Sonoma Creek & Tributaries - Environmental Restoration, Figure 44 The study area is located in Sonoma County, California. The Sonoma Creek watershed drains a 170-square mile area into the northern reaches of the San Francisco Bay estuary. This study was originally funded as part of the overall San Pablo Bay Watershed Management Study as provided in the Energy & Water Appropriations Act of 1998. The findings of this study indicate a Federal interest in Page 13 of 79 providing solutions for environmental restoration and flood protection to Sonoma Creek and its tributaries. 75. Upper Guadalupe River - Flood Damage Reduction (CG), Figure 45 The Upper Guadalupe River study area is located in the City of San Jose, Santa Clara County, California. The river reach proposed for this project begins at Interstate Highway 280, at the edge of downtown San Jose, and extends south for approximately 5.5 miles. The proposed project utilizes a combination of bypass channels, floodwalls, and some channel widening to achieve flood damage reduction, and is expected to aid the long term recovery of riparian forest habitat and salmonoid migration. Option Task D: GI_CG Group B Task includes project review and completion of Datums Evaluation Report. See details above. 76. Arroyo de la Laguna - Flood Damage Reduction & Environmental Restoration, Figure 46 Arroyo de la Laguna is located in Alameda County, about 25 miles southeast of San Francisco. Arroyo de la Laguna collects and drains runoff from Livermore, Dublin and Pleasanton into Alameda Creek; a number of tributaries extend into Contra Costa and Santa Clara Counties. The upper basin is approximately 15 miles wide, 45 miles long and covers about 398,000 acres. The current Reconnaissance Study would evaluate Federal interest in solutions to potential flooding and associated damage to surrounding riparian habitat. 77. Bolinas Lagoon Restoration - Ecosystem Restoration, Figure 47 Bolinas Lagoon is a tidal embayment located 15 miles northwest of San Francisco, on the Marin County coastline between the towns of Stinson Beach and Bolinas. The lagoon is part of the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary managed bythe National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Sedimentation in the lagoon is causing a continuous loss of important subtidal and intertidal aquatic habitat, resulting in a reduction of the diversity and abundance of aquatic life. The goal of the environmental restoration effort is to ameliorate the adverse human impacts to Bolinas Lagoon, thereby promoting the natural, dynamic processes of this internationally-recognized estuarine environment. Although, over the long term, sediment deposition will continue to fill the lagoon, the restoration project is intended to significantly slow the present rate of intertidal and subtidal habitat loss. 78. FPMS San Mateo Co Levee Survey - Survey, Support to Others, Figure 48 Project would involve implementation of a USACE survey. 79. Pier 36 Removal - unknown (CG), Figure 49 USACE support leading to plans and specifications for removal of Pier 36. Page 14 of 79 80. Salt River Restoration - Ecosystem Restoration, CAP 206 (CG), Figure 50 The Salt River is a tributary of the Eel River located near the town of Ferndale, in Humboldt County, California. It originates in the Wildcat Mountains above Ferndale, flows across the Eel River delta, and enters the Eel River within one mile of the Pacific Ocean. This area lies in the 4th largest estuary in California and provides habitat for two federally and state listed endangered species: the Brown Pelican and Peregrine Falcon. The proposed Salt River Restoration Project is expected to restore approximately two miles of riparian and wetland habitats along the Salt River, which has been experiencing major ecosystem degradation due to sedimentation and drainage problems. Project solutions under consideration include tide gate removal and dredging to control excess sedimentation, and riparian restoration. The proposed project is also expected to incidentally reduce future flooding and infrastructure disasters. The non-Federal sponsor is the Humboldt County Resource Conservation District (RCD). 81. San Francisco Bay Delta Model & Base Yard - Existing Infrastructure, Figure 51 San Francisco Bay Delta Model Regional Visitor Center is located in Sausalito, California. The Center currently serves over 150,000 visitors annually, 60% of them school children, fulfilling the Corps Strategic Communication goals, providing public and curriculum-based school tours, special events, workshops, and seminars on the Corps' modern missions within the context of the environmental, cultural, and historical issues of the Bay Area. The center piece is a hydraulic scale model covering one and one-half acres that was once used to reproduce existing and proposed conditions of the San Francisco Bay and Estuary. Exhibits and programs explain technical aspects of the model and the role of the Corps in water resource developments in the Bay Area and throughout the Nation. The Regional Bay Model Visitors Center works in cooperation with the Bay Model Association, which is a non-profit organization. One of their main programs is the JASON project, which provides school children scientific exploration of environments around the world through video hookups at the Bay Model. Sponsors for this program include National Geographic, NASA, and NOAA. 82. St Helena - Flood Risk Management and Environmental Restoration, Figure 52 The project is located approximately 60 miles north of San Francisco, in the City of St. Helena, Napa County, California. The proposed project would provide rearing, resident, and migratory habitats for Federally listed threatened and endangered species and remove barriers to fish migration. The project would reconnect the Napa River with restored aquatic, riparian and upstream habitat along the Napa River. The City of St. Helena is the non-Federal Sponsor. 83. Upper Penitencia Creek - Single Purpose Flood Risk Management, Figure 53 Upper Penitencia Creek is located in the City of San Jose, in Santa Clara County, California. The project is intended to reduce flood damages in San Jose and Milpitas. Alternatives under consideration for this 3.6-mile reach include a combination of flood-proofing at the upstream limit, levees, floodwalls and bypass channels. Page 15 of 79 Option Task E: GI_CG Group C Task includes project review and completion of Datums Evaluation Report. See details above. Watershed studies are very general in nature and eventually lead to specific projects within the watershed. The datums evaluation in this case must also be general, identifying existing resources in the region and any shortcomings. 84. Arana Gulch Watershed - Watershed Study, Figure 54 This Ecosystem Restoration study was authorized by the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Resolution dated June 25, 1999. The study area is located in Santa Cruz County, California, adjacent to the Port of Santa Cruz. The study area includes 2,200 acres of coastal watershed and seven miles of stream. The study will involve a collaborative watershed planning effort to restore passage for endangered anadromous fish, restore native riparian vegetation, improve water quality, improve connectivity of the upper habitat, and reduce erosion and sedimentation throughout the watershed. Additionally, the beneficial use of sediment from the stream and harbor is being considered as part of a Regional Sediment Management initiative. 85. Corte Madera Creek 209 - Watershed Study, Figure 55 The project study area is located in Marin County, California. Corte Madera Creek and its tributaries drain an area of 28 square miles into the west side of San Francisco Bay, nine miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge. This study will examine improvements to stream function and flood damage reduction by exploring potential physical and management measures including storm water management, development, and sedimentation measures, as well as creek and habitat improvements and maintenance. Local groups have requested a watershed study to examine potential constructed and management improvements to the function of the watershed, both to improve migration of the threatened Steelhead (et al) and reduce flood damages. 86. Laguna Creek Watershed - Watershed Study, Figure 56 The study area is located within the City of Fremont, California about 28 miles southeast of San Francisco. The watershed drains into the San Francisco Bay, with a drainage area of approximately 25 square miles. This study will evaluate potential flood damage reduction alternatives in a highly developed area. 87. Napa Valley Watershed Mgmt - Watershed Study, Figure 57 The Napa Valley Watershed is located within the northern portion of the San Pablo Bay drainage basin in Napa County, California. The purpose of this study is to complete a watershed analysis of the Napa River Watershed in order to address watershed problems and opportunities through water and related land resource management. Page 16 of 79 88. Pajaro River Basin Study - Watershed Study, Figure 58 This project is a watershed study centering on the Pajaro River, and includes the California counties of Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Monterey and San Benito. The study will focus on flood protection, ecosystem restoration solutions and other purposes such as recreation and water supply for the entire 12,000-square-mile watershed. 89. Russian River Watershed - Watershed Study, Figure 59 The Russian River Watershed encompasses 1,485 square miles (approx. 950,000 acres) within Sonoma and Mendocino Counties, California. This watershed study will look at opportunities to prevent or reduce flood damages, to restore riverine ecosystem values and the wise use of floodplains, to restore watershed functions through restorative land-use practices, and to conserve remaining hydrologic and ecological resources. The result of Phase I was the formation of the Russian River Watershed Council, with the mission to protect, restore, and enhance the biological health of the Russian River and its watershed through a community-based process, facilitating communication and collaboration among all interested parties. The Plan of Action for Phase II (POA) was also completed in Phase I. The POA articulates critical issues and potential actions, and can be found at website http://www.rrwc.net. Phase II will include the completion of a Russian River Watershed Adaptive Management Plan (WAMP). 90. San Pablo Bay Watershed, CA - Watershed Study, Figure 60 The San Pablo Bay Watershed Project addresses near, mid, and long-term restoration and flood protection in the San Pablo Bay Watershed. The non-Federal sponsor for the project is the State Coastal Conservancy. The San Pablo Bay Watershed is in the northern reach of the San Francisco Estuary, an area whose population is projected to increase by two million people during the next three decades. Innovative planning and construction approaches can minimize the environmental impacts caused by this growth and corresponding changes in land uses, including directing population and land use changes away from critical resources such as wetland and riparian habitats. The San Pablo Bay Watershed Restoration Program (Program) provides technical, planning, and design assistance for restoration and flood protection in order to clarify restoration parameters, goals, and objectives, and to identify and prioritize future restoration opportunities. The technical, planning, and design assistance provided to the Program supports resources protection for the construction of replacement wetlands, protection from additional pollution, and creation of habitats to increase the biodiversity and habitat values in the watershed. 91. Upper York Creek Dam - Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration, Figure 61 The project is located approximately 60 miles north of San Francisco, in the City of St. Helena, Napa County, California. Upper York Creek Dam is an earthen dam built around the turn of the 20th century. Its reservoir served as a water supply for the City of St. Helena. The proposed project would create and restore approximately two acres of channel, riparian, and upland habitat near the dam. It would also reconnect approximately two miles of stream corridor habitat and associated upland habitat, improving water quality and rearing, resident, and migratory habitats for Federally Page 17 of 79 listed threatened and endangered species. The non-Federal project sponsor is the City of St. Helena. 5. Submittals I.
