Document Description
Removal of approximately 45,000 cubic yards of silt from the beds of Novato Creek, Warner Creek, and Arroyo Avichi Creek. This dredging is a routine maintenance for a designated flood control project. The site was most recently dredged in year 2000. The project area on Novato Creek will extend 5,630 feet from Diablo Avenue to 500 feet downstream of Northwestern Pacific Railroad Bridge, on Warner Creek the project area will extend 1,780 feet from Diablo Avenue to the confluence with Novato Creek, and on Arroyo Avichi it will extend 680 feet from South Novato Boulevard to the confluence with Novato Creek. The project area will be dewatered using three- coffer dams installed at the upper project limits on the downstream side of Diablo Avenue on Novato Creek and Warner Creek and at the downstream project limit 500 feet below the railroad bridge. Any flow from Novato Creek and Warner Creek will be diverted through existing pipes to the nearby Baccaglio Basin. Baccaglio Basin drains to Scottsdale Marsh, thence Scottsdale Pond, thence the Novato Creek marsh from which it can then re-enter Novato Creek downstream of the project area.
