The primary purpose of the Project is to restore Alviso Slough to pre-1983 conditions, when a more open-water habitat allowed for better navigation that recreation. Six alternatives are proposed for restoration of Alviso Slough, including the required No Project Alternative.

- Alternative 1: Vegetation and Root Mass Removal (2.6 acres) to a 4-foot depth;
- Alternative 2: Vegetation and Root Mass Removal (7.0 acres) to a 4-foot depth;
- Alternative 3: Vegetation and Root Mass Removal + Dredging (3.7 acres) to an 8-foot depth;
- Alternative 4: Vegetation and Root Mass Removal + Dredging (6.2 acres) to a 16-foot depth;
- Alternative 5: Vegetation and Root Mass Removal (15.3 acres) to a 4-foot depth and Dredging (9.7 acres) to a 10-foot depth; and
