Document Description
The Santa Clara Valley Water District is the primary water resources agency for Santa Clara County. The District serves as the County's water wholesaler and provides stream stewardship and flood protection for Santa Clara Valley residents, businesses, and transportation networks. As such, the District is charged with local flood protection in the 322 square mile Coyote Watershed, the largest of the County's five watersheds. This watershed extends from the urbanized valley floor upward to the vast natural area of the Diablo Range. Sixteen major creeks drain the Coyote Watershed, including Coyote Creek as its main waterway and the creeks associated with the proposed Lower Berryessa Creek Program: Lower Berryessa Creek, Calera Creek, Tularcitos Creek, and Lower Penitencia Creek. The District is proposing flood control improvements that would result in the containment of the flow in the channel with adequate freeboard requirements in Lower Berryessa, Calera, Tularcitos, and Lower Penitencia creeks. The Program would include the construction of flood protection related elements to be implemented on the four creeks identified above. The Program is divided by geography, and implementation sequence, into six program elements. These elements are further divided by treatment type into 15 stream reaches.
