Document Description
The proposed project will restore and/or enhance habitat over approximately a one mile stretch of an unnamed tributary of Marshall Creek (see Exhibit 1-1 "Location Map") located between the Lowe's Reload Facility and Oakmont Dowling Orchard Industrial Park (north of Nicholas Road) to the upper San Timoteo Creek confluence (south of Oak Valley Parkway). The project proposes to conduct streambed restoration work consisting of removing non-native, invasive plant species and replanting riparian vegetation to enhance aquatic resources. The project proposes to redistribute recycled water (up to 1.5 MGD or an annual maximum of 1680 AFY) into the unnamed Marshall Creek tributary from the City's Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 1 (WWTP). Currently, the WWTP discharges its effluent water to Cooper's Creek at a rate of 2.5 MGD. Per US Fish & Game review of redistribution of WWTP discharge water (see attached USF&F letter, received by the BCVWD on Feb 29, 2008) the City must maintain a minimum rate 1.8 MGD into Cooper's Creek to sustain the creek's existing riparian habitat. Moreover, under the condition of "incidental recharge" proposed for the initial start of the project, a maximum amount of 500 AFY can be discharged into the subject Marshall Creek tributary without requiring approval of a new title 22 Engineering Report from the California Department of Public Health (presently under review by the CDPH).
