Berkeley Aquatic Park Improvement Project EIR

Berkeley Aquatic Park Improvement Project EIR

The Preferred Project would include rehabilitation of the existing tide tubes connecting the lagoons to San Francisco Bay in order to increase tidal exchange between the lagoons and Bay waters, thereby increasing the levels of dissolved oxygen and lowering the water temperature in the lagoons. The Preferred Project would eliminate the inflow of stormwater runoff to the lagoons from adjacent storm drains. An additional alternative will be evaluated that would allow no additional stormwater into the lagoons than under current conditions. Unlike the Preferred Proejct, the alternative would not eliminate stormwater runoff from storem drains and the primary difference between the Preferred Project and the alternative would be how the storm drain infrastructure is operated.
