Alameda Creek West End North Turnaround

Alameda Creek West End North Turnaround

The Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (District) provides flood protection functions throughout western Alameda County. The District plans, designs, constructs, and maintains flood control facilities, including projects at engineered channels, levees, creeks, wetlands, pump stations, dams, and reservoirs. The District is planning to restore the Alameda Creek West End North Levee Turnaround (Project), located along the north levee at the mouth of Alameda Creek (Zone 5, Line A) in Fremont, Union City and Hayward, Alameda County, California. Daily wind/wave and tidal action occur along the San Francisco Bay shoreline has severely damaged the terminus of the existing levee access road turnaround for emergency and maintenance vehicles. Alameda Creek was designed and constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and has been maintained by the District since its completion in the 1970s. Project objectives include: Restore turnaround for emergency and maintenance vehicles: The District would reconstruct the levee terminus to recommend use of “Turnaround” as this will be relocated away from the terminus of the levee and provide for minimum safe turning movements for emergency and maintenance vehicle and Provide Resiliency to Future Sea Level Rise and Erosion: The District would reconstruct the levee to increase resiliency to withstand future sea level rise and erosion. In particular, the higher final elevation of the turnaround and its relocation further inland would protect the reconstructed turnaround from erosion from wave run-up and king tides. In addition, these changes would improve the protection of the levee from changes resulting from future sea level rise.
