Title

Adobe Creek Upper Reach 5 Restoration Project

Description

The project proposes to construct improvements in Reach 5 of Adobe Creek to restore the eroded channel, stabilize creek banks, remove accumulated sediment under the West Edith Avenue Bridge, improve the channel conveyance capacity, and allow for overland flow during flood events. The project proposes a modified natural geomorphic design with a limited channel top width for the first 500 feet and a geomorphic design with step pools for the following 200 feet. Bank stabilization and erosion repairs would be constructed in the remaining 400 feet downstream. The project is located along Reach 5 of Adobe Creek in Los Altos and Los Altos Hills. The California Department of Fish and Game is executing a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement number 1600-2007-0452-3 pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to the project applicant, Kristen O'Kane / Santa Clara Valley Water District.
