ACWD-ACFC Joint Lower Alameda Creek Fish Passage Improvements

The Alameda County Water District and Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District propose to construct a new fish ladder at ACWD's Rubber Dam 1 and ACFC's drop structure; a new fish ladder at ACWD's Rubber Dam 3; replace the existing Rubber Dam 1 bag, equipment and controls with new materials; and construct a new Shinn diversion and fish screening facility and decommission the existing unscreened diversion pipelines. The purpose of these actions is to allow fish to migrate past the rubber dams, drop structure and diversion pipes in the reach of Alameda Creek between Mission Boulevard and Fernwood Court, Fremont, CA.
