Codornices Creek Restoration Project

This project restored a critical segment of Codornices Creek between Kains and San Pablo Avenues by stabilizing eroding creek banks and removing falling concrete. The project incorporated bioengineered creek bank soils, provides habitat for the benefit of steelhead, a federally threatened species that migrate upstream to spawn in this watershed; songbirds, and other terrestrial and aquatic species. Approximately 180 linear feet of the concrete channel and culvert was returned to an earthen channel. The project also includes a new trash rack to prevent branches and debris from clogging the culvert underneath San Pablo Avenue from flooding San Pablo Avenue and downstream properties.
