1 Dutch Slough Tidal Marsh and Floodplain Restoration Project
2 Project Goals 1. A large-scale, locally supported restoration project with shoreline access as well as educational, recreational, and economic opportunities 2. Restoration of the Dutch Slough properties to a fully functioning, self-sustaining ecosystem that includes diverse habitats 3. Significantly contribute to scientific understanding of tidal marsh and floodplain restoration under an adaptive management framework
3 Species and Habitat Objectives Juvenile salmon rearing habitat Splittail spawning and rearing habitat Potential Delta smelt spawning habitat Intertidal marsh with dendritic channels Diverse habitat types for native upland and aquatic species

18 Soil Diversity Enhances habitat diversity Enables studies of marsh evolution and restoration
19 Relict dunes with Delhi sands create an opportunity to restore Antioch dunes and dune species
20 Proximity to Diverse Species Sacramento splittail and Delta smelt Congregate in Suisun Marsh, the western Delta, and Big Break Chinook salmon, pass through the Delta by Dutch Slough and spawn in Marsh Creek
21 Animal Species California Black Rail (CBR) Curved-Foot Hygrotus Diving Beetle (HDB) Northern Harrier Hawk (NHH) Silvery Legless Lizard (SLL) Tri-Colored Blackbird (TCB) White-Tailed Kite (WTK) Yellow-Breasted Chat (YBC) Plant Species Antioch Evening Primrose (AE) California Black rail Yellow- Breasted Chat Special status species found near, but not on the Dutch Slough site

25 Public BIG JERSE ISLAND DUTCH Access Planning restoration and public access together MARSH TRAIL FUTURE CITY PARK SITE (55 CITY WATERFRONT ACCESS (8 TRAIL Shoreline access is rare in the Delta CYPRESS FUTUR HOMES CCWD CANAL N Proximity to urban communities, and Marsh Creek Trail Potential to link with other environmental educational efforts City, Delta Science Center, and Community College
26 The historic Gilbert house is located on the City s 55-acre community park The historic Ironhouse school house, owned by the Emerson family, may be relocated to the community park site
27 Levees Possible to increase habitat while maintaining integrity of levee Provide access and trails
28 JERSEY ISLAND MARSH CREEK EMERSO PARCEL GILBER PARCEL BURROUGH PARCEL NEW LEVEE Improve Jersey Island Road Provide flood emergency evacuation for Bethel and Jersey Island residents N Levees create three separate parcels
29 Sloughs Three deep, wide sloughs dissect the site
30 Cross sections of Emerson Slough 0 Horizontal Distance (ft) Depth (ft)
31 Contra Costa Canal Buffer Inundation barrier
32 Constraints
33 MARSH CREEK N EMERSO PARCEL JERSEY ISLAND GILBER PARCEL BURROUGH PARCEL Levees must be maintained to prevent: Wind fetch Wave erosion on adjacent islands Salinity increase NEW LEVEE ON JERSEY ISLAND ROAD Levees Construction of new levee on Burroughs parcel before restoration of Burroughs parcel can proceed
34 Water Quality: Run-off Drainage and stormwater runoff from Cypress Corridor development into Emerson Slough High nutrient content from dairy waste
35 Run-off from Marsh Creek watershed may threaten water quality
36 Water Quality: Salinity Restoration/inundation of new tidal wetlands can impact salinity levels at drinking water intakes (such as Rock Slough) Extent of impact dependent on location of new wetlands and size of levee breaches Contra Costa Water District Service Area
37 Tidally averaged salinity time series at Old River at Bacon Island for base and Dutch Slough levee breach simulations Tidally averaged percent change in base salinity for Dutch Slough levee breach on May 31, 1992
38 Mt. Diablo Mercury Mine On Dunn Creek Water Quality: Methylmercury Mercury mine upstream in Marsh Creek watershed Methylization occurs in wetlands
39 Water Quality: Dissolved Organic Carbons (DOC) Fundamental conflict between restoration and drinking water Monitor types and quantity of DOC coming off the site Accommodate experimental research in design Levee breaches may affect DOC
40 Groundwater Impacts Knightsen septic system Water table is currently only 18 below surface in Knightsen Intrusion into Contra Costa Canal Oakley Dutch Slough Restoration Site Knightsen
41 Overabundance of Shallow Sub-tidal Water Habitat Flooding without grading would create too much shallow sub-tidal water habitat Limited fill onsite Expensive to import fill
42 Invasive Fish Species Bluegill Large mouth bass Threadfin shad Invasive fish species prey on native fish species
43 Invasive Plant Species Giant Reed (Arundo donax) Brazilian water weed (Egeria densa) Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes)
44 Mosquito Management Minimizing mosquitoes and other vectors on the site, especially West Nile Virus Contra Costa County Mosquito and Vector Control District will require strict measures to monitor and control mosquitoes and vectors
45 Maintain Integrity of the Contra Costa Canal High water overtopping Seepage of saline water into the Canal Erosion of canal bank
46 Existing Infrastructure on Property Ironhouse Sanitary District pipeline Natural gas wells 11 wells on the Burroughs and Gilbert parcels 1 well in operation on Burroughs property 10 wells scheduled to be plugged and abandoned as condition of sale to DWR Mineral rights and constrained surface rights are being retained by the owners Future exploration will need to be accommodated Surface entry rights will be restricted to 1.5 acres on each parcel
47 PG&E electrical lines PG&E maintaining easement Transmission towers provide habitat for predators and electrocute birds Footings may have to be reinforced if site is flooded
48 PG&E natural gas pipeline PG&E maintaining easement
49 Possible Design Features to Address Key Constraints
50 Minimizing Invasive Plant and Fish Species Reduce area of subtidal marsh and maximize area of intertidal marsh Create a dendritic channel network Manipulate salinity and water levels to favor natives and discourage exotics
51 Locate subtidal shallow water areas at the terminus of tidal sloughs rather than the mouth
52 Reducing Area of Sub-tidal Shallow Water Habitat Excavate high areas and fill low areas Deep excavation of selected subtidal areas for fill of other low areas Import fill material from other Delta sites Divert Marsh Creek and it sediment load into site Partition deepest subtidal areas Establish tule vegetation prior to tidal inundation Use control structures such as nekton gates to create muted or microtidal wetlands
53 Prevent Erosion of Interior Levee Bank - Stability 09 MHHW 3 MLLW 0-3 leee Maintain integrity of interior levees by grading slope 5:1 or 10:1
