The Project was Phase I of the San Francisco South Bay Pond Restorations Project, which will ultimately restore 15,000 acres of former salt ponds to managed tidal wetlands. Phase I involved the restoration of 950 acres, with the goal of providing enhanced habitat for plant and wildlife species including the endangered Clapper Rail and Salt Marsh Harvest Mouse. The existing levees were constructed with dredged materials, underlain with Bay Mud, resulting in poor overall structural conditions.
Major Challenges The project involved working with endangered species restrictions and coordination with other contractors working simultaneously with the project site.
Project Scope
Execute dredging operations within a sensitive tidal creek.
