Recommendation
There is no staff recommendation associated with this item. The tour of completed restoration sites along Stevens Creek is for informational purposes only and no action is requested at this time.
Body
SUMMARY:
The tour will stop at two sites on Stevens Creek that have undergone restoration to improve fish and wildlife habitat. The first stop is at McClellan Ranch Preserve, a City of Cupertino park, where restoration was implemented by Valley Water’s Stream Maintenance Program (SMP) in 2018. This SMP effort enhanced salmonid habitat by installing three large woody debris structures, one gravel injection pile, and gravel in three riffles over 400 feet.
The second stop is at the City of Cupertino’s Blackberry Farm Park. This site includes geomorphic restoration spanning 2,100 feet of Stevens Creek and was completed in partnership with the City of Cupertino in 2013. The project involved the removal of fish barriers, installing a new clear span bridge, removal of concrete, channel realignment, channel widening, and the installation of habitat features (wood, boulders, gravels).
