| DESCRIPTION:THE PURPOSE OF THE PCBS TMDL SPECIAL STUDIES AND IMPLEMENTATION PROJECT IS TO SUPPORT PROTECTION AND RESTORATION OF THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY. THIS PROJECT WILL CONTINUE AND EXPAND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYLS (PCBS) TOTAL MAXIMUM DAILY LOAD (TMDL). PCBS AND OTHER SEDIMENT-BOUND POLLUTANTS ARE FOUND IN SAN FRANCISCO BAY WATER, SEDIMENTS, AND BIOTA. CONCENTRATIONS OF PCBS IN CERTAIN FISH EXCEED TARGET LEVELS AND MAY POSE A HEALTH RISK TO PEOPLE WHO CONSUME FISH CAUGHT IN THE BAY. AS A RESULT, THE CALIFORNIA OFFICE OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH HAZARD ASSESSMENT ISSUED AN ADVISORY ON THE CONSUMPTION OF FISH FROM THE BAY. OF PARTICULAR CONCERN WERE SUBSISTENCE FISHING COMMUNITIES, OFTEN IN UNDERSERVED AND MINORITY NEIGHBORHOODS, WHICH WERE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT WHEN THE BAY WAS DESIGNATED AS IMPAIRED ON THE CLEAN WATER ACT 303(D) LIST DUE TO PCBS. IN RESPONSE, THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD (WATER BOARD) FINALIZED A COMPREHENSIVE TMDL PROGRAM IN 2011 TO IDENTIFY AND CONTROL SOURCES OF PCBS IN THE BAY AND RESTORE WATER QUALITY. THE ANTICIPATED FUNDED ACTIVITIES OF THE PCBS TMDL STUDIES AND IMPLEMENTATION PROJECT WILL HELP REDUCE HARM TO THE BAY'S AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS, IMPROVE THE RECOVERY TIME OF THE BAY, AND IN DOING SO MAKE THE BAY FISHABLE FOR SUBSISTENCE POPULATIONS AND UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES.

| DESCRIPTION:THE CITY OF ALAMEDA GREEN STORMWATER BIORETENTION AREAS PROJECT WILL ADD NATURE-BASED BIORETENTION AREAS AT THREE INTERSECTIONS WITH ROUNDABOUTS AS PART OF THE CENTRAL AVENUE SAFETY IMPROVEMENT. THE INTERSECTIONS TO RECEIVE BIORETENTION AREAS ARE ADJACENT TO THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AND ARE ON THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY TRAIL AND ON AC TRANSIT BUS ROUTES. THE BIORETENTION AREAS WILL BE IN THE RED CURB ZONES OF INTERSECTIONS AND IN THE CENTER CIRCLES OF THE THREE ROUNDABOUTS. THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO CONSTRUCT SUSTAINABLE SYSTEMS THAT SLOW STORMWATER RUNOFF BY DISPERSING IT TO VEGETATED AREAS, PROMOTE INFILTRATION AND EVAPOTRANSPIRATION, AND CLEAN STORMWATER RUNOFF INTO THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY IN THAT DISCHARGE OF POLLUTANTS TO THE STORM DRAIN SYSTEM IS THE LEADING SOURCE OF WATER POLLUTION TO THESE WATER BODIES. BIORETENTION AREAS HAVE OTHER CO-BENEFITS INCLUDING FLOOD REDUCTION, MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS AND ENHANCED STREETSCAPES PROMOTING BAY FRIENDLY LANDSCAPING WITH CALIFORNIA NATIVE, DROUGHT TOLERANT SPECIES.
