SUBJECT: WILDCAT CREEK SEDIMENT BASIN MAINTENANCE, NORTH
RICHMOND AREA
Project# 7527-6D8601
WHEREAS the Corps of Engineers has constructed flood control improvements on Wildcat
Creek that are multipurpose: flood control, environmental enhancement, and recreational;
and
WHEREAS one of the environmental features is the creation of a vegetation shaded low
flow channel to promote fish passage; and
WHEREAS the Corps of Engineers has expended considerable monies to install a fish
ladder in the concrete channel under the Southern Pacific Railroad tracks; and
WHEREAS the Corps of Engineers low flow fish passage channel constructed across the
sedimentation basin is obliterated by sedimentation deposits each time it rains; and
WHEREAS said low flow channel cannot reasonably be maintained functional; and
WHEREAS without a functional low flow channel across the sedimentation basin, the
millions of dollars spent on the project to include environmental enhancements and a
channel for fish passage will be for naught.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by this Board that the Corps of Engineers is
requested to redesign the sedimentation basin to provide a separate fish passage channel
through the sediment basin; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Board is reluctant to accept Contract 3A Wildcat
Creek for maintenance until the fish passage through the sediment basin issue is
successfully resolved.
