Alameda
Creek
DeLorme Northern California
Originates in northeastern Santa Clara County and flows generally northwestward
through Sunol Regional
Wilderness, then west through Niles
Canyon, between Fremont and
Union City, and into
San Francisco Bay. A large portion
of its water is taken south of Sunol Wilderness through the
Alameda Diversion Tunnel into
Calaveras Reservoir and used by
the San Francisco Water Department. The creek below Niles Canyon was extensively
modified (widened, straightened, and enclosed between banks) by the US Army
Corps of Engineers, a job finished in 1972. An older channel of the creek
also remains, extending through Union City and out into the bay from
Alvarado Large rubber dams in the creek channel in
Fremont divert water into percolation ponds to refresh the groundwater supply.
See Alameda County Water District.

aircraft maintenance and repair as well as naval air supply. Main gate at
the north end of Main St in Alameda. In 1993, it was
ordered shut down as part of the government base-closure program. The Navy
was scheduled to begin turning property over to the city of Alameda in January
of 1997, but environmental problems have delayed the process. As of May 1998,
transfer of property is expected to begin in January 1999. Plans for civilian
use of the property are still being completed.

Apperson
Ridge
DeLorme Northern California
p.105 D-7.
Ridge north of Sunol Regional
Wilderness, tending northwest to southeast, southwest of
Indian Creek.
In 1968, Utah Construction & Mining Co obtained a 30-year lease on the
ridge and requested a zoning variance to allow quarrying of rock that would
bring the entire ridgetop down below the level of surrounding hills. In a
long public battle, the East Bay Regional Park
District managed to prevent the quarrying. Years later, Oliver De Silva
Co attempted to quarry the ridge. Unlike Utah, De Silva worked out a compromise
with EBRPD that limiting days and hours of quarry work, kept the work out
of sight and sound of visitors to Sunol Wilderness, left the ridgeline relatively
intact, and provided economic compensation to EBRPD was unavoidable ecological
damage, so the De Silva quarrying was approved in 1983. (See
Stein, A Vision Achieved, pp 71-75.)

"Arrowhead-shaped" marsh extending into San

Chabot. Access from shoreline entrance on Swan Way between Doolittle
Dr & Pardee Dr. There are a parking lot, restrooms, picnic facilities,
and elevated viewing structure at the end of the road. The marsh is a wildlife
sanctuary. From the water it can be approached closely only in canoes or
kayaks. From land, you can take a boardwalk a short distance from shore to
observe endangered California Clapper Rails and other wildlife. In 1998,
an area of landfill along San Leandro Creek toward Swan Way was restored
to saltwater marsh (see Erstwhile
