The india basin shoreline park project improves the health of the environment and supports BAY access

The project will create bioretention basins that will maximize the capture of stormwater and trash and enhanced intertidal areas. IT will provide coastal protection during storm surges and increase biodiversity. Upland transition zones will buffer future sea level rise and allow for the continued existence of the intertidal habitats. Native, drought-tolerant tree plantings and installation of shade structures will reduce impacts of high heat days. In addition, the park's system of trails provides the public with direct access to the BAY via a gravel beach. Funding from this agreement would support construction site development activities. This agreement provides full federal funding in the amount of $3,768,558. Preaward costs are approved back to 06/01/2023.activities:to implement the SAN francisco estuary partnership comprehensive conservation and management plan (CCMP), as part of this grant the city and county of SAN francisco will accomplish the following activities: site development construction activities including earthwork and grading, shoreline contouring, construction of stormwater planters, and planting for stormwater planters, trees, and shoreline plantings. Subrecipient:no subawards are included in this assistance agreement.outcomes:anticipated deliverables include: earthwork and grading, shoreline contouring, construction of stormwater planters, and planting installations. Expected long-term outcomes include: improved overall wetlands ecology, increased biodiversity, and support for an interconnected habitat at india basin shoreline park. The intended beneficiaries of this project are the bayview/hunters point communities and the living resources of the SAN francisco BAY and its watersheds.
