Work Plan
Department of Water Resources - Urban Streams Restoration Grant Program
City of Cupertino
Planning and Design -
Produce plans and specifications for stream restoration and re-vegetation based on
engineering and modeling results. Submit plans and design specifications to the Department
of Water Resources for comment prior to finalizing them and amending the Agreement to
modify the construction budget. Survey and stake out project site prior to construction.
Site Preparation -
Install tree protection fencing, temporary silt fencing and dewatering diversion for in-situ
stream restoration work that includes removal of diversion dam and 1st low flow crossing.
Install tree protection fencing and temporary silt fencing in area of new channel construction.
Remove 20 trees (10 native and 10 non-native) necessary for construction of new stream
channel.
Stream Restoration - In situ pool and riffle extension
Extend 600 feet of pools and riffles from the diversion dam to 1 st low flow crossing. This
area of the stream, referred to as "Reach A", continues from the diversion dam (to be
demolished) to the first low flow crossing. In this section of creek, the diversion dam and first
low flow crossing will be removed and the existing pool and riffle habitat will be extended for
600 feet. A small creek access will be preserved (in the location of the first low flow crossing)
to facilitate environmental education programs. Sycamore-oak riparian forest plantings will be
installed along the banks to aid in stabilizing the creek banks. Spawning gravels will be added
to the riffle zones. The proposed work will occur within the existing channel. These
enhancements will provide higher quality habitat than currently available.
Stream Restoration - Realigned stream channel
Create an 850-foot creek meander with eight pools and riffles to replace 2nd and 3rd low flow
crossings. This area of the stream is referred to as "Reach B." Spawning gravels will be
added in the riffle zones and sycamore-oak riparian plantings will stabilize the banks. In
realigning the creek, the channel would be lengthened to allow the current elevation drop
created by the low flow crossings to be spread out over a longer linear distance. The channel
will also be widened to create both a lower and upper bankfull bench for planting. The
lengthened and widened channel will help to stabilize the new creek channel and diminish the
active erosion occurring in the current thalweg.
Riparian Habitat Re-Establishment for Both Stream Restoration Sites
Zone 1 Low Riparian/ Within Bank flow
Re-establish planting above and within the ordinary high water (OHW) line. This zone
occurs on the lower channel bars and waters' edge, lower bank, and lower bankfull benches.
A multitude of native plant species will be placed within 15 feet of the low-flow shoreline of the
creek to provide important in-stream shelter cover for fish while reducing stream temperatures
through shading of the creek:
Agreement No. P40-07
SAP Contract No. 4600004067
Exhibit B
Zone 2 Middle and High Terrace Riparian
This zone is classified as the upper bankfull bench, upper bank, top of bank, and inner
floodplain areas and will be planted with species that can tolerate periodic to infrequent
flooding, and are typically found on the upper creek banks, top of bank, and occasionally along
the low flow shoreline. All plants used for re-vegetation will be grown from locally derived
stock.
Former Channel Conversion and Creation of Backwater Wetland
Approximately 650 feet of the former channel will be filled to create a plug that directs flow to
the new channel. Approximately 200 feet of the former channel would be maintained as a
backwater wetland habitat where the new channel meets the former at its most downstream
junction. This area will create a seasonal backwater and will be planted with willows,
cottonwoods and sycamores.
Maintenance and Monitoring
Regular monitoring site visits will take place during first year of the plant establishment
period to ensure replacement of lost vegetation and/or irrigation. In all, eight monitoring site
visits and an annual monitoring report will be prepared in the first year. The following year two
monitoring site visits will be conducted and a second annual monitoring report will be prepared
for distribution to all funding and jurisdictional agencies. More details of the maintenance and
monitoring protocols will be submitted to the Department of Water Resources upon completion
of the design plans and prior to amending the budget.

STEVENS CREEK
MAINTENANCE AND MANAGEMENT PROTOCOLS
The project site lies entirely on public land. City employees are on-site daily. Informal
monitoring will be continuous and maintenance ongoing. There will be established
protocols for meeting CEQA mitigation and permit conditions for the revegetation,
channel reconfiguration and bioengineering components of the project. An
establishment period of three to five years will be necessary to ensure the health of the
riparian plantings and the removal of invasive species. The Project will also adhere to
the Santa Clara Valley Water District Bank Protection Monitoring Protocols that require
particular monitoring efforts be performed 1, 3 and 5 years after the installation. The
Water District is a funding and technical partner in this effort and will be conducting its
own monitoring.
Maintenance and monitoring efforts for the project will be planned as part of a
management process developed by the Fisheries and Aquatic Habitat Collaborative
Effort (FAHCE). The formation of the FAHCE is a result of a settlement between
environmental groups and the Santa Clara Valley Water District over the District's water
release practices and stream stewardship. The Santa Clara Valley Water District is now
bound by the settlement to ensure the success of this and other environmental
enhancement efforts along Stevens Creek. The FAHCE is a consortium of several local
agencies, and has provided comprehensive monitoring and management objectives for
Stevens Creek. The Stevens Creek Corridor project is the first demonstration project
the District is partnering to undertake, and the District will be working closely with an
"Adaptive Management Team" comprised of representatives of the Santa Clara Valley
Water District (District), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Marine Fisheries,
California Department of Fish and Game, Trout Unlimited, Pacific Coast Federation of
Fishermen Associations, and California Trout, Inc. These agencies and non-profit
organizations will review all reports and monitoring measures required by the FAHCE
agreement.
The Adaptive Management Team will review inter-annual and seasonal variation in
hydrologic conditions, limiting factors that affect achievement of the plan's objectives
and results compared to agreed-upon performance measures. The measures are
intended to assess multiple benefits including improvements to habitat for fish, wildlife
and plant species, and more generally the ecological condition of Stevens Creek.
