San Leandro Treatment Wetland: for Pollution Reduction, Habitat Enhancement, and <br />Shoreline Resiliency <br /> <br />The City of San Leandro Water Pollution Control <br />Plant has a unique opportunity: an underutilized <br />water storage basin right next to the San <br />Francisco Bay. While this might not sound like <br />much, in 2017, we realized this would be a <br />perfect place to install a Treatment Wetland – a <br />biologically based treatment process that <br />cleans contaminants normal plant process <br />can’t, provides wildlife habitat and helps protect <br />against rising sea levels. <br /> <br />In 2018, the San Francisco Bay Restoration <br />Authority awarded San Leandro a $540,000 <br />grant to pursue this vision in their first round of funding through the Measure AA grant program. <br />This enables the City to design and permit the conversion of this 4.3-acre our storage basin into <br />a multi-benefit treatment wetland. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />182
