This <br />Treatment Wetland project is intended to remove nitrogen, phosphorus and other contaminants <br />from a portion of the WPCP discharge water. <br />In addition, this project will include enhancement of wetland habitat along the San Francisco Bay <br />Trail for educational opportunities, and demonstration of cost-effective contaminant removal/sea <br />level rise adaptation strategies via green infrastructure. The project involves a community-based, <br />multi-landowner planning effort to develop a larger-scale restoration and shoreline resiliency <br />vision along a heavily urbanized shoreline site. <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 10/2/2019 <br />179
