Pond A4 Resilient Habitat Restoration Project

The Pond A4 Resilient Habitat Restoration Project aims to improve shallow-water foraging areas for migratory shorebirds along the southern shoreline of Pond A4 in California by using sediment and soil collected from local streams and nearby sources to build a 400-foot-wide habitat bench. This effort will enhance ecosystem resilience by restoring natural shorebird feeding grounds through beneficial reuse of available materials, reducing environmental waste while promoting biodiversity. The project is led by the Regional Water Quality Control Board, Region 2 - San Francisco Bay, Oakland, with Agnes Farres, Senior Environmental Scientist, serving as the primary point of contact for inquiries and coordination. The initiative was posted on September 30, 2025, as a forecast, indicating upcoming procurement activities, though no solicitation number or set-aside details are currently available. While specific funding or contracting mechanisms have not yet been finalized, the location of performance is clearly identified as California, underscoring the regional focus of the ecological restoration. The project reflects a targeted environmental management strategy to support migratory bird populations through habitat reconstruction, aligning with broader water quality and wildlife conservation goals under the oversight of the California water board.
