Dear Readers,

San Francisco Bay is recognized around the world for its natural beauty and ecological significance. The bay and its tributary streams, situated in an urban area with more than seven million people, provide crucial fish and wild-life habitat at the heart of the larger Bay-Delta Estuary which drains almost half of California’s watersheds via the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers.

The bay’s users and nearby residents are all affected by threats to its ecological health, including legacy pollutants like PCBs and mercury, polluted stormwater, and the challenges of drought and climate change.

Over the past six years, EPA has partnered with organizations across the nine Bay Area counties through the San Francisco Bay Water Quality Improvement Fund, using more than $36 million in EPA funding to leverage $145 million in additional funds for 54 projects that are making a difference by restoring streams, wetlands, and water quality from the Napa River in the North Bay to the salt ponds in the South Bay.

In this report, you’ll find a summary of the grants, recipients, and results of our regional partnerships. We hope this assessment inspires you to pursue related projects in support of a healthy San Francisco Bay.

related challenges. The document is based on existing written materials including solicitations, grant applica-tions, work plans, progress reports and final reports. Additional information is included from ongoing discussions with grant applicants, recipients and other stakeholders.

Funding

The SFBWQIF budget is determined by congressio-nal appropriation each year. The program began in 2008 as a congressional budget item, and, as of 2010, the President’s Budget also included funding to support a SF Bay competitive grant program.

Once EPA Region 9 receives the annual allocation, the Agency announces funding opportunities through a “Request for Proposals” (RFP). The RFP review, evaluation, and funding decision process generally takes up to nine months. In 2008 through 2011, the match requirement for recipients was 25% with evaluation criteria to leverage additional resources. Beginning in 2012, the match requirement increased to 50%, or a one-to-one match, and the RFPs stopped including evaluation criteria for additional leveraged resources.

The San Francisco Bay Water Quality Improvement Fund (SFBWQIF) was established in 2008 by congres-sional appropriation. Since that time EPA has award-ed over $36 million in 29 grants to 16 recipients supporting 54 projects. These recipients represent a network of partners in the Bay Area committed to improving water quality with projects that restore wetlands and habitat complexity; reduce polluted runoff; control invasive species; design, construct and monitor Low-Impact Development (LID); and engage local governments. Each project is documenting its progress towards achieving environmental results and meeting water quality goals in San Francisco Bay.

Purpose

EPA is sharing this progress report as part of our continued effort to stimulate smart investments in protecting and restoring SF Bay and its watersheds. The primary purpose of this document is to high-light program investments and related environmental results (2008 - 2014), and to identify lessons learned. The report’s secondary purpose is to inform the larger community working to protect and restore SF Bay by providing information on developing and carrying outeffective projects, funding, project successes and

Partners

SFBWQIF partners include government agencies, resource conservation districts, land trusts, watershed groups, and non-profit organizations. These part-nerships have leveraged an additional $145 million, resulting in $182 million invested in restoring water quality and wetlands, and greening development in the San Francisco Bay and its watersheds (Figure 2).

Eligible grant applicants are local and state govern-ment agencies, and non-profit organizations proposing projects in the nine Bay Area counties: Marin, Napa, Sonoma, Solano, Contra Costa, Alameda, Santa Clara, San Mateo, and San Francisco. In some instances multiple organizations have formed partnerships and named a fiduciary to oversee the grant award. By partnering, recipients can combine resources to meet non-federal match requirements and complete projects that impact a larger portion of the SF Bay watershed. Many of the grant recipients are active in identifying and investing additional resources, or leveraging, even above and beyond required non-federal matching funds.

Funding Priorities & Project Types

The SFBWQIF priorities are to support projects that reduce polluted run-off, restore impaired waters, and enhance aquatic habitat. Since the inception of the SFBWQIF, emphasis has been on achieving significant on-the-ground environmental results. To maximize the likelihood of achieving significant results, funded activities are most often based on thorough assess-ments and plans, including watershed plans and Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs). While most funds support on-the-ground implementation, EPA has also supported projects undertaking thoughtful planning processes essential for future implementation to be successful.

Consistent with program priorities, projects are tracked in three categories: restoring wetlands, restoring water quality, and greening development. Of the 54 projects funded to date, 26 are wetland restoration; 22 are described as restoring water quality; and six are green-ing development (e.g. Low Impact Development). Figure 6 illustrates the funding distribution of the project types.

More than $180 million has been invested by the SFBWQIF and its partners to achieve environmental results aligned with US EPA’s Strategic Plan Goal 2, Protecting America’s Waters. Specifically, Objective 2.2 is to “Protect and Restore Watersheds and Aquatic Ecosystems. Protect, restore, and sustain the quality of rivers, lakes, streams, and wetlands on a watershed basis, and sustainably manage and protect coastal and ocean resources and ecosystems.” Specifically, the

SFBWQIF tracks progress toward two key EPA’s Strategic Measures – “Improve Water Quality on a Watershed Basis” and “Increase Wetlands.”

Funded projects also take anticipated climate change impacts into account, reflecting EPA’s Strategic Plan goal to “Address Climate Change: Minimize the threats posed by climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and taking actions that help to protect human health and help communities and ecosystems become more sustainable and resilient to the effects of climate change.” In addition, recipients are required to demonstrate how they will address one or more of the objectives and actions listed in the San Francisco Estuary Partnership’s Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan (CCMP). This stems from Clean Water Act Section 320, which gives EPA the authority to award SFBWQIF grants while aligning our goals with the CCMP.

Environmental Results

Achieving significant environmental results is the top priority of the program. To maximize the benefits of these public investments, applicants are asked to clear-ly define anticipated environmental results, also known as outcomes, to be achieved by the proposed project. The most successful proposals begin with desired outcomes and plan activities to best achieve those outcomes, thereby assuring a wise investment of public funds. Clearly defined outcomes based on technically sound plans (e.g. Watershed Plans, TMDLs, etc.) are most likely to achieve significant water quality results. All proposals are evaluated for

how well they describe the environmental results to be achieved.

One challenge of the program has been for applicants to identify short and long term environmental results for their projects, and moreover, quantify the antici-pated outcomes. To determine the success of the program to date, work plans for each of the 54 projects were evaluated. All work plans provided environmental results; 25 provided quantifiable outcomes and eight specified long and short term time frames. Workplans developed relatively recently generally include more quantifiable outcomes than those devel-oped at the program’s outset. This may be the result of EPA improving its communication with applicants to clarify the expected environmental results.

EPA recommends applicants use a Logic Model to conceptualize anticipated environmental outcomes. The Logic Model is a planning tool to help identify activities needed to achieve desired outcomes. The model is a thought process by which one starts with the “big picture” environmental results desired and then works backwards in time to list specific activities needed to achieve those results. This list can then be broken down further to show what is achieved in the short term and how it contributes to longer term objectives. While it is not always possible to measure significant environmental outcomes within the life of a typical grant, it is essential to show how an individual project or grant contributes to achieving long term objectives. Logic Model tables with outputs and

environmental results for each SFBWQIF project can be found in Appendix B.

Highlights of Environmental Results The majority of SFBWQIF projects are still in prog-ress so the environmental results will accrue during the coming years. The following are highlights of the expected results for each of the three project types.

Restoring WetlandsSan Francisco Bay is home to major wetlands resto-ration efforts. Since 1998, over 20,000 acres of wetlands are on their way to being restored. While this is significant, it is only the beginning of resto-ration efforts aimed at eventually reaching the resto-ration goal set by the Baylands Ecosystem Habitat Goals Report: to restore approximately 100,000 acres of tidal wetlands which represents only half of the tidal marsh extent prior to 1800. The SFBWQIF has invested almost $16 million in 26 projects to restore over 4,000 acres of wetlands around the Bay. Key expected environmental results include:

9

• Restore over 4,000 acres of tidal and seasonal wetlands around SF Bay• Restore or improve riparian and aquatic habitat in more than 12 creeks and streams around SF Bay• Remove an instream barrier on San Francisquito Creek to open up 40 miles of spawning habitat to steelhead in the upper watershed • Daylight over 1,050 feet of stream channel in San Francisco’s Presidio• Enhance ecological services and shoreline protection by restoring oyster and eelgrass habitat off the Hayward and San Rafael shorelines• Improve understanding of mercury uptake in restored tidal marshes and minimize mercury impacts in future tidal restorations in the South Bay Salt Ponds• Increase re-use of millions of cubic yards of dredged sediments for beneficial purposes, such as marsh restoration at the mouths of Walnut and Novato Creeks• Improve shoreline resilience to sea level rise and storm surges• Increase native plant distribution to benefit endangered species

Restoring Water Quality Water quality in the Bay and its watersheds is impaired by some of the most challenging pollutants including sediment, trash, mercury, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), nutrients, pesticides and pathogens. The SFBWQIF has invested over $15.8 million in 22 projects to help implement nine pollutant reduction action plans (known as total maximum daily loads, TMDLs). Key expected environmental results from SFBWQIF projects aimed at these impairments include:

• Stabilize eroding stream banks in Napa River and Sonoma Creek• Reduce sources of sediment to the Napa River by 51% by 2029 (Goal: 185,000 metric tons/year)• Remediate calcine-paved roads, removing an estimated 25 - 263 kg of mercury in the Guadalupe River watershed • Reduce annual loading of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) to the Bay by 2 - 8%; and increase awareness and understanding of fish contamina- tion issues and options for reducing human expo- sure to mercury and PCBs in fish

Greening Development There is growing recognition that green development practices, such as Low Impact Development (LID) which uses natural hydrologic processes to treat polluted runoff, should become common practice. To encourage widespread adoption of LID stormwater treatments, the SFBWQIF awarded $2.95 million to local governments to implement six proj-ects throughout the Bay Area. Projects range from small one-block pilots to large-scale multi-block efforts. The projects also assist communities to develop policies and technical expertise necessary to continue to support and encourage green develop-ment practices. Key expected environmental results from SFBWQIF projects aimed at these issues in-clude:

• Reduce stormwater volume and pollutant load as a result of LID elements on Newcomb Avenue in San Francisco by replacing over 20,000 ft.² of pavement with tree plantings, native plants, and permeable pavers• Reduce stormwater flows to the San Francisco combined sewer system by 500,000 gallons per year using LID to retrofit a one-mile segment of Cesar Chavez Street• Treat approximately 7 acres of runoff with green stormwater treatment facilities in the seven adjacent cities along San Pablo Ave., reducing conven- tional stormwater pollutants by 40 - 80% (e.g., metals, PCBs, and PAHs)• Adopt a green infrastructure ordinance or policy in at least one municipality participating in the San Pablo Ave. Green Stormwater Spine project• Identify public lands suitable for retrofitting with stormwater BMPs in Alameda County• Employ green infrastructure to treat 5-7 acres to restore watershed functions and improve stormwater quality along Sonoma Creek

requirements for a competitive process, with possi-bly more outreach about the program to encourage new participants and partners, and support activities throughout the Bay Area.

EPA will do its best to support the many partners working to improve water quality and enhance aquatic ecosystems with the SFBWQIF grant program based on available funding. We will strive to advance prog-ress towards sustainability and protecting the Bay’s natural resources. Partnerships will continue to play a key role in bringing these projects to fruition, since demand for funding exceeds available SFBWQIF funds. The program will continue to maintain its focus on making smart investments to achieve sig-nificant water quality results, while looking to foster widespread use of proven technologies as well as innovative approaches.

Lessons Learned

There is a significant need for funding to assist the wide range of stakeholders who are doing ex-cellent work to protect and restore SF Bay and its watersheds. While the SFBWQIF cannot satisfy the demand, it does serve to support some priority needs and leverage a large amount of federal and non-federal funds. Aligning program priorities with scientific and community needs relies on continued agency and community interaction, along with contin-ued refinement of all program materials. Preparing proposals in response to RFPs is a significant work-load for applicants and organizational capacity to prepare competitive proposals varies. Applicants have demonstrated a strong ability to address EPA feed-back on proposals not selected for funding, evidenced by successful subsequent proposals for later RFPs.

The RFP has been revised each year after receiving feedback from applicants, and members of proposal review teams. Some changes have included clarifying language related to environmental outcomes, altered authorization language, and additional evaluation cri-teria related to climate change. In 2011, EPA began to utilize a two-step RFP process, relying on short initial proposals followed by submittal and review of a select number of full proposals. Notable additions in the 2014 RFP were inclusion of climate change considerations and pursuit of environmental results in geographic areas not represented in past awards. Future solicitations will remain consistent with

9) Cullinan Ranch Tidal Marsh Restoration Funding: SFBWQIF = $1,400,000, Non-federal match = $500,000, Leveraged = $12,375,327Schedule: September 2011 – March 2015Recipient: Ducks UnlimitedPartners: US Fish and Wildlife Service, CA Department of Fish and Wildlife

This project will restore 1549 acres of tidal wetlands in the San Pablo Bay National Wildlife Refuge. Cullinan Ranch was once part of an extensive network of tidal marshes in the North Bay. It was diked in the late 1800s for farming until USFWS acquired the property in 1991 and incorporated it into the San Pablo Bay National Wildlife Refuge. Subsequent restoration was delayed because of the need to protect Highway 37 from flooding associated with tidal reintroduction. Project elements include protecting existing infrastructure, and breaching and lowering levees to allow sedimentation processes to restore tidal marsh. Restoration will improve ecologic health, habitat connectivity and water quality of the lower Napa River and San Pablo Bay.

10) San Pablo Avenue Green Stormwater Spine ProjectFunding: SFBWQIF = $307,646, Non-federal match = $397,964, Leveraged = $1,800,000Schedule: September 2011 – January 2015Recipient: San Francisco Estuary Partnership/Association of Bay Area Governments Partners: Caltrans and the cities of Oakland, Emeryville, Berkeley, Albany, El Cerrito, Richmond, San Pablo

This project involves seven adjacent East Bay cities working with SFEP and Caltrans to design and install highly visible green infrastructure projects to reduce stormwater pollutants, creating a green stormwater spine along San Pablo Avenue, a state highway. Cumulatively the project will treat over 7 acres of impervious surface runoff using site-specific LID technologies such as bio-swales, rain gardens, and/or permeable pavements. Outreach to local governments via green streets forums and a model ordinance is intended to foster more widespread use of LID designs and promote more implementation of sustainable infrastructure.

11) Pesticide Reduction Campaign Funding: SFBWQIF = $250,000, Non-federal match = $83,334, Leveraged = $273,000 Schedule: September 2012 – October 2016Recipient: San Francisco Estuary Partnership/ABAGPartners: BASMAA, BACWA, BAPPG, San Jose, Alameda County, SCVURPPP, and other municipal stormwater and sewer districts
