Project Overview
The Estudillo Canal Reconstruction Project will rebuild the aging tide gate structure. A portion of the south levee will be modified to allow high stormwater flows during major storm events. Stormwater will be diverted into adjacent City of San Leandro ponds for temporary storage until that water can flow back into the canal. The completion of this District project, along with a City lead project at Neptune Drive, will enable the submission of a Letter of Map Revision to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to remove the community from a recently mapped 100-year floodplain.
