The South San Francisco Bay Shoreline Study would provide flood protection to Alviso and the San Jose water pollution control plant via 15-foot levees and gently sloping terrain, restore Bay wetlands on about 3,000 acres of former salt ponds, and create public trails. It is a partnership of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the State Coastal Conservancy and the Santa Clara Valley Water District, with landowning partners the US Fish and Wildlife Service and the City of San José.
