Although we have not given up and the Santa Clara Valley Water District is considering options, this basically means that there can be no further action on the project. Despite the overwhelming support for the project from the community, area residents, businesses and elected representatives our public servants at the governmental agencies determined the project would not be beneficial. It is hard to accept the decision in the face of the inconsistency in policy. We know the goal of many Governmental agencies and NGOs has been to restore the Slough. Especially in cases where the damage was man made restoration has been a priority. But when it comes San Jose and the Alviso area this apparently is not the case. Even though the South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project will be returning almost 15,000 acres to it natural state the 3 acres of the Slough will remain neglected. Twenty-Five Year Plan One reason given (off the record) for not needing the Alvso Slough Project to return the area to it's original condition is because the notch between A-8 and the Slough will eventually scour the channel making the need to manually dredge unnecessary. Of course this will take 25 years but to a detached observer that is an acceptable time frame. Since that is what we have to work with it is time for us to think about a 25 year plan. With no immediate ability to raise revenue we must take a close look at our expenses and determine the best expenditures to provide a sustainable ROI. We will begin discussing this quite a bit in the near future. Join the SBYC Phone in your order at (408) !
