EBMUD —
Pinole Creek supports the only documented, self-sustaining steelhead population in Contra Costa County, as well as a population of resident rainbow trout. Today, the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) announces it has successfully opened access to an additional 1.4 miles of Pinole Creek to migratory fish by removing the last remaining barrier to upstream spawning and rearing habitat.
