In 2003, DFG acquired an additional 5,500 acres of former salt ponds for ELER as part of the 15,100-acre South Bay Salt Pond acquisition that was accomplished with $72 million from WCB, $8 million from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and $20 million from four private foundations. CDFG successfully breached the first levee at Eden Landing in April 2004 to create an extension of Mt. Eden Creek. The second breach restored North Creek, a side channel off Alameda Creek, with more breaches planned for the future.
