the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers. This estuary supports rich biodiversity,including many special-status species (CDFG, 2007).The eastern portions of Contra Costa and Solano counties meet the westernedge of the area commonly known as the Delta. This area has subsided and haselevations below sea level.The topography in the Bay Area region reaches to over 4,000 feet in the CoastalRange and falls to the low-lying areas along the coast and bay. In the west, thedominant vegetation is coniferous forest with a mix of hardwoods. To the east,shrubs and grasses begin to emerge (FRAP, 1998; FRAP, 2003).Regional Entities• Air Districts: Bay Area Air Quality Management District• Regional Organizations: Association of Bay Area Governments, MetropolitanTransportation Commission• Tribal Lands (U.S. EPA, 2011): Dry Creek, Stewarts PointSelected Infrastructure and Regional ResourcesTable 10.
