The San Francisco Bay/ Delta model, built in 1957, was used as a scientific research tool from 1958-2000 and was operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to test the impact of proposed changes to the Bay and related waterways. The hydraulic model was used to simulate currents, tidal action, sediment movement and the mixing of fresh and salt water. Pollution salt water intrusion, barrier and fill studies were a few of the important research projects that have been undertaken at the Bay Model. The research department was closed in 2000, but the model continues to operate as a public education center. After the cache this is a facility that well deserves a visit. You might also notice the “Raccoon” or the “Grizzly”, two bay sweepers that have gathered the pile of flotsam from the Bay that is piled on the dock adjacent to the cache location. The camo relates to this pile
