This day feels incredible to me. It's the culmination of years of work to restore the tidal marsh and open ponds for the first time in over 100 years, said Dave Halsing, manager of the South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project, at Bedwell Bayfront Park, a former landfill site overlooking the former Pond R4.
Wednesday's event marked the 20th anniversary of the restoration project, a landmark deal brokered by the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein that paid Minneapolis-based Cargill Salt $100 million for 15,100 acres of its salt ponds, which stretch from Hayward to San Jose to Redwood City, to state and federal agencies.
