Document Description
The project consists of a 9,460 acre salinity reduction and habitat restoration on the Napa River Unit of the Napa-Sonoma Marshes State Wildlife Area (NSMWA) in Napa, Sonoma, and Solano counties. The project will restore approximately 9,000 acres of former salt ponds to tidal habitat by breaching levees and using several engineering and construction techniques as well as enhanced management to create over 10,000 acres of marsh habitat. Potentially, a recycled water pipeline may be built to enhance pond 7 and decrease salinity levels at a faster rate.
