Document Description
This Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) evaluates the environmental effects of the proposed Pritchard Lake Restoration Project. In 2002, the Sacramento County Airport System (SCAS) was ordered by regulatory agencies to stop the unauthorized filling of a wetland known as Prichard Lake. Most of the unauthorized fill has since been removed. The proposed restoration project is intended to completely restore the Prichard Lake site and mitigate for this previous wetland fill. SCAS is working with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services to rectify issues related to this fill. SCAS proposes to enhance Prichard Lake beyond the habitat quality of its pre-filled condition and to create wetlands and uplands at an adjacent mitigation site. Although this project is expected to benefit a variety of wildlife, the project design is focused primarily on the habitat needs of the giant garter snake, a federally and state-listed species.
