Document Description
Limited vegetation trimming at selected sites along the lagoon perimeter. Sites where overgrown vegetation is to be controlled include designated fishing access points, educational stations, access areas for CDFG enforcement and management needs, and small drainage areas. Trespass from unauthorized boaters is rapidly increasing and better access to increase enforcement capabilities is needed to protect resources. Management access needs include endangered species monitoring, resource assessment and to allow County Health Dept. access for vector control activities. Small drainage structures and flowage points must be maintained by herbicide treatment and thinning to reduce the risk of road flooding as a public safety measure. All vegetation maintenance will be conducted in a manner that will not conflict with Reserve rules or regulations or other regulatory requirements. Selected areas will be maintained with appropriate herbicides under approved State 880 permits. Biomass from trimming will be minimal and will be composted at an appropriate off site facility. No biological or cultural resource impacts will occur from this project.
