Document Description
The California Department of Transportation is proposing to improve and preserve 14.0 acres of a 198-acre parcel for mitigation for current and future transportation projects that would impact wetland species and wetland habitat. Mitigation efforts would be centralized in one location. The Madera Pools Project would enhance and restore the current degraded wetland habitat, create new habitat, and preserve existing functioning habitat. The dimensions of the vernal pools include a maximum excavation of 16 inches with 1:20 side slopes. Careful consideration was given in selecting suitable development sites based on land use, landform, soils analyses, topography, hydrology, and adjacent habitat types. On-site improvements include removing fill and material from historic wetlands and excavating new wetland depressions. A pump and well mechanism would also be constructed on-site to supply water to the livestock during drought years.
