Document Description
The proposed project is sponsored by the Ojai Valley Land Conservancy and involves the implementation of a Habitat Restoration and Flood Control Plan for the Ojai Meadows Preserve. The plan incorporates habitat restoration, wetland creation, and passive recreational opportunities on the approximately 57 acre project site. The project includes removal of a few manmade features including an earthen berm, existing sanitary sewer lines owned and operated by the Ojai Valley Sanitary District and an old building pad and driveway. The project would restore approximately 8 acres of wetland at the Ojai Meadows, improve several onsite drainages, create three vernal pools, and replicate habitats that were present on the site prior to 1929. The proposed modifications would require 21,000 cubic yards (cy) of cut, which would be balanced on site at fill.
