Putah Creek Mitigation Bank

Putah Creek Mitigation Bank

The proposed project is to construct seasonal wetlands and playa pools, restore riparian habitat, and preserve upland habitat at the Putah Creek Mitigation Bank. The project site resides within a larger 433.7-acre property. A majority of the property, excluding the project site, includes upland areas, which was originally purchased by ASB Southport II to preserve Swainson's hawk foraging habitat as mitigation for a development project in West Sacramento. The approval of the conservation program for Swainson's hawk is expected to be approved under the authority of Yolo County's mitigation agreement with the California Department of Fish and Game. In addition to hawk habitat, the applicant proposes to restore and construct 72.2 acres of seasonal wetland habitat, and restore 1.97 acres of riparian habitat. Eight constructed wetlands, and sex upland mounds, are proposed. The Bank proposes to sell alkali playa pool/seasonal wetland mitigation credits.
