Document Description
The County of Santa Barbara Agricultural Commissioner's Office proposes to apply herbicides to control the specific target weeds, Arundo donax and Tamarix ramosissma, along the riparian corridor of the Santa Ynez River. The invasion of tamarisk and arundo increase the risk of damageto homes and infrastructure from flood and fire and is contributing to decline of Santa Ynez River riparian habitat - a critical habitat relied upon by many wildlife species. This is a beneficial habitat restoration project that has potential less than significant, when mitigations are implemented, on aesthetics, biological resources, hazards, water quality, and noise.
