Document Description
The Proposed Project consists of 40 acres of land in the San Jacinto Mountains. The site is within a Conservation Area for peninsular bighorn sheep, as defined by the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan. The property has been an orchard in the past, and has been subjected to extensive illegal dumping. The main goal of this project is the removal of solid waste and potentially hazardous materials form the site and the restoration of the native habitat on the property. The illegally dumped materials on the property will be removed, and the site restored to its natural condition by qualified professionals.
