Document Description
The project would restore 119.43 acres to freshwater marsh, wet meadow, and riparian forest habitats along a 3,200-foot-long reach of the Laguna. The site historically supported these habitat types prior to agricultural development. The restoration actions would consist of reestablishing the historic alignment of the Laguna, converting the existing engineered channel to a backwater, connecting two small east-west flowing tributary drainages to the new channel, and revegetation with native plants. The new channel and tributary connections would form a meandering stream configuration representative of the historic channel at the project site. The new channel and floodplain would be graded to inundate newly established wetland habitat types and to connect existing tributaries traversing the site. The project would also include an access path to allow for trash and debris removal.
