Document Description
The BBW Project will create, restore, and enhance habitats for sensitive wildlife species within an approximately 800-acre project area. It is
envisioned to be implemented in two phases. Phase I includes construction of access roads, protection and enhancement of the existing wetland,
and habitat expansion in an area encompassing approximately 564 acres. Phase II includes expansion of wetland habitat into an additional 236
acres as the Salton Sea shoreline continues to recede, and adaptive adjustment of features constructed during Phase I, as needed.
