Document Description
The Proposed Action is to implement the Point Conception Restoration Plan to reduce invasive plant species occurrence and cover, open niche space for native plant species, establish self-sustaining native habitat that is resistant to invasion, and meet the requirements of the Sikes Act, Endangered Species Act, and various Department of Defense Instructions and Executive Orders. SLD 30 would conduct routine maintenance of the site to prevent surrounding source populations of nonnative species from reinvading the site, and would construct buck and rail fence to prevent livestock from entering the restoration area. SLD 30 would monitor habitat restoration activities to determine restoration success as well as the effectiveness of environmental protection measures.
