Document Description
The City of Rialto (City) is proposing to construct the Rialto Habitat Nature Center (RHNC) located on the southern portion of the Rialto WWTP. The proposed Project would provide an approximately 13-acre outdoor public space including an approximately 10-acre non-contact/non-water craft lake consisting of two connected lakes, one mile of pedestrian perimeter trails, passive recreation, environmental education programming, and public outreach. The proposed Project would temporarily store reclaimed water from the WWTP to create the lake prior to it being discharged back into Rialto Channel via the existing discharge outlet pipe. In addition, public parking for the proposed project would be constructed on an approximately 0.15-acre vacant site, identified as APN 805-36-185A, located on the north side of Agua Mansa Road and directly west of the Agua Mansa Road crossing of the Rialto Channel. The parking location is approximately a quarter of a mile to the south of the RHNC site in the City of Colton and within San Bernardino County right-of-way.
