Document Description
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has executed Streambed Alteration Agreement No. EPIMS-LAN-35930-R5, pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to Jennifer Perry.
The Project consists of restoring one acre of the native Laurel Sumac Alliance plant community to its predisturbance state. The steps include controlling access, removing sources of on-site human disturbances, reducing/eliminating non-native plant species, and reseeding with native plant species as necessary. Appropriate signage will be placed at regular intervals around the perimeter of the site to inform the public that these areas are part of a revegetation effort, and that trespass is prohibited. Non native populations will be controlled, as needed, prior to revegetation. Then, revegetation of native habitats will occur after non-native species have been removed.
