Title

Lomas Petaluma Subdivision / Petaluma Quarry Reclamation Plan Amendment

Description

As part of the development of a live/work neighborhood on an approximately 4-acre property used as a quarry since the early 1900's and as a barge landing for the import of quarried material from other areas, approximately 600 feet of frontage along the Petaluma River just upstream of the Highway 101 bridge will be restored. Old concrete rubble, rip-rap, quarry and barge unloading equipment, and several old piers will be removed; old piles will cut down to mud level; non-native vegetation and poison oak will be eradicated; the eroded river bank will be laid back at a 3:1 to 4:1 slope so that it is more stable and to allow restoration of salt marsh, as well as riparian habitat; and native wetland and riparian vegetation will be planted. One of the existing piers will be retained and improved as a recreational pier with a floating dock added. A 30-foot strip along the top-of-bank will be developed as a "river walk" consistent with the Petaluma River Access and Enhancement Plan. The California Department of Fish and Game is executing a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement Number 1600-2004-0835-3 pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to the project operator, South Petaluma Partners, LLC.
