Title

Implementation of Pond Management Plan

Description

The Project entails the repair and maintenance of ponds DR07 and DR08 on the La Honda Creek Open Space Preserve to improve habitat for California red-legged frog (CRLF) and other sensitive species in the area and to reduce the sediment load into the San Gregorio watershed. Activities include re-contouring the land to restore depths of existing ponds, repairing existing embankments and failing berms, improving bench areas and existing spillways, redirecting cattle access through the installation of fencing and alternate water sources such as water troughs, and removing invasive and non-native vegetation. Minor road improvements will also be conducted including minor re-grading, installation of water bars, rolling dips and vegetation buffers. Disturbed areas will be reseeded and native plant species and pasture grasses consistent with those in the surrounding area. The Department of Fish and Game (DFG) is executing a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement, Number 1600-2012-0030-R3, pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to the project Applicant, Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District as represented by Julie Andersen.
