Project Details
Title: Prospect Island Tidal Habitat Restoration Project
Tracking Number: CGB-ED-2024-021
Progress: COMPLETED
Site: https://www.spk.usace.army.mil/Missions/Civil-Works/Section-408-Permissions/Public-Notices/
Summary: The proposed action is to provide funding to Department of Water Resources (DWR) to restore tidal connectivity to Prospect Island through the series of activities described in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 2019 EA and subsequent FONSI. Reclamation funding of the DWR restoration action would create approximately 463 acres of tidal perennial aquatic habitat and 1,056 acres of tidal freshwater emergent wetland habitat. It would also provide wetland species with access to over nine miles of riparian and scrub-shrub vegetated levees within Prospect Island. Creating such habitats and habitat access will likely have a range of long-term ecosystem benefits, including enhancement of primary productivity and food availability for fisheries in the Delta; an increase in the quantity and quality of salmonid rearing habitat and habitat for other listed species; enhancement of water quality, recreation, and carbon sequestration in tidal marshes; promotion of habitat resiliency; and promotion of habitat conditions that support native species. Additional information on the project, including the USACOE FONSI, can be found on the USACOE webpage for public notices under year 2018.
