Title

Hamilton Bend Mitigation Bank Project (PD-25-7)

Description

Westervelt Habitat Restoration, also known as Hamilton Bend (PD-25-7), has prepared an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for a General Plan Amendment and Rezone to change the land use designation of approximately 226 acre property from River Frontage (R-F) and Exclusive Agriculture (E-A) to Resource Management (R-M). The project involves the creation of 205.08 acres of compensatory mitigation habitat credits that will restore and preserve riverine and floodplain riparian habitats, including habitat for salmonids, green sturgeon, and Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beetle (VELB). Specifically, the proposed project includes a 60-acre VELB habitat planting area (which includes 39 acres that would be planted and preserved and 21 acres that would be preserved), a 107-acre riverine riparian planting area, and a 36-acre floodplain riparian planting area within the project site. Restored habitat on the project site would be protected and maintained in perpetuity. The project is located at 4075 River Road in Colusa County, approximately 3.5 miles north of the City of Colusa (APNs 012-270-043 & -058, and 015-030-001). It is located west of River Road and is bound by the Sacramento River to the west and south. The site is in Section 6 of Township 16 North, Range 1 West and Section 31 of Township 17 North, Range 1 West, Mount Diablo Base and Meridian, within the Moulton Weir U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute quadrangle.
