Objectives
                 Sediment Basin Mitgation Site
The  mitigation site incorporates a 12 acre sediment basin located within a canal that was reconfigured and revegetated to achieve a greater diversity of wildlfe cover, food sources, and nesting opportunities.

ELS completed the mitigation site construction in 1999 and continues to monitor the wetland  and provide maintenance on a yearly basis.

The biological function of the site has increased over time with significant increases in wildlife cover and nesting opportunities.
