<br />Resolution for California Habitat Conservation Fund <br />January 2, 2007 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />The McFadden Triangle has been identified as an opportunity site in the <br />Santa Ana River Vision Plan. The proposed project will provide additional <br />riparian habitat at a site adjacent to the Santa Ana River. The project <br />scope consists of installation of understory plantings such as bunch <br />grasses, wild rose, and additional trees, and improvements to the <br />existing irrigation system. <br /> <br />The Cienega de las Ranas Habitat Restoration Project at Thornton Park <br />consists of the re-creation of the historic ecological conditions of the <br />site. The project will enhance the freshwater marsh habitat, both <br />surrounding the lake and to the east of the lake, and connect the flood <br />control channel to the lake with a band of native wetland and riparian <br />habitat. To accomplish this, non-native exotic grasses will be removed, <br />and native plants, along with plant and wildlife interpretive signage <br />will be installed. <br /> <br />The Centennial peninsula Waterfowl Sanctuary Project at Centennial Park <br />consists of the re-creation of ecological conditions conducive to the <br />nesting of waterfowl currently at the site, which has the potential to <br />attract additional species. The proj ect includes automatic irrigation <br />system modifications and native planting. <br /> <br />F:ISCAL IMPACT <br /> <br />is no fiscal impact associated with this action. <br /> <br /> <br />-m <br /> <br />do Mouet <br />tive Director <br />Park , Recreation and <br />Community Services Agency <br /> <br />55A-2 <br />
