Resumen

This Chapter of Division 2 of the Fish and Game Code of California, known as the Sacramento-San Joaquin Valley Wetlands Mitigation Bank Act of 1993, seeks to ensure that no net loss of wetland acreage or habitat values within the Sacramento-San Joaquin Valley occurs as a result of fill permit activities pursuant to Section 404 of the federal Clean Water Act. The goal is to increase the total wetlands acreage and values within the Sacramento-San Joaquin Valley. The Department of Fish and Wildlife, in cooperation with other agencies, shall adopt standards and criteria for the bank site qualification process, for the evaluation of wetland habitat acreage and values created at the bank sites, and for the operation and evaluation of bank sites, and any other Regulations that are necessary to implement this Chapter. The criteria shall require, at a minimum, that the newly created wetland provide the hydrologic, vegetative, and wildlife characteristics, including the food web components, of a naturally occurring wetland system that is equal to the site being mitigated. Private persons may apply to the Department for purpose of establishing a wetlands mitigation bank site. the Act also concerns discharge into wetlands.
