Mission Canyon Stream Habitat Restoration Project – Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and Appendices
  • February 26, 2024

PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD EXTENDED

CDFW has completed a Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Mission Canyon Stream Habitat Restoration Project (associated appendices) (SCH No. 2024020190). The project site encompasses 7.24 acres within Mission Canyon along portions of Mission Creek, Santa Barbara County, California. The project involves, among other things, habitat restoration and remediation of resource impacts to native habitats, trees, sensitive plants, sensitive wildlife, and waters of Mission Creek and adjacent areas. The project includes removal of all recoverable sidecast material remaining on the project site at the time of construction as a result from unauthorized work conducted by Southern California Edison in December 2019. The project also includes restoration of stream flows, stabilization of the creek bank, repair of habitat features such as pools within the stream bed, remediation of impacts to trees and sensitive plants, berm stabilization, and restoration of impacted woodland/forest and chaparral habitats.
