How are the environment and wildlife being protected during construction?

The City has received permits for this project from seven different agencies at the federal, state, and regional levels. These permits and associated regulations provide the requirements for protecting wildlife and the environment during the project. The regulations address species such as the Ridgway’s rail, California black rail, and salt marsh harvest mouse; marine mammals and fish; vegetation and habitat on and around the work areas; bay water and associated wetlands. A biologist will be present to monitor temporary impacts to marsh habitat during earthen fill placement, wall installation, and restoration activities.
