A. G. Spanos - Spanos Park Mitigation Plan, Stockton Jones & Stokes Associates prepared a wetland and riparian restoration plan for the A. G. Spanos Park development north of Stockton. The purpose of the plan was to present a program for mitigating the impacts to wetlands that fall under the Corps'jurisdiction and to meet mitigation requirements under CEQA. The plan recommended utilization of setback levees to allow construction and enhancement of wetland and riparian habitat within the floodway of a previously channelized flood control structure along Bear Creek. The plan included design of approximately 25 acres of new wildlife habitat and provided specific recommendations on wetland and riparian restoration and enhancement, including recommendations on necessary site preparation; hydrologic and grade elevation changes; plant material selection, acquisition, and installation; irrigation; and long-term maintenance and monitoring. Grupe Development Company - Brookside Habitat Compensation Site Jones & Stokes Associates restoration ecologists and wildlife biologists facilitated a public participation workshop to design a mitigation wetland and riparian habitat on 50 acres of farmland in the north Delta. Jones & Stokes Associates staff will develop design criteria, plans, and specifications for the site of the new wetland habitat, sponsored by the Grupe Development Company as part of the Brookside subdivision project. Wildlife species of concern include the sandhill crane, black rail, giant garter snake, and waterbirds. The site will be graded to create a mosaic of habitat types and native vegetation in relation to various water levels. V-4
