Grizzly Creek Ranch

PROJECTS

Grizzly Ranch, Portola, CA

This planned residential development has approximately 1042 acres of land with 16.06 acres of jurisdictional wetlands, designated open space, a golf course and commercial/service areas. The basic purpose of the proposed Grizzly Ranch project is to develop a single-family residential community with an integrated golf course development and the associated service-related facilities. Total WOUS/wetlands equal 16.06 acres of which 1.79 acres will be permanently impacted by the proposed project. 7Q10 conducted a thorough field survey to sample, categorize and verify wetland areas, which were then assessed to determine if they met the Corps definition of a wetland. Concurrent to the wetland delineation, a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan and Best Management Practices were developed for the site.

7Q10 was also responsible for all aspects of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) permitting package to include:

  1. wetland delineation and verification
  2. avoidance analysis
  3. 401 Water Quality Certification
  4. functional assessment
  5. Corps Letter of Permission and form 4345
  6. a detailed mitigation plan
