District Prepares for Launch of Plunge Creek Conservation Project

Work will begin soon on the Plunge Creek Conservation Project and its accompanying Habitat Enhancement plan. With all local and federal permits secured, a contract has been awarded for initial construction work to begin upon completion of the Safe Harbor Agreement with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. The plan will remove and relocate sediment for enhanced water recharge capabilities, improve a wildlife corridor along Plunge Creek, and perform other habitat improvements such as reducing invasive plant species and creating a safe crossing for the San Bernardino Kangaroo Rat. The comprehensive Wash Plan HCP completion is planned for summer. Read More
