San Pablo Bay, NWR
Cullinan Ranch Unit Restoration Project
Draft Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report

Current Status:

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the California Department of Fish and Game are proposing a restoration plan for 1,500 acres of former hayfield farm land in the San Pablo Bay. This restoration project would combine tidal salt marsh habitat for endangered species, waterfowl, waterbirds, and fish, as well as public access features to increase accessibility to wildlife resource values in the San Pablo Bay, while minimizing project-induced flood impacts to Highway 37.

The public comment period will end on June 17, 2008. We will hold a public meeting to solicit comments on May 30, 2008, at the Mare Island Conference Center, 375 "G" Street, Mare Island, Vallejo, CA 94592, from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
