Animas-La Plata Project
The overall goal of Reclamation’s Wetland/Riparian Mitigation and Monitoring Plan has been to restore a naturally self-sustaining riparian ecosystem within the Mitigation Area (MA) that supports the best functional conditions that can be practicably established. This mitigation completion report describes success in meeting both the 95% development milestone for physical features of wetland/riparian mitigation that must be met before the Animas-La Plata (ALP) Project can begin operation as well as in meeting the full mitigation requirements for wetland/riparian and wildlife/upland vegetation mitigation for the ALP Project. Reclamation will now begin long-term management of the MA to assure resource benefits are protected.
