Conservation Plans
The project is a collaboration of two non-profit organizations and Solano RCD to plan and potentially execute a plan to assess FSSD's facilities and lands around .
1. Native plant restoration to sequester carbon. Including through ice plant removal, tree planting, ephemeral channel habitat restoration, and lawn replacement;
2. Green stormwater infrastructure showcase in parking lots;
3. Maximizing on-site recycled water use and/or capture of roof runoff from buildings. With potential reuse opportunities to consider including flushing toilets, irrigation, and vehicle washing;
4. Freshwater wetland restoration in Final Effluent Holding Reservoirs;
5. Developing new spaces and trails
