Milestone Reached for the Brannan-Andrus Levee Maintenance District!
We are thrilled to announce that Acorn Environmental has helped the Brannan Andrus Levee Maintenance District (BALMD) reach a major milestone in their ongoing mission to protect and enhance the Delta’s levee system within their area. BALMD has officially approved the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) prepared by Acorn for the Georgiana Slough Erosion Control and Habitat Enhancement Project!
What’s Next?
The project aims to tackle erosion issues causing undercutting along Georgiana Slough, remove invasive species, and create lush wetland benches. These enhancements will provide valuable habitat for native fish, birds, plants, and other wildlife. It’s not just about maintaining flood control levees; it’s about fostering a thriving, diverse ecosystem!
The approval of the IS/MND is a significant initial step towards bringing this vision to life. As the project forges ahead, Acorn will continue to assist the BALMD with meeting additional environmental and permitting requirements, including the preparation of documentation for compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers NEPA regulations.
Stay tuned for more updates as the project moves closer to construction and the BALMD makes strides toward a healthier, more vibrant Delta.
