Habitat enhancement and restoration: floodplains.
- Allocates $21.5 million for floodplain conservation and habitat restoration in three California counties.
- Targets specific environmental challenges including uncontrolled flooding and groundwater depletion.
- Assigns the Wildlife Conservation Board to manage conservation projects and fund distribution.
Senator Hurtado's floodplain conservation measure directs $21.5 million to the Wildlife Conservation Board for habitat restoration and land acquisition across three California counties facing distinct environmental challenges. The funding, contingent on legislative appropriation, targets floodplains in Kern, Kings, and Tulare counties to address local flooding and groundwater depletion issues.
The bill designates the Wildlife Conservation Board, operating within the Department of Fish and Wildlife, to oversee the allocation of funds for floodplain acquisition and associated conservation projects. According to the bill's findings, these counties face unique circumstances related to uncontrolled flooding and groundwater depletion along various waterways, necessitating a targeted geographic approach rather than broader statewide measures.
