Document Description
The proposed project is the preparation of the Master Development Plan Input, which is intended to provide the USACE with a vision for the future of the WNRA that has evolved from the coordination and collaboration of interested stakeholders. The Master Development Plan Input conceptually organizes the WNRA into six Planning Zones and one Conservation/Restoration Zone. The Conservation/Restoration Zone includes areas adjacent to the San Gabriel River, Rio Hondo, Lario Creek, and the spreading grounds. These areas would provide increased opportunities for habitat restoration and invasive plant removal, where appropriate, maintain existing recreational trails,and provide small "natural area" parks along the waterways in locations where they are compatible with existing trail infrastructure and biological resources.
