Toad Hill Ranch Mitigation Bank
Working closely with the bank enabling agencies (USACE, USFWS and EPA), Placer County, and other permitting agencies, Wildlands completed environmental review and started construction within two months of Bank establishment. Construction was phased over two years and completed in 2011. Extensive monitoring of the Bank site indicates that the vernal pools and seasonal wetlands have met or exceeded the identified performance standards. The Bank was approved on May 25, 2010 to offer vernal pool creation, vernal pool preservation, seasonal wetland creation and Swainson’s hawk foraging habitat mitigation values.
