TIJUANA ESTUARY TIDAL RESTORATION PROGRAM (TETRP) II PHASE I
The California Department of Parks and Recreation and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have initiated the scoping process for the preparation of the draft TETRP II Phase I environmental impact report/environmental impact statement. TETRP II Phase I would restore approximately 80 to 85 acres of salt marsh, mudflat, tidal channel, transitional/upland habitats on portions of both Border Field State Park and the Tijuana Slough National Wildlife Refuge.
The Notice of Intent and Notice of Preparation include additional project details. Furthermore, a Restoration Update and other project information is available here.
