Vernal Pool Habitat Conservation Plan

MSCP is in the process of creating a Vernal Pool Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP). The plan is envisioned as a comprehensive planning approach to preserve vernal pool species and their habitat within the City’s jurisdiction. The HCP will create a new preserve boundary and updated conditions of coverage for San Diego and Riverside fairy shrimp, San Diego button celery, spreading navarretia, California orcutt grass, San Diego mesa mint and Otay mesa mint. Funding for the project has been provided through a grant by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service administered through the California Department of Fish and Game. The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) Service Bureau is providing consulting expertise in the creation of the document.

Vernal Pool HCP Public Workshop

The Vernal Pool HCP Public Workshop is an opportunity for the public to be informed on the HCP planning process as well as provide important input on locations and quality of vernal pool resources. See Links to March 15, 2012 Vernal Pool HCP Community Workshop.
