Mitigation Plans for Impacts Identified in the EIR
The EIR identifies approximately 1,300 acres of land in the Owens Valley that were adversely affected by LADWP water gathering. The EIR provides that these lands will be revegetated with plant species native to the valley. By June 1998, the Technical Group was to complete mitigation plans for the areas. Status: See "Owens Valley Revegetation Program" on page 18 of the Monitor for an update on this MOU project.
