Alternative 2 – Land Conservation Sample Clauses

Alternative 2 – Land Conservation. (Preferred Alternative) Alternative 2 involves the acquisition of approximately 25 acres of xxxxx and upland properties along Xxxxxx Creek, a tributary of the Xxxxx River and ultimate transfer to the Xxxxx River National Wildlife Refuge in Prince Xxxxxx County, Virginia for long-term stewardship and conservation in perpetuity. This action is a Preferred Alternative because it meets all of the criteria identified by the Trustees for a restoration project to address the injuries caused by the releases. This Alternative is expected to increase habitat quality, promote habitat connectivity, create new public use opportunities, and benefit public natural resources within the Xxxxxx Creek watershed. Acquisition and conservation of wetlands along Xxxxxx Creek will protect significant forest and wetland habitat with at risk, rare, and/or endangered aquatic species, adding greater access for the public to river- based recreation. Habitat creation or preservation projects have been used in other NRDAR restoration actions to compensate for injuries of wildlife, fish and invertebrates (Xxxx et al. 2010, XxXxx and Xxxx 2003). Most freshwater fish depend on wetlands for spawning, and anadromous fish rely on them as nurseries for fry. Wetlands also provide essential ecosystem functions that technology has yet to rival such as flood mitigation (especially riverine wetlands), storm abatement, and nutrient and toxic material filtering. Wetlands are significant for global cycles of nitrogen, sulfur, methane, and carbon dioxide (Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxxxx 1993). Xxxxxx Creek watershed is categorized as Resource Protection Areas (RPAs) which are a component of the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area. RPAs consist of groupings of sensitive environmental features, which include tidal wetlands, certain non-tidal wetlands, tidal shores, and buffer areas. As defined by the Code of Virginia at 9VAC25-830-80, RPAs consist of “lands adjacent to water bodies with perennial flow that have an intrinsic water quality value due to the ecological and biological processes they perform or are sensitive to impacts which may result in significant degradation to the quality of state waters.” In their natural condition, these lands provide for the removal, reduction, or assimilation of sediments, nutrients and potentially harmful or toxic substances in runoff entering the bay and its tributaries, and minimize the adverse effects of human activities on State waters and aquatic resources.
