<strong>Environmental</strong> <strong>Impact</strong> Report/<br />

<strong>Environmental</strong> <strong>Impact</strong> <strong>Statement</strong><br />

State Clearinghouse #: 2007102037<br />

This <strong>Environmental</strong> <strong>Impact</strong> Report/<strong>Environmental</strong> <strong>Impact</strong> <strong>Statement</strong> (EIR/EIS) evaluates alternative approaches<br />

for the Sears Point Wetland and Watershed Restoration Project. In cooperation with California Department of<br />

Fish and Game (CDFG) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the <strong>Sonoma</strong> <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Trust</strong> (SLT) is<br />

seeking to restore tidal wetlands and rehabilitate diked wetlands and upland habitats for a wide range of species, to<br />

protect open space, and to develop public access and educational opportunities, including extending the San<br />

Francisco Bay Trail. This EIR/EIS provides a description of the alternatives being considered for the restoration of<br />

Sears Point, including the Proposed Project, and the No Action and Full Tidal Alternatives. The Project includes<br />

options for varying degrees of dredging and breach sizes, as well as Bay Trail alignments. This EIR/EIS will<br />

support decision making by the USFWS and DFG to approve the Proposed Project and to ensure compliance with<br />

the National <strong>Environmental</strong> Policy Act (NEPA), the California <strong>Environmental</strong> Quality Act (CEQA), and other<br />

pertinent laws and regulations.<br />

Federal, state, and local agencies and the public will have had an opportunity to comment on this<br />

document during a 45-day comment period from August 28, 2009 to October 132, 2009.<br />
