​​​FLOOD-12

Replant Bare or Disturbed Areas

Implementation

Replant bare or disturbed areas to reduce runoff, improve water uptake, and reduce erosion and sedimentation in streams.

Benefits: Vegetation acts as a natural buffer to protect water quality during flood events by filtering contaminants and reducing flows of sedimentation through soil stabilization. Replanting bare or disturbed areas would reduce flood-related water quality impacts in Sacramento County.

Timeframe: Near term​​


​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​In Progress

Efforts for the measure have begun and some target indicators have been achieved.
