Laguna Creek Maintenance District No. 91-06

The Laguna Creek wetlands area was constructed in 1988.  On April 16, 1991, the City Council approved formation of the Laguna Creek Maintenance District.  The district provides funding for environmental monitoring and maintenance activities associated with the Laguna Creek Wetlands Mitigation Program.  The monitoring and maintenance work is required to comply with a Section 404 Permit (No. 9570) issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to the City of Sacramento.  The adopted monitoring program identified a five to eight year monitoring period, which has been completed along with the required remediation work.

The Laguna Creek wetlands maintenance area is located between Sheldon Road, Bruceville Road, and Franklin Boulevard.  This area includes the primary creek channel and adjacent wetlands, wetlands preserved to the south of the floodway, and adjacent turf areas.  The maintenance area also includes channel improvements and wetlands located west of Franklin Boulevard, which were constructed as part of the Laguna Creek Floodway project. The work that is intended to be funded by the annual maintenance district includes:

  • Monitoring, maintenance, repair of vernal pools, and other designated wetland areas, and preparation of annual report to Army Corps of Engineers.
  • Maintenance and repair of irrigation systems.
  • Maintenance and operation of planting basins, including fertilization, pruning, staking, turf and grassland mowing, disking fire breaks, litter control, and patrolling.
  • Maintenance of bikeways and landscaping adjacent to the wetlands area.
  • Unscheduled maintenance such as repair of damage due to vandalism, flood or fire, and temporary irrigation of vernal pools not wetted by natural events.
  • Public outreach, including design and development of interpretive signage, education workshops, nature walks, information for the kiosk (i.e. community information center), and for wetlands articles in the North Laguna Creek Neighborhood Association newspaper.
