B. Mitigation and Monitoring Mitigation of the Heron Bay project was accomplished by construction of wetlands, tidal wetlands, and upland or high ground for wildlife habitat. In order to verify that the habitat is healthy and in order to identify maintenance requirements a monitoring report is prepared annually. For Fiscal Year 2011/12 a monitoring report will be prepared by a consultant and funded by the District. C. District Reserve Fund A Maintenance Reserve Fund is maintained by the District in the amount of $300,000 to fund capital improvements and unexpected or emergency repairs. There have not been any withdrawals from the reserve fund this past fiscal year and none are anticipated for the coming fiscal year. D. Capital Improvement Projects SSpartina The Spartina removal project is complete but spraying of herbicide will continue as a maintenance activity. For fiscal year 2011-12 spraying will be funded by the California Coastal Conservancy and performed by their contractor. The District's involvement will be limited to notifying the public, setting up signs, and directing foot traffic while the spraying is performed. Between fiscal year 2006-07 and fiscal year 2010-11 the District has expended $99,200 on this project of which $30,299 has been reimbursed by a grant managed by the California Coastal - Conservancy. An additional reimbursement of $68,900 has been requested and is expected by the end of June, 2011. Further expenditures will be minor and will be classified as maintenance activity; this project will not be listed in future annual reports. Levee Repair 2009/10 This project was initiated to repair non -emergency damage to the levees that occurred during the winter of 2005-06. The construction phase of the levee repair project is complete, final paperwork and invoicing for grant funds is still ongoing. The District has expended $100,000 toward this project which is expected to be reimbursed by a grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Note that this project is separate from the emergency levee repair project for which the District has already received reimbursement. Levee Maintenance 2014/15 The nature of the levees that protect the Heron Bay marshland is such that they require periodic maintenance; specifically, the heavy stone rip rap that prevents erosion shifts, settles, or washes away and needs to be replaced. This work is most efficiently done by an outside contractor in large quantities. In fiscal year 2009-10 the Heron Bay Levee Maintenance account was established. Provided that there are funds available, the District will contribute to the account each year.
