Title
Measure M2 Environmental Mitigation Program Update and Annual Report
Overview
Measure M2 includes a program to deliver comprehensive mitigation for the environmental impacts of 13 freeway projects in exchange for streamlined project approvals from the state and federal resources agencies. To date, the Environmental Mitigation Program has acquired conservation properties and provided funding for habitat restoration projects as part of the Natural Community Conservation Plan/Habitat Conservation Plan. On a parallel path, a similar approach was developed to obtain state and federal clean water permits to facilitate the implementation of the Measure M2 freeway projects. A summary of the first Annual Report for the Orange County Transportation Authority M2 Natural Community Conservation Plan/Habitat Conservation Plan covering all activities up to December 31, 2018, is provided. Additional Environmental Mitigation Program activities post 2018 are also provided in this report.
