Brief Description: This report discusses scoping studies done to determine the feasibility of the Giacomini Wetland Restoration Project. Full Description: Point Reyes National Seashore (Seashore) is planning a wetlands project for the former Giacomini Ranch in Tomales Bay, California. The Giacomini Ranch is located in the north district of Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA), which is administered by the Seashore. The National Park Service (Park Service) acquired the Giacomini Ranch in February 2000 through a combination of Congressional appropriations and funding from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). The Park Service entered into an agreement with Caltrans and the California Coastal Commission that enabled Caltrans to transfer its mitigation obligations for 3.6 acres of wetlands to the Park Service in exchange for funding for acquisition and restoration. As part of the purchase agreement, the Giacomini family was granted a reservation use of agreement until 2007 on approximately 463 acres of the approximately 563-acre property. The remaining 100 acres are already under Park Service management. The Seashore and SLC conducted an initial public scoping in fall 2002/winter 2003 following issuance of the Notice of Intent and Notice of Preparation.
