Upper Las Virgenes Creek Ecosystem Enhancements for the Benefit of Special Status Species Project (Restoration Management Permit No. RMP-2026-0042-R5)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) issued this Restoration Management Permit (RMP) pursuant to section 1670 of the Fish and Game Code to the Environmental Restoration Group, LLC as represented by Debra Sharpton. The Project includes management or propagation activities intended to benefit native fish, wildlife, plants, or their habitat, or a combination thereof. The Project is expected to increase populations of California red-legged frog (Rana draytonii) and arroyo chub (Gila orcuttii) by removing the threat of predation by Louisiana red-swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii), an aquatic invasive species, and competition for food sources. In addition, terrestrial revegetation will provide greater nesting habitat for least Bell’s vireo (Vireo bellii pusillus). CDFW has determined that the Project is a Qualifying Restoration Project pursuant to section 1671(d)(1) of the Fish and Game Code, and the Project is expected to result in a substantial, cumulative benefit to native wildlife, plants, and their habitat. This notice is to advise that CDFW issued the above-described RMP on the date signed below.
