| The
Upper Chiquita Reservoir is included in the South Orange
County Natural Community Conservation Plan allowing for
proactive management of habitat resources in the area. |
Thanks to careful planning, the Upper Chiquita Reservoir
is sensitive to the environment around the new facility.
The Upper Chiquita Reservoir site was chosen because placement
of the project in this location will result in no significant
view, air quality, traffic or noise impacts for the nearby
neighborhoods of Las Flores and Wagon Wheel. Additionally,
sensitive local habitat around the reservoir has already been
included in the South Orange County Natural Community Conservation
Plan, a holistic approach to local habitat conservation and
wildlife preservation that was prepared under the guidance
of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and the California
Department of Fish & Game.
