RES, in partnership with Halo Ranch, LLC, is proud to announce the approval of the Halo Ranch Mitigation Bank by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board. Strategically located in the North Bay (San Pablo Bay region) of San Francisco Bay, this newly approved mitigation bank provides a critical solution for projects requiring mitigation for tidal wetlands, seasonal wetlands, non-perennial streams, and riparian habitat.
Additionally, Halo Ranch is positioned to advance regional watershed goals. The site is identified as a priority area for conservation and restoration, as outlined in the Petaluma River Baylands Strategy. Its location allows for key Bayland connections, making it an ideal setting for marsh migration and habitat linkages across upland, riparian, and tidal environments.
