| Description | |||
| The areas encompassed within this Site-Specific plan includes all of the marshlands north of the San Francisco International Airport, up to the northern tip of the outlet of San Bruno Canal or Colma Creek. Within this area there are broad marshlands fringing the industrial fill of South San Francisco, channel bank marshland habitat, open mudflats, pickleweed and gumplant marshes, upland marsh edges, brackish creek channels and other tidal marsh systems. Much of this area is highly developed with light industrial, commercial, and business facilities, and a portion of the Bay Trail runs through the northern portion of the site. For the purposes of this plan, there are an estimated 100.3 acres of marshland within this Site. The Spartina infestations within this site are distributed throughout the habitat types described above. In sum, the marshes of this site contain 56.0 acres of non-native Spartina targeted for control, representing 56% of the surrounding marsh. This infestation is rapidly expanding onto the open mudflats on the western portion of this site, as well as constricting the channels on the northern and southern portions. Non-native Spartina has dominated most of the available marshland habitat, with only scattered populations of native tidal marsh plant species remaining in the area. The primary treatment method at this site is aquatic herbicide, which will be applied by conventional spray truck, backpack sprayer, amphibious tracked vehicle, and/or helicopter. Partners on this site include the San Mateo County Mosquito Abatement District, San Mateo Flood Control District, City of South San Francisco, and the San Mateo County Transit District (SamTrans). Note that this is a complex site composed of multiple sub-areas. Please refer to the Site Specific Plan for detailed descriptions of the sub-areas and the associated treatment methods. | |||
