Santa Clara River Trail Plan Relevant Projects and Plans It is important for the SCRT Master Plan to build upon existing project and planning efforts affecting the short-term construction and long-term sustainability and vitality of the SCRT. Relevant plans include regional Santa Clara River conservation planning efforts, neighboring city and county bicycle plans, flood protection studies as well as several City of Oxnard specific plans. Santa Clara River Regional Plans Santa Clara River Enhancement and Management Plan The Santa Clara River Enhancement and Management Plan (SCREMP) began in 1991. It is directed by a Steering Committee of federal, state, and local public agencies, owners of property along the river corridor and local conservation organizations. In 1999 the Steering Committee approved a set of management recommendations to provide guidance for the preservation, enhancement, and sustainability of the physical, biological, and economic resources that occur within the Santa Clara River’s main stem. The SCREMP recognizes that the south side of the river features extensive levees, SBP, groins, and access roads necessary for flood control maintenance. These areas in Oxnard are not currently designed for pedestrian use. Collaboration with VCWPD and Los Angeles County Department of Public Works – Watershed Management Division (LACDPW-WMD) will be required. Riverwide Recommendation 3 from SCREMP states "Encourage local jurisdictions to develop Joint Agreements with VCWPD and LACDPW-WMD to allow joint use of flood control maintenance roads with hiking and biking opportunities, particularly on existing flood control levees on the south side of the river in the cities of Oxnard and Ventura." The SCRT Master Plan effort is in direct alignment with the recommendations of SCREMP. Santa Clara River Parkway In 2000, the California Coastal Conservancy (CCC) established the Santa Clara River Parkway Project. The vision of the Santa Clara River Parkway is the acquisition and restoration of a 25 mile-long corridor from the mouth of the Santa Clara River to the Sespe Creek confluence. The project has three goals: to restore hydrologic and geomorphic processes that create and maintain habitat for endangered and threatened species, to provide enhanced flood protection for adjacent private land and public facilities, and to facilitate public access and environmental education, including the creation of a continuous public trail system along the length of the Parkway. Planning and acquisition for the Parkway has begun. The Santa Clara River Parkway Floodplain Restoration Feasibility Study has been completed to assist the CCC with restoration and management strategies for 2,400 acres of acquired property within the lower Santa Clara River corridor. The CCC is in support of the City of Oxnard’s efforts to construct a trail along the Santa Clara River. City of Oxnard | 25
