Implementation
Calculate the carbon sequestration values associated with acres of land located within the County that are preserved as part of the SSHCP. This information will be added to future updates to the Countywide GHG emissions inventory.
Timeframe: Long term
GHG Reduction Potential: Not quantified
Sector: Agriculture
Target Indicator: Publication of information in GHG inventory 2 years from CAP adoption, consistent with the implementation and monitoring strategy described in Section 4 of this CAP.
Status of Implementation
The South Sacramento Conservation Agency is a joint powers authority that oversees the implementation of the South Sacramento Habitat Conservation Plan (SSHCP) including the acquisition of land or easements to form the SSHCP preserve system; implementation of proposals for restoration of species habitat and aquatic resources; formation of management and monitoring plans to maintain the preserve system; and ensuring compliance with the conditions of the SSHCP and associated permits.
The County coordinates with the SSHCP JPA and will utilize information provided by the JPA to include estimated sequestration values for SSHCP preserves in the next County GHG Inventory which is scheduled to report on year 2024. The year 2021 County GHG inventory is available online.
