Current Activities

Greka has completed the rehabilitation of the unnamed tributary to Sisquoc Creek along Palmer Road.  Erosion control structures were installed through out the creek and area formerly occupied by the Upper Bell Pond.

Greka hired a landscaper and hydroseeded the creek and the area formerly occupied by the Upper Bell Pond.  The seed pallet consisted of native grasses and plants.  The seed pallet was approved by the California  Department of Fish and Game (DFG).  OSC Wise has issued a PRFA to DFG to oversee the rehabilitation of the creek.  

No further EPA action is required.  However, Greka will be required to maintain the hydroseeded areas until the vegetation has reestablished itself.  This will be overseen by DFG.  The PRFA will remain open for approximately 6 months.

The Order will be terminated.
