Double Diamond Ranch, Reno, Nevada

This development consists of approximately 2288 total acres of aerial extent. Designations within this acreage include, approximately 1025 acres of residential, 160 acres of commercial, 648 acres of industrial, 38 acres of infrastructure and 418 acres of open spaces and parks. There are approximately 207 acres of Waters of the United States (WOUS)/wetlands on the Double Diamond Development.

The proposed project would potentially impact approximately 1.53 wetlands and 2.22 acres of riverine intermittent streambed will be filled, and approximately 10.14 acres of wetlands may be potentially impacted due to the filling of WOUS C. Impacts would be mitigated by the creation of approximately 3.70 acres of seasonal palustrine persistent emergent wetland, 2.88 acres of riverine intermittent habitat and the restoration of the hydrology to 10.14 acres of seasonal palustrine persistent emergent wetland, totaling approximately 16.72 acres. The restoration of hydrology to the 10.14 acres of seasonal palustrine persistent wetland will be done via the installation of slotted 2.00" diameter groundwater wells which will provide a direct connection between the wetlands and artesian groundwater. Additionally, various underground artesian water rights will be dedicated to existing wetlands on the site in order to insure continued viability. H&C, Inc. was responsible for preparing and obtaining approval of the permitting and mitigation plan.
