What are the plans for funding implementation, how much will implementation cost, and are there mitigation opportunities?
A. Currently, the Project Management Team plans for restoration to be funded by public agencies and foundations. Until long-term planning is complete, the exact cost will not be known. Based on other restoration projects in the Bay Area and depending on the level of construction work needed, the cost could range from the low hundreds of millions to the high hundreds of millions over many decades. Resource and regulatory agencies will decide whether or not some of the implementation funds will come from project sponsors seeking to mitigate impacts to habitats in other parts of the San Francisco Bay.
