Native habitat along the San Luis Rey River in will be preserved as a requirement of the railroad stabilization project underway on a coastal hillside at San Clemente. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has asked the Orange County Transportation Authority to purchase credit for half an acre in the San Luis Rey Mitigation Bank, an area of the river's floodplain being restored to its natural condition. Wildlands Inc. and the Wildlife Heritage Foundation bought about 60 acres for mitigation bank more than 10 years ago to create off-site credits for public and private projects required to compensate for construction on natural lands.
