Bufferlands

Description

Wastewater treatment plants need to be good neighbors to the local community. That's why in the 1970s Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District decided to purchase a property to develop a buffer between the treatment plant and its nearest neighbors. This 2,650-acre expanse of open space minimizes the potential for odor and other nuisances that could impact the surrounding neighborhoods. However, the Bufferlands provides much more than a nuisance buffer. This important nature area now provides hundreds of acres of high quality wildlife habitat, farmland and open space in a rapidly urbanizing area of California.
