NCCP Implementation Agreement
After several years of negotiations, an Implementation Agreement was reached by the NCCP on July 17, 1996 for the Nature Reserve of Orange County. It was determined that the existing public open space was insufficient. Barham Ranch was one of the top 5 preferred sites the plan recommended to be incorporated into the Reserve System.
The agreement participates includes:
California Resources Agency
California Department of Fish and Game
California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection
California Department of Parks and Recreation
United States Fish and Wildlife Service
County of Orange
Cities within Orange County
San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor Agency
Foothill/Eastern Transportation Corridor Agency
Orange County Fire Authority
Orange County Flood Control District
Regents of the University of California
Santiago Water District
Irvine Ranch Water District
Metropolitan Water District of Southern California
Southern California Edison
Chandis Securities Company
The Irvine Company
All but one of the five properties have already been committed -- Barham Ranch.
Upon the acquisition of Barham Ranch, the mission of completing the Northern NCCP for current and future generations will be accomplished.
