Riparian Ranch LLC

Riparian Ranch LLC is a self-certified small disadvantaged business registered with the U.S. federal government since August 2016. Structured as a partnership or limited liability partnership, the company specializes in providing environmental mitigation services, particularly in the form of habitat restoration credits. Riparian Ranch LLC primarily works with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to supply various types of habitat mitigation credits, including riparian, salmon, sturgeon, and giant garter snake habitats. These credits are used to compensate for environmental impacts resulting from infrastructure rehabilitation projects such as levee and dam work, ensuring compliance with the Clean Water Act and other environmental regulations.

Through its federal contract awards, Riparian Ranch LLC has consistently provided specialized environmental mitigation services. The company has been awarded multiple contracts by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Sacramento District for the purchase of habitat credits. These include a $604,000 contract for Lower San Joaquin River shaded riverine aquatic mitigation credits, a $1,035,000 contract for nine riparian habitat credits related to the Marysville Ring Levee project, and a $253,000 contract for chinook and steelhead salmon habitat restoration credits to mitigate impacts from emergency levee repairs along the Feather River. Additionally, Riparian Ranch LLC secured an $81,650 contract for salmon credits under the PL84-99 program. While some of these contracts were set aside for small businesses, others had no set-aside designation. The company's work primarily focuses on providing mitigation credits generated from approved mitigation banks within the Corps' Sacramento District service area, demonstrating its expertise in local ecosystem restoration and compliance with environmental regulations.
