The 498-acre Sand Creek Conservation Bank in Tulare County consists of seasonal wetlands, vernal pool, and vernal swale habitat, as well as upland annual grassland habitat.
The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service approved the bank for impacts requiring vernal pool preservation, San Joaquin kit fox, and California tiger salamander mitigation. The California tiger salamander service area is based on the Southern San Joaquin California tiger salamander subpopulation. The San Joaquin kit fox service area includes the historic distribution within San Joaquin Valley east of Interstate 5 in portions of Fresno, Merced, Mariposa, Stanislaus, and Tulare counties.
