It might be wise to consider a moratorium on any new building or project development within a specific parameter near the estuary until there is a clearly established plan on how American Canyon will react to seawater rise. Private landowners near the estuary should be notified that their property is at risk of groundwater inundation, as well as flooding, and that the city will be assessing risk and planning for this over the next few years. A warning to property owners that their property could be at risk would be prudent.
