Upper Newport Bay Ecosystem Restoration Project
Upper Newport Bay Ecosystem Restoration Project Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 1. Why is the project necessary? Upper Newport Bay is one of the last remaining coastal wetlands in southern California, and continues to play a significant role in providing critical habitat for a variety of migratory waterfowl, shorebirds and endangered species of birds and plants. Bay sedimentation has significantly increased in the last several decades due to rapid urbanization of the watershed. As a result, open water areas are disappearing in the bay, tidal circulation has diminished and shoaling is occurring within the Federal and local navigation channels and slips. Upstream efforts to control sediment inputs to the Upper Newport Bay Ecological Reserve and within-Bay dredging projects have not been completely effective. A primary objective of this project is to effect management of sediments deposited within the bay, with the objective of reducing the frequency of dredging projects while also enhancing habitat values within the upper bay and slowing the detrimental impacts of sediment accumulation on the fish and wildlife habitats. 2. What are the benefits of the project? The Upper Newport Bay restoration project will allow for a reduced frequency of maintenance dredging; improve or restore estuarine habitats; sustain a mix of open water, mudflat and marsh habitat; increase tidal circulation for water quality; reduce predator access to sensitive habitats; improve public use and recreational access; and improve educational opportunities. 3.

Initial Study with Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration/Environmental Assessment for the SR 55 Improvement Project Between I
Chapter 2 Affected Environment, Environmental Consequences, and Avoidance, Minimization, and/or Mitigation Measures PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT 2.8 Hydrology and Floodplains 2.8.1 Regulatory Setting EO 11988 (Floodplain Management) directs all federal agencies to refrain from conducting, supporting, or allowing actions in floodplains unless it is the only practicable alternative. The FHWA requirements for compliance are outlined in 23 CFR 650 Subpart A. To comply, the following must be analyzed: • The practicability of alternatives to any longitudinal encroachments • Risks of the action • Impacts on natural and beneficial floodplain values • Support of incompatible floodplain development • Measures to minimize floodplain impacts and to preserve/restore any beneficial floodplain values affected by the project The base floodplain is defined as “the area subject to flooding by the flood or tide having a one percent chance of being exceeded in any given year.” An encroachment is defined as “an action within the limits of the base floodplain.” 2.8.2 Affected Environment This section is based on the Location Hydraulic Study State Route 55 Improvement Project From Interstate 5 to State Route 91 (LHS) (April 2018), the Water Quality Technical Memorandum (November 2018), Stormwater Data Report (March 2019), and the Preliminary Drainage Report State Route 55 Widening Project (October 2018) prepared for the proposed project. 2.8.2.1 Regional Hydrology The proposed project is located within the Santa Ana River hydrologic unit and within two subhydrologic areas: the Lower Santa Ana River and San Diego Creek, both of which are part of the East Coastal Plain Hydrologic Sub-Area (801.11). In addition, the proposed project is located within three watersheds: the Lower Santa River Watershed, Santiago Creek Watershed, and San Diego Creek Watershed. -
NOTES TWO RECENT RECORDS of the CLAPPER RAIL from the BALLONA WETLANDS, LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA Daniel S
NOTES TWO RECENT RECORDS OF THE CLAPPER RAIL FROM THE BALLONA WETLANDS, LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA DANIEL S. COOPER, Cooper Ecological Monitoring, Inc., 5850 W. 3rd St., #167, Los Angeles, California 90036; [email protected] I report on two recent records of the Clapper Rail (Rallus longirostris) from the Ballona Wetlands at Playa del Rey in Los Angeles County, including the first well- documented report in in the county over 40 years, from a site where a population persisted into the 1950s. On 25 August 2008, two biological consultants (A. Gutierrez and R. Woodfield, with Merkel and Associates, San Diego) sampling fish in a tidal chan- nel at the Ballona Wetlands just south of Ballona Creek spotted a bird they suspected was a Clapper Rail. On 21 January 2010 Gutierrez wrote to me, “on August 25, 2008 a Light-footed Clapper Rail was observed foraging along the eastern waterline of a channel in the pickleweed of the Ballona Wetlands. The observation occurred at 11:30 A.M. on a clear day, with no wind, a temperature of 70 °F, and during a low tide of 3.2 ft mean lower low water. Although it was a low tide, the water level was fairly high due to the tide being subject to muting and lag from the presence of tide gates at the Ballona Wetland. The Clapper Rail walked the edge of the high waterline from south to north and then back to the south, weaving through the pickleweed. After approximately 5 minutes, the Clapper Rail flew to the west shore of the channel and proceeded out of sight into the dense pickleweed.” Fortunately, (using a cell phone) Woodfield took a photograph (Figure 1) showing an unmistakable image of a Clapper Rail. -

3.4 Biological Resources
3.4 Biological Resources 3.4 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES 3.4.1 Introduction This section evaluates the potential for implementation of the Proposed Project to have impacts on biological resources, including sensitive plants, animals, and habitats. The Notice of Preparation (NOP) (Appendix A) identified the potential for impacts associated to candidate, sensitive, or special status species (as defined in Section 3.4.6 below), sensitive natural communities, jurisdictional waters of the United States, wildlife corridors or other significant migratory pathway, and a potential to conflict with local policies and ordinances protecting biological resources. Data used to prepare this section were taken from the Orange County General Plan, the City of Lake Forest General Plan, Lake Forest Municipal Code, field observations, and other sources, referenced within this section, for background information. Full bibliographic references are noted in Section 3.4.12 (References). No comments with respect to biological resources were received during the NOP comment period. The Proposed Project includes a General Plan Amendment (GPA) and zone change for development of Sites 1 to 6 and creation of public facilities overlay on Site 7. 3.4.2 Environmental Setting Regional Characteristics The City of Lake Forest, with a population of approximately 77,700 as of January 2004, is an area of 16.6 square miles located in the heart of South Orange County and Saddleback Valley, between the coastal floodplain and the Santa Ana Mountains (see Figure 2-1, Regional Location). The western portion of the City is near sea level, while the northeastern portion reaches elevations of up to 1,500 feet. -
