Intent To Prepare a Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement/ 

Environmental Impact Report (DEIS/ 

EIR) for the Aliso Creek, Orange 

County, CA 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers, DOD. 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: The purpose of the study is to 

evaluate an approximately 7-mile reach 

of the Aliso Creek and 1,000 feet of the 

Wood Canyon tributary to Aliso Creek 

located in Orange County in the Cities 

of Laguna Beach, Laguna Nigel, and 

Aliso Viejo, CA and unincorporated 

Orange County. Much of the 7-mile 

reach is located within the Aliso and 

Wood Canyons Wilderness Park, which 

is owned and managed by Orange 

County. The focus of the project will be 

on watershed improvements to restore 

the creek’s dynamic function and 

habitat for endangered species by 

developing alternatives for ecosystem 

restoration for impacted reaches of the 

creek. The restoration project will focus 

on revitalization of the riparian 

vegetation community; establishment of 

an environmental corridor to benefit 

wildlife and sensitive species; creek 

stabilization, and addressing flood risk 

management. The 7-mile reach of Aliso 

Creek is located entirely within Orange 

County, CA. 

DATES: Provide comments by May 10, 

2009. 

ADDRESSES: Submit comments to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

1. Authorization. The proposed study 

is authorized by House Document No. 

838, 76th Congress 3rd Session, dated 

May 1954, which reads as follows: 

‘‘Resolved by the Committee on Public 

Works of the House of Representatives, 

United States, that the Board of Engineers for 

Rivers and Harbors is hereby requested to 

review the reports on (a) San Gabriel River 

and Tributaries, published as House 

Document No. 838, 76th Congress, 3rd 

Session; and (b) Santa Ana River and 

Tributaries, published as House Document 

No. 135, 81st Congress, 1st Session; and (c) 

the project authorized by the Flood Control 

Act of 1936 for the protection of the 

metropolitan area in Orange County, with a 

view toward determining the advisability of 

modification of the authorized projects in the 

interest of flood control and related 

purposes.’’ 

2. Background. Aliso Creek. While 

much of the Aliso Creek project area is 

within an Orange County wilderness 

park and within the Natural 

Communities Conservation Plan/Habitat 

Conservation Plan (NCCP/HCP) Nature 

Reserve of Orange County (NROC), the 

creek is in a highly urbanized area with 

a high population concentration. As 

such, Aliso Creek has numerous water 

resource issues related to both human 

actions and natural processes which 

have raised concerns about the longterm survival of the watershed 

ecosystem. Fundamental problems that 

have been identified include channel 

instability, degraded water quality, loss 

of fish and wildlife habitat, and flood 

damage. Since 1997, there has been a 

multi-jurisdictional effort to address 

problems within the Aliso Creek 

watershed. The Aliso Creek Watershed 

Management Feasibility Study, 

sponsored by the U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers, Orange County, and 

municipalities and water districts 

within the Aliso Creek watershed 

boundary, was completed in July 1999. 

A wide range of technical studies have 

since been completed. Re-establishment 

of a healthy and sustainable watershed 

environment would serve to improve 

the environmental and economic 

conditions of the creek, including 

improving water quality, native habitat, 

and reducing flood damage. 

Alternatives to be considered are 

those that will further reduce 

degradation of the creek and the 

riparian ecosystem, improve ground and 

surface water quality, and reduce 

adverse water quality impacts from 

runoff. 

3. Scoping Process. a. A scoping 

meeting is scheduled for 7, May 2009, 

6:30pm to 8:30pm at Mission Viejo City 

Council Chamber, 200 Civic Center 

Mission Viejo, CA 92691, (949) 470– 

3000. 

For additional information on dates, 

times and locations please contact 

Deborah Lamb (see ADDRESSES), or at 

(213) 452–3798 or e-mail at: 

deborah.l.lamb@usace.army.mil. 

Potential impacts associated with the 

proposed action will be evaluated. 

Resource categories that will be 

analyzed include: Physical 

environment, geology, biological 

resources, air quality, water quality, 

recreational usage, aesthetics, cultural 

resources, transportation, noise, 

hazardous waste, socioeconomics, 

safety, and sustainability. 

b. Participation of affected Federal, 

state and local resource agencies, Native 

American groups and concerned interest 

groups/individuals is encouraged in the 

scoping process. Public participation 

will be especially important in defining 

the scope of analysis in the Draft EIS/ 

EIR, identifying significant 

environmental issues and impact 

analysis of the Draft EIS/EIR and 

providing useful information such as 

published and unpublished data, 

personal knowledge of relevant issues 

and recommending mitigation measures 

associated with the proposed action. 

c. Those interested in providing 

information or data relevant to the 

environmental or social impacts that 

should be included or considered in the 

environmental analysis can furnish this 

information by writing to the points of 

contact indicated above or by attending 

the public scoping meeting. A mailing 

list will also be established so pertinent 

data may be distributed to interested 

parties.
