Department of the Army

Intent To Prepare a Draft

Environmental Impact Statement/

Environmental Impact Report for a

Permit Application for Proposed

Activities at Playa Vista, Los Angeles

County, CA

AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,

Los Angeles District, DOD.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of

Engineers (Corps) is considering an

application for Section 404 and Section

10 permits to (1) conduct dredge and fill

activities to implement restoration of

the Ballona Salt Marsh and (2) construct

a marina or other saltwater boating

facility and an adjacent mixed use

(residential/commercial/visitor serving)

community (marina).

The primary Federal concern is the

dredging and discharging of materials

within waters of the United States,

including wetlands and potential

significant impacts on the human

environment. Therefore, in accordance

with the National Environmental Policy

Act (NEPA), the Corps is requiring the

preparation of an Environmental Impact

Statement (EIS) prior to consideration of

any permit action. The Corps may

ultimately make a determination to

permit or deny either or both items (1)

and (2) above, or permit or deny

modified versions of items (1) and (2)

above.

Pursuant to the California

Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the

City of Los Angeles will serve as Lead

Agency for the preparation of an

Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for

its consideration of development

approvals within its jurisdiction. The

County of Los Angeles will serve as a

Responsible Agency under CEQA and

will use the EIR for consideration of

project approvals within its jurisdiction.

The Corps and the City have agreed to

jointly prepare a Draft EIS/EIR in order

to optimize efficiency and avoid

duplication. The Draft EIS/EIR is

intended to be sufficient in scope to

address both the Federal and the state

and local requirements and

environmental issues concerning the

proposed activities and permit

approvals.

ADDRESSES: U.S. Army Engineer

District, Los Angeles, Regulatory

Branch, ATTN: File Number 95–0212–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Project Site

The proposed project is located near

Marina del Rey. The salt marsh

restoration activities are planned for a

portion of the project area known as

Area B which is located within the City

of Los Angeles. The marina

development is planned for an adjacent

portion of the project known as Area A

within an unincorporated portion of the

County of Los Angeles. The area

proposed for salt marsh restoration is

located in the remnant portions of the

once extensive Ballona Salt Marsh. The

proposed marina site is located within

an area containing extensive fill

resulting from previous Marina del Rey

and flood control construction projects.

Proposed Action

The project applicant, Maguire

Thomas Partners (MTP), proposes to

restore a 190 acre salt marsh system

within a substantially undeveloped area

containing approximately 154 acres of

existing degraded wetlands.

Establishment of this proposed salt

marsh system will include three actions:

(1) Enhancement of the western portion

of existing wetlands by reestablishing

tidal flows to a mid-tidal regime; (2)

restoration of the eastern portion of the

wetlands by reestablishing tidal flow to

a full tidal regime and (3) creation of

new wetlands from existing uplands.

The proposed project includes the

construction of culverts providing

access to tidal flows within the Ballona

Channel. The proposed project also

involves the widening of Culvert

Boulevard to meet regional

transportation demand.

It is further proposed that a water

oriented mixed use community be

constructed in Area A on 138.6 acres of

substantially undeveloped property

separated from the salt marsh

restoration project by the Ballona

Channel. This development would

include a 48 acre marina, 2,576

residential units, 450 hotel rooms,

125,000 square feet of office space,
