SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This FEIS/

R has been prepared and is being

circulated in accordance with the

California Environmental Quality Act

(CEQA) and the National Environmental

Policy Act (NEPA). The Fish and

Wildlife Service and the Corps of

Engineers are NEPA co-lead agencies,

cooperating with six other State and

Federal agencies on implementation of

the proposed plan. This project involves

the proposal to implement a

comprehensive habitat restoration plan

with a public access component for an

approximately 1,300-acre area known as

the Bolsa Chica Lowlands. The project

site is in the western Orange County,

California, next to the City of

Huntington Beach, Pacific Coast

Highway and Bolsa Chica State Beach.

Major components of this planning

effort are: (1) Restoration of full tidal

influence through new inlet and bridge

construction and expansion of the

wetland’s tidal prism by dredging, (2)

creation and enhancement of aquatic

habitats and intertidal wetlands, (3)

creation of nesting and feeding areas for

threatened and endangered birds, (4)

preservation of nontidal wetlands, and

(5) phased removal of oil extraction

facilities from the wetlands area. It is

anticipated that tidal restoration would

be accomplished primarily by the Fish

and Wildlife Service and partners. The

Final EIS/R analyzes six project

alternatives including other inlet

locations and flood channel alignments.

The lead agencies indicate a preference

for the downcoast or southerly inlet

location and no flood channel

realignment.
