The Los Cerritos Wetlands Authority will be hosting its third public meeting (virtually) to discuss its Southern Los Cerritos Wetlands Restoration Project and the related environmental analysis document, as required under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The meeting will be held via Zoom on Thursday, April 27th from 6:00 pm-7:30 pm. You can access the meeting by clicking this link. I urge you to attend to learn the latest news about the status of restoration planning within the Los Cerritos Wetlands Complex. The Southern Los Cerritos Wetlands Restoration Project involves the restoration of tidal wetlands on 103.5 acres of the Los Cerritos Wetlands located in Seal Beach, California. It will facilitate the restoration of a range of wetland types extending from subtidal habitat to upland transition habitat. The restoration design considers factors such as historical ecology, natural ecosystem processes, tribal cultural resources, public access, resiliency to sea level rise, and current biotic and abiotic conditions of the site. This public meeting will include a presentation of the restoration design and a discussion of the CEQA Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND). The LCWA and members of the consultant team will also provide a brief summary of their prior public meetings and share information about the next steps in the process. There will be several opportunities throughout the meeting to ask questions. Additionally, the LCWA is releasing an IS/MND analyzing the project’s potential impacts. The IS/MND are available for a 30-day public comment period beginning April 10, 2023, and ending May 10, 2023. Don’t forget to tune in on Thursday, April 27th at 6:00 PM to learn more. |
