LOS ANGELES--The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District and Orange County Water District will jointly host a public scoping meeting for a multi-faceted project to restore environmental resources and conserve water within Prado Basin and downstream of Prado Dam to be held at the Inland Empire Utilities Agency Events Center Wednesday, Nov. 28, from 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The IEUA Events Center is located at 6075 Kimball Ave., Chino, Calif.
This effort will focus on restoring aquatic, wetland and riparian habitats for native fish and wildlife species, conserving water and resolving issues related to the alteration of the natural sediment transport regime along the Santa Ana River.
Affected federal, state and local resource agencies, Native American groups and concerned interest groups/individuals are encouraged to participate in the scoping process. Public participation is critical in defining the scope of analysis in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Iimpact Report, identifying significant environmental issues and opportunities, providing useful information and recommending mitigation measures to offset potential impacts from proposed actions.
