This project enacted plans to deepen sediment basins in the upper bay up to -20 ft below mean sea level by dredging channels to promote tidal circulation and limit predator access to sensitive areas, expanding mudflat habitat in several locations to compensate for mudflats lost to dredging, and creating wetlands and California Least Tern nesting … Continued
This project enhanced approximately 50 acres of existing freshwater marsh habitat on the San Joaquin Freshwater Marsh Reserve. The project was part of an effort to restore the natural gradient found historically at Southern California coastal wetlands. The project was designed to restore some of the site’s most important natural characteristics which have been significantly … Continued
This project completed final engineering and design work for the restoration plan for Big Canyon Creek, a tributary to Upper Newport Bay. The project addressed wetland habitat, water quality, drainage and hydrologic issues, storm drain problems, tidal wetland exchange needs, sedimentation, long-term system sustainability, and public access. The restoration plan also addressed drainage problems and … Continued

Once a thriving ecosystem that encompassed most of East Long Beach with borders that included portions of what is now California State University, Long Beach, the … Continued
This project completed a series of technical studies for the development of final projects to improve habitats and water quality within and around Machado Lake. This project is located at the Ken Malloy Harbor Regional Park in the Harbor City and Wilmington communities of Los Angeles. The park is approximately 290 acres and contains the … Continued
This project aimed to prepare a preliminary plan, environmental review document, and permits for creation of wetland and riparian habitat along approximately 1 mile of the east bank of the Los Angeles River. The project completed final design and engineering plans for wetland creation in the Market Street (also known as DeForest) and Dominguez Gap … Continued
This project prepared a plan to restore up to 20 acres of wetlands at the confluence of the San Gabriel River and Coyote Creek, adjacent to El Dorado Regional Park in Long Beach. A study was undertaken to determine the technological and biological feasibility of the restoration and treatment of wetlands and stream corridors in … Continued
This project prepared a Watershed Management Plan for Coyote Creek, a tributary to the San Gabriel River. The Coyote Creek Watershed Management Plan (Plan) provides a blueprint for improving the health of the watershed through multi-objective projects, policies and site design guidelines. This plan takes a more systematic approach by considering total watershed functioning for … Continued
