Intent To Prepare a Programmatic Draft
Environmental Impact Statement/
Environmental Impact Report for the
Los Angeles River Ecosystem
Restoration Study, Los Angeles, CA
Department of the Army, U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, DoD.
ACTION: Notice of intent.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The study area is located
within the Los Angeles Basin on a broad
alluvial plain flanked by the Santa
Monica Mountains, to the west, and by
the San Gabriel Mountains to the
northeast. The Los Angeles River flows
from the headwaters of Bell Creek and
Calabasas Creek in the San Fernando
Valley community of Canoga Park
southeast through the San Fernando
Valley some 35 miles to downtown Los
Angeles. From there it continues in a
southerly direction until it empties into
the Pacific Ocean at Long Beach. The
specific study area comprises the 32
miles of the River within the City of Los
Angeles that extends from Owensmouth
Avenue, in the upper reaches of
northwest San Fernando Valley, to the
border of the City of Vernon, at the
southern end of Downtown Los Angeles.
The study proposes to consider a range
of activities to restore riparian and
aquatic habitat, and related habitat
functions, in and adjacent to the Los
Angeles River. Compatible activities to
conserve cultural resources, and to
provide recreational and interpretive
amenities, will also be considered.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is
to identify a range of opportunities to
improve the general environment of the
Los Angeles River through ecosystem
restoration and related measures. The
study area includes several locations
where potential exists for restoring a
more natural riverine environment
along the Los Angeles River, while
maintaining and improving levels of
flood protection. Creation of treatment

wetlands in and around the river, to
treat effluent river flows and to restore
missing linkages of fragmented habitat,
would also be pursued. Restored areas
would provide natural riparian habitat
to support indigenous wildlife and
avifauna along a corridor transecting
most of the San Fernando Valley, and
extending into downtown Los Angeles.
Other purposes include provision of
public access to the river, identification
of incidental recreation space, and
delineation of trails. Site-specific
Environmental Impact StatementEnvironment Impact Reports (EIS/EIR)
would be prepared in the future to
evaluate and document individual
projects that may result from this study.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
1. Authorization. The proposed
feasibility study was authorized under
Congressional Resolution, which reads
as follows:
Senate Resolution, approved 25 June 1969,
reading in part: ‘‘Resolved by the Committee
on Public Works of the United States Senate,
that the Board of Engineers for Rivers and
Harbors, created under section 3 of the River
and Harbor Act, approved June 13, 1902, be,
and is hereby requested to review the report
of the Chief of Engineers on the Los Angeles
and San Gabriel Rivers and Ballona Creek,
California, published as House Document
Numbered 838, Seventy-sixth Congress, and
other pertinent reports, with a view to
determining whether any modifications
contained herein are advisable at the present
time, in the resources in the Los Angeles
County Drainage Area.’’
2. Background. The Los Angeles River
is subject to serious flooding and
experienced two major floods in the
1930’s that caused substantial loss of
life and substantial property damage.
During the late 1930’s, in response, the
Federal Government constructed the
concrete flood control channel in the
Los Angeles River. The City of Los
Angeles and other local agencies have
expressed interest and early support for
a feasibility study that would evaluate
the potential for restoration of
environmental resources on the Los
Angeles River.
3. Proposed Objectives. The proposed
objectives are as follows:
a. Restore a more natural riverine
environment along the river.
