Derelict Fishing Gear Removal
A pilot project consisted of
developing protocols and conducting
initial removal efforts. After surveying,
locating, and mapping derelict fishing
gear, a minimum of 11 tons of lost and
abandoned fishing gear was removed by
licensed and certified divers.
Nuisance Dam Removal
Two small stone dams blocked fish
migration, and degraded water quality
and prey habitat conditions for
anadromous fish. The dams, while only
several feet high, also presented a public
safety hazard. This project resulted in
opening stream habitat to anadromous
fish, restoring acres of tidal wetlands,
and removal of a public safety hazard.
Riparian Habitat Restoration
Youth corps members were trained in
the use of biorestoration and
stabilization techniques to restore
eroding riverbanks and improve habitat
for salmon smolt and other fish species.
Diadromous Fish Habitat Restoration
Highly functional salmonid and
wildlife habitat was restored with the
cooperation of private landowners by
opening silted enclosures along a slough
to provide refuge for juvenile salmonids
during the winter flood flows.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, Los Angeles District
(Regulatory Division), in coordination
with the Port of Los Angeles, has
completed a Draft Environmental
Impact Statement/Environmental
Impact Report (EIS/EIR) for the San
Pedro Waterfront Project, encompassing
approximately 400 acres of land and
water primarily along the west side of
the Main Channel westward to Harbor
Boulevard from the Vincent Thomas
Bridge southward to Inner Cabrillo
Beach in the Port of Los Angeles. The
Port of Los Angeles requires
authorization pursuant to section 404 of
the Clean Water Act, section 10 of the
Rivers and Harbors Act, and section 103
of the Marine Protection, Research, and
Sanctuaries Act, to implement various
regulated activities in and over waters of
the U.S. associated with redeveloping
San Pedro Waterfront, which would
include the following elements:
Promenade, Harbors, and Open Space
Waterfront Promenade—Construct a
continuous promenade approximately
30 feet wide along the west side of the
Main Channel through the project area.
Three New Harbors (North Harbor,
Downtown Harbor, and 7th Street
Harbor)—Develop three new harbors
along the west side of the Main Channel
to provide berthing for visiting tall
ships, tugboats, and other vessels used
for recreational, commercial, and other
port-related purposes. This would
require excavation and dredging to
create the approximately 7 acres of new
surface water. Cleaner material would to
be disposed of at a designated ocean site
(LA–2/LA–3), and unsuitable material to
be disposed of at an approved upland
site. In-harbor sites would also be
considered if any become available.
7th Street Pier—The constructed 7th
Street Pier would be the public dock for
short-term berthing of visiting vessels
and would be located within the 7th
Street Harbor, adjacent to the Los
Angeles Maritime Museum.
Town Square—The Town Square
