Document Description
The City of Laguna (City) proposes to restore approximately 28 acres of open space along approximately 1.52 miles of Upper Sulphur Creek in the City of Laguna Niguel. The Upper Sulphur Creek Ecosystem Restoration Project (proposed project) would be divided into three sub-areas: Upper, Middle and Lower Reach. Project activities would include the removal and replacement of portions of the existing irrigated ornamental landscaping and all invasive weedy vegetation with a mosaic of vegetation communities native to the local environment. Up to 3,600 linear feet of concrete v-ditch in the Middle and Lower Reaches would be removed to create a wider soft-bottom channel. Floodplain terraces adjacent to the channel would be created to be inundated by water during winter storms of various intensities. Invasive and ornamental elimination and concrete removal activities would differ for each of the three reaches (upper, middle, and lower reach) within the project area.
