Ana River, San Diego Creek, and San Juan Creek.
The six funded restoration projects totaled $4.7 million and included Aliso Creek, Chino Hills
State Park, Harriett Weider Regional Park, Lower Silverado Canyon, North Coal Canyon, and
West Loma.
In this quarter, staff continues to work with the Army Corps of Engineers, along with the Calif.
Department of Fish & Game and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, to achieve consensus on the
restoration plans. Once there is consensus on the restoration plans, Staff will proceed to
execute contracts with various project sponsors.
Acquisition Update
As of the quarter, OCTA has acquired approximately 950 acres of open space property in
the Trabuco Canyon area and in Brea. From the original
$42 million allocated for the purchase of open space, approximately
$8.5 million (inclusive of the long-term management cost) remains for additional acquisitions,
and the funds are expected to be allocated within the next several months. After updating
appraisals of the remaining Group 1 (high biological value) properties, staff will engage the
Environmental Oversight Committee in determining which properties should receive offers
using the remaining funds. Staff is currently finalizing an offer for an additional property,
which should be announced by the following quarter.
