Still Need Answers – Agencies May Further Delay Bolsa Chica Project
Perhaps it only seems as if the decision-making process for a planned housing development in Huntington Beach’s Bolsa Chica area is taking almost as long as Nature herself took to fashion prehistoric wetlands on a portion of the acreage. Now the response of four agencies–all with vital interests in wetlands–to environmental reports prepared for the coastal development promises to extend the process even longer. Having so many agencies involved is cumbersome, but important because of the need for extra care in coastal development. And they have raised important questions that must be addressed before a project should be authorized on Bolsa Chica’s precious–although currently degraded–wetlands.
