watershed and to provide data that can be used to properly design water quality
improvement components of the Big Canyon Creek Restoration Project.
Sub - tasks:
1. Retain consultant;
2. Review testing history of AB 411 bacterial data from OC HCA at Big Canyon
where runoff enters UNB;
3. Prepare water quality sampling plan;
4. Conduct water quality sampling and analysis, including:
• Turbidity;
• Sediment Loading;
• Flow rates;
• Nutrients (primarily nitrogen and phosphorus)
• AB 411 Indicator Bacterial (Total Coliform, Fecal Coliform,
Enteroccoccus);
• Pesticides; and
• Heavy metals.
5. Prepare baseline water quality analysis and evaluation of Big Canyon
Restoration Area;
6. Characterize contaminants entering and /or present within Big Canyon
Restoration Area.

DISCUSSION:
Background: Newport Bay is Newport Beach's most treasured environmental asset.
From the ecological reserve and parkland in the Upper Bay to the boating, residential,
and visitor - serving uses in the Lower Bay, Newport Bay is home to six endangered
species, the nation's largest small craft harbor, tour and charter boat operations, more

than sixty different commercial ventures, rowing clubs, yacht races, millions of visitors •
annually, and more.
Upper Newport Bay - including its ecological reserve (administered by the California
Department of Fish and Game), its regional park (administered by the County of
Orange) and the access provided by Back Bay Drive (administered by the City) - is one
of California's more challenging resources to manage and protect. Several major and
complex Upper Bay projects involving a multitude of agencies are underway today,
including:
Upper Newport Bay Ecological Restoration Project. This US Army Corps of
Engineers -led (US ACE) study is the "Big Dredge" set for Fall 2004. The dredging
project will be about three times as large as the last dredging project, with up to
$13.5 million in funds coming from Proposition 12 (approved by the voters in March
2000) and another $20 million from the federal government. This $33.5 million
project is cost - shared 65 % -35% between the federal government and state /local
partners.
Newport Bay /San Diego Creek Watershed Feasibility Study. This US ACE -led Study
looks at ways to reduce sediment and nutrient deposits in the Upper Bay by keeping
the sediment at its source. The Study is identifying locations in the San Diego Creek
watershed that will catch sediment, treat runoff (in part via the IRWD's Natural
Treatment System or "NTS" project), and preserve and restore habitat. •
Sediment/Nutrient TMDL Compliance. To comply with recently- adopted total
maximum daily loads (TMDLs) that limit sediment and nutrients into the Bay, the City
helps fund ongoing monitoring and maintenance of upstream environments to meet
the TMDL's limits.
Even with these three major efforts, the Upper Bay still faces significant problems
relating to the region's heavy use of the Bay as a park, reserve, and local resource.
These problems include:
• Erosion of the City-, County-, and privately -owned slopes that abut the Bay;
• Infestation by non - native plants;
• Increased threats to endangered, threatened and species of concern;
• Continued serious loss of wetland, saltmarsh, mudflat and transitional habitats;
• Trespassing and vandalism in sensitive areas due to a lack of appropriate public
access; and
• Inputs of contaminated runoff from Bay - adjacent residential and business areas.
About CCI. Aware of these concerns, representatives of the Newport Bay Naturalists
and Friends discussed Upper Newport Bay's challenges with Community Conservancy
International (www.ccint.org). CCI describes itself as "a non- profit organization
dedicated to preserving natural lands and waters worldwide and implementing
conservation- compatible projects to protect local communities.." CCI recently •

• Big Canyon Creek• Restoration Project - Phase 11
February 10, 2004
Page 3
Is advocated and planned for two square miles of park and open space in the Baldwin Hills
(near Ballona Creek in southwestern Los Angeles). CCI succeeded in securing $36
million in state funding for the Baldwin Hills.
The Restoration Project. CCI has focused its attention on Big Canyon Creek, a
drainage that receives runoff from two square miles of primarily urbanized watershed,
the Big Canyon Country Club and adjacent residences, and that runs through the 58-
acre Big Canyon Nature Park, a City park.
•
The City Council approved planning funding for the Project - called the Big Canyon
Creek Restoration Project- on January 14, 2003. The Project addresses:
• A restoration plan for wetlands and wetlands - related habitats
• The needs of endangered and threatened species
• Unfiltered urban runoff and impacts on Bay water quality
• Drainage needs of golf course, City storm drains and bluffside homes
• Public access and connection to Big Canyon Nature Park
• Flood prevention
• Public agency needs and concerns
Big Canyon Creek Area
After receiving Council authorization to do so via Resolution 2002 -15 on January 22,
2002, Ms. Feldman and the City jointly applied to the State Coastal Conservancy, via its
• Southern California Wetlands Recovery Project (SCWRP), for a grant to complete
Phase I of the Project (Planning and Technical Studies). On October 31, 2002, the
• Big Canyon CregRestoration Project— Phase II
February 10, 2004
Page 4
SCWRP approved a grant of $167,000 for Phase I. The City matched the grant with
$110,000 from the Upper Newport Bay Restoration Account. Another $27,000 in in -kind
support came from the Newport Bay Naturalists and Friends and from CCI itself.
About the Upper Newport Bay Restoration Aocount. State law and other regulatory
agencies (including SB 576 [Johnson] and the National Marine Fisheries Service or
"NMFS ") direct the City to reserve a portion of the revenue it receives from the
residences at Beacon Bay as well as mitigation for Lower Bay dockwork for restoration
projects in the Bay. These funds go into an account called the Upper Newport Bay
Restoration Account. At the end of June 2002, there was $238,822.39 in this Account
(technically a designation of equity within the Tidelands Fund, #230 - 3755).
Phase I Work. CCI completed a majority of the Project's Phase I work in Fall 2003. The
culmination of the work included public meetings and a consensus by various resources
agencies that one identified alternative - called the Historic Tidal Wetlands Alternative -
is the project alternative that should provide the best habitat value for Big Canyon
Creek. A schematic of the Alternative is Attachment B. The City will receive a final
report from Phase I sometime in Spring 2004.
What's in Phase II. Phase II continues planning and design work for the Project with the
Historic Tidal Wetlands Alternative as the guiding use. Phase II includes a
comprehensive study of water quality concerns in Big Canyon Creek, including the
following specific tasks (further delineated in the proposed PSA Amendment):
Task 1: Project Administration
Task 2: CEQA Documentation and Permits
Task 3: Project Monitoring and Performance Plan /QAPP
Task 4: Conduct Water Quality Sampling and Analysis
Task 5: Hold Public Agency and Stakeholder Meetings
Task 6: Conduct Restoration and Site Design
Task 7: Prepare and Distribute Public Information
Task 8: Conduct Public Workshop
Task 9: Prepare draft and final reports
Funding. The State Water Resources Control Board awarded $200,000 to this
component of Phase II following the submission of a grant application and a competitive
statewide review of eligible grant- funded projects. CCI prepared the grant application
under the City's direction. The grant is contingent upon a City match of $30,000 for the
Phase, an amount that can be contributed in FY 2004 -05 using the Newport Bay •
Restoration Account or similar funding sources. CCI and the City have submitted other
489989.1
• Big Canyon Cree/c Restoration Project —Phase tt
February 10, 2004

components of Phase II to the State Coastal Conservancy and have lobbied the SCC for
its support of the components.
Construction. Construction might exceed $5 million. We intend to seek construction
funding from Propositions 12, 13, 40, or 50 as additional grant moneys become
available. Despite the State's current budget problems, we are optimistic that the
Project, once planned and approved, will successfully secure construction funding given
that funding from the above - mentioned propositions is unaffected by the State budget.
Environmental Review: Environmental review is not required for this Council action.
Public Notice: This agenda item requires standard Brown Act notice.
