Scoping Comments Closed
The comment period has now closed for the scoping of the Los Angeles County Flood Control District's massive sediment removal and management program at Hahamongna. County staff is now reviewing the comments and proposed alternatives and expects to determine how to address them in the environmental impact report within the next six months. The development of the draft EIR is expected to take more than a year. We will keep you informed of developments, so check back here regularly or sign up for updates.
Emergency Measures Proceed
County crews
have now completed the emergency measures at Devil's Gate Dam.
Nearly 200 people joined Hahamongna Walkabout on Saturday, March 5th for a fun and informative trek about the Hahamongna basein. After a brief overview, participants stopped at learning stations that filled them in on the habitat, wildlife, bird, and water riches of the area.
Thanks to all the volunteers who made this event such a success.
NEWS FLASH: We Won! An EIR for Hahamongna!!!
The Los Angeles County Supervisors on Tuesday, March 1st approved a motion instructing the County Department of Public Works to conduct a full environmental impact report on the sediment management program at Devil's Gate Dam and Hahamongna in the Arroyo Seco.
This victory is the first step in ensuring that Hahamongna and its nature as well as the local neighborhoods are protected. A very important step in the right direction! We are sure that everyone, including the County, will come out winners from a better program that includes the evaluation of impacts and alternatives and fully involves the cities and stakeholders.
Congratulations to all involved.
