We Need A Public Hearing by the Army Corps of Engineers on Boat Central

This project has plenty of controversial impacts that have not been adequately addressed:

  • Disruption of public launch ramp adjacent to site
  • Structures over water and how it sets a precedent.
  • Analysis of alternative sites within the marina
  • Other recreational uses for this site
  • Reduction of views and pedestrian walkways
  • Protection of Native American cultural resources
  • Impacts to the culvert that runs between the marina and the La Ballona Wetlands
  • Water quality impacts due to boats (washing, run-off, etc.)
  • Shade/shadow/wind impacts on biological resources and boaters
  • Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area - roosting and nesting birds (noise levels)
  • Adherence to Coastal Zone Management Act goals and policies
  • Public access to shoreline
  • Cumulative demand for parking for coastal access
  • Adherence to NEPA, Public Law 780 and HD 389 goals and policies.
