WCA has prepare a Draft Program Environmental Impact Report [DEIR] to inform stakeholders and decision makers of potential direct, indirect, and cumulative environmental effects that could result from implementing the Emerald Necklace Implementation Plan - Phase 1.

The WCA in partnership with the Angeles National Forest [ANF] San Gabriel Mountains National Monument invites you to comment on the scope and content of the environmental impact assessment that will be conducted for the San Gabriel River Confluence with Cattle Canyon Improvements Project. For more information and to review a description of the proposed action, visit the project webpage at www.wca.ca.gov/cattle_canyon. 

Under the laws known as the National Environmental Policy Act and the California Environmental Quality Act, ANF & WCA must prepare an Environmental Impact Statement / Environmental Impact Report [EIS/EIR] to inform stakeholders and decision makers of potential environmental impacts that could result from implementing the Project. ANF & WCA seek comments on: What environmental issues should be analyzed? Are there alternatives that should be evaluated that will meet the purpose and need for the project? What mitigation measures would help avoid or minimize any negative impacts?

Dates have been set for public meetings to discuss the content and scope of the Draft EIS/EIR. Meetings will be held:
