The City Council of the City of Newport Beach will consider an application for the construction of a confined aquatic disposal facility and dredging outside the Federal Channels in Lower Newport Harbor (Project). An environmental impact report (EIR) was prepared for the Project. Environmental Impact Report No. ER2021-001 includes Findings of Facts in Support of the EIR, and a Mitigation, Monitoring and Reporting Program.

Additionally, the Project will require a Standard Individual Permit, a Coastal Development Permit, a Clean Water Act Section 401 Water Quality Certification and a Surface Lease Agreement from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, California Coastal Commission, the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board and California State Lands, respectively. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Wednesday, April 14, 2021, the Harbor Commission of the City of Newport Beach reviewed the Project and, by a vote of 6-0 (1 abstention), recommended the City Council approve the Project and certify the EIR subject to the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program.
