to the funding agencies. The two grant proposal projects are described as follows:
• The first grant proposal is a request for $400,000 from the Southern California
Wetlands Recovery Project for preparation of construction documents to stabilize
and restore upper Morning Canyon. If the proposal is successful, this project will
be placed on the Work Plan and be eligible for grant funding.
The second grant proposal is a request for $1.1 million from the Proposition 13
and CALFED Watershed Protection Programs for the Newport Coast Watershed
Program Assessment, Management, and Restoration. If the proposal is found
acceptable, full proposals will be requested in July 2003. A successful proposal
will be approved for funding in February 2004.

wetlands that may be gained through the project. Ask Art's opinion on what species may
be served by habitat restoration there. Review applicable reports and conduct additional
research to identify all existing ecological merits of the site, as well as potential wetland
and other habitat restoration issues. Includes potential phone interviews with local
biologists Peter Bowler, Ph.D., UCI, & Fred Roberts (possibly others). Document findings
in letter report.
Third party review of proposed engineering concept (report review only at this point) to:
1.) confirm that the proposed engineering concept represents the best solution from
ecological, aesthetic and fiscal perspectives, and 2.) offer potential conceptual
biotechnical alternatives if applicable. DVD will collaborate with Massoud Vatankhahi,
P.E., of ENV America, Irvine on a brief report.
