Current Status: Carmel Lagoon Final EIR
Environmental Status: Pending certification and approval of a Project in Public Hearing September 10, 2024
Project Description:

The FEIR proposes implementing three project components: 1) EPB, 2) SRPS, and 3) ISMP with the objective of implementing a solution to improve the functions and values of the ecosystem in and around the Lagoon by restoring the Lagoon’s historic hydrologic, pre-management conditions to the extent feasible to protect and improve habitat for fish and wildlife while maintaining flood protection.

The Board of Supervisors will consider approving the Environmentally Preferred Alternative Project titled SRPS and Sandbar Management Plan (No EPB) and further described in Alternative 5.3.3.2, with Alternative 5.3.2.5 component SRPS described in the EIR as the Mid-Slope Wall and consider recommending staff further explore a home elevation program described in Alternative 5.3.2.3.
