An Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) is available for review for the proposed project located in the City of Los Angeles, in the Northridge Community at 8956 Vanalden Avenue, west of Golden State Freeway (Interstate 5). The 11.8-acres project site is located at the confluence of the concrete-lined Aliso and Limekiln Creek flood control channels, both owned and maintained by Los Angeles County Department of Public Works (LACDPW). The project consists of implementation of best management practices (BMPs) as part of water quality improvements including pretreatment devices; diversion and treatment of all dry weather and a portion of wet weather flows; construction of biofiltration basins; restoring vegetation, and subsurface irrigation. The project also provides open space and educational opportunities.
Although the initial study identified potentially significant noise and cultural resources impacts, mitigation measures were applied in those areas to reduce the impacts to levels less than significant.
The Mitigated Negative Declaration/Initial Study is available for review at the following locations:
- Northridge Library (9051 Darby Ave., Northridge, CA 91325 (818) 886-3640)
