Army Corps Of Engineer To Host Public Forum Malibu Creek Ecosystem Restoration Feasibility Study

MALIBU, CA -- The US Army Corps of Engineer will host a public hearing on the Malibu Creek Ecosystem Restoration Feasibility Study on Wednesday, March 1.

At the meeting, the public will be able to discuss the Draft Integrated Feasibility Report and Environmental Impact Report related to the study.

The hearing will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Las Virgenes Municipal Water District, 4232 Las Virgenes Road.

The Army said a major purpose of the study and the project is to re-establish habitat connectivity along Malibu Creek and its tributaries and restore migratory access to former upstream spawning areas for indigenous aquatic species, such as steelhead trout, by removing obstructions in the creek, including Rindge Dam.
