Site work for a development in Newport Beach, California. Design plans call for site work for a development.

California Department of Fish and Wildlife owns most (89%) of the Phase 3 portion of the Nature Park located adjacent to and east of Back Bay Drive, the City owns the remainder. The restoration will recreate an estuary in Big Canyon by removing bay spoils stockpiled in the canyon in the 1960 s; remove a large mosquito breeding area; remove selenium-laden soils; remove an infestation of the Polyphagous Shothole Borer; restore a 14-acre area with native vegetation to provide a pristine habitat for endangered or sensitive bird, fish, and plant species; and provide for coastal habitat adaptation to sea level rise. The restoration will significantly enhance the educational opportunities of this popular destination for school classes around the county.
