The Port of Long Beach created new berth facilities as part of their Middle Harbor Redevelopment Project. The construction required the installation of piles to support 2500 feet of new concrete wharf. MBC provided U.S. Fish & Wildlife qualified biologists to monitor potential fish mortality and the presence of marine mammals that may be harmed during construction. Monitoring included observations near the active piles being driven which would be stopped if fish mortality was observed, and marine mammal monitoring within a 100-meter safety zone for each pile drive sequence which would be stopped if a mammal was observed there.
The South Coast Water District proposed the Doheny Ocean Desalination Project to produce approximately 5 to 15 million gallons per day (mgd) of potable drinking water. The project would consist of a subsurface slant well intake system, raw (sea) water conveyance to the desalination facility site, a seawater desalination plant, brine disposal through an existing wastewater ocean outfall, solids handling facilities, and potable water delivery to adjacent distribution infrastructure.
