Peninsula Point Foredunes Habitat Enhancement and Foredunes Creation Project

The Peninsula Point Foredunes Habitat Enhancement and Foredunes Creation Project is an implementation initiative managed by the City of Newport Beach to bolster the beach dune habitat at the end of the Balboa Peninsula. The scope of work involves enhancing 1.7 acres of existing beach dune habitat and creating 0.34 acres of new vegetated beach dunes to establish connectivity within the existing dune system. Key activities include the removal of invasive vegetation and the subsequent replacement with native beach plant seeds. To foster future connectivity, the project will slightly enlarge the foredune areas at strategic locations, which will also be seeded with native species. The project will be performed in the beach foredune area extending from West Jetty View Park to West of L Street on the Balboa Peninsula in Newport Beach, California. This project has been filed under a Notice of Exemption for Minor Land Alterations, as the modifications are intended to restore native ecology. Ellis Petersen, an Associate Civil Engineer, serves as the primary point of contact for the lead agency. While the specific contract value and period of performance are not detailed in the available documentation, the project is categorized under NAICS code 561730.
