The Los Cerritos Wetlands Authority recently delayed a vote on whether to certify a final environmental study on a conceptual plan to restore those wetlands until next month, citing technical issues. That report, available to read at intoloscerritoswetlands.org , details what might happen to components of the surrounding Los Cerritos environment should a restoration program take place. Those components range from disturbance of cultural artifacts or human remains to habitat of endangered species. The study, known as an Environmental Impact Report, breaks down aspects of the conceptual restoration program into three areas: those with little or no impact, those where the impact that can be mitigated and those where the negative impacts that cannot be fully mitigated.
