City Parcel Western Boundary and "Ephemeral Channel"

The EIR says:

“1/31/70: City area: The East Garden Grove - Wintersburg Channel has been constructed since the 1959 photo, with its alignment bisecting the original agricultural fields (still visible below the channel). The western portion of the site below the knoll is flooded, and the fields appear fallow, with a network of minor flow lines and depressions evident. The remnant marshland area is almost entirely within Orange County. A narrow area, approximately 25' x 250', between a farm road and the levee (which as cultivated in the 1959 photo) now exhibits patchy vegetation which may be pickleweed, although the areas has been permanently isolated from the larger marshlands of Bolsa Chica by the flood control channel. The Kenilworth tract and a portion of the off-site knoll top are now developed.

County area
: The 5 acre county parcel shows little evidence of activity or use. Most of the road system which formerly passed through the site was eliminated by construction of the East Garden Grove - Wintersburg Channel.”
