"The State of California, State Lands Commission (SLC), is reviewing a plan for a newocean entrance system as part of a multi-use project. This project involves both Stateand private property in the proposed development by the SLC, Signal Landmark, and others.The project, located in the Bolsa Chica area of the County of Orange, California, includesnavigational, commercial, recreational, and residential uses, along with major wetlandsrestoration. The County of Orange has approved a Land Use Plan (LUP), in 1985, as part ofthe Local Coastal Program for Bolsa Chica in accordance with the California Coastal Act of1976. This same LUP was certified by the California Coastal Commission (CCC) withconditions in 1986. Part of the LUP certification requirement to satisfy those conditionsincludes confirmation review of modeling studies of a navigable and a non-navigable oceanentrance at Bolsa Chica. To satisfy the CCC requirements for confirmation of the LUP, theSLC requested the US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES), through a

19. ABSTRACT (Continued).
Memorandum of Agreement executed 2 July 1987 to conduct engineering studies on thetechnical and environmental assessment of a navigable and a non-navigable ocean entrancesystem, as conditionally approved in the LUP. These services were provided to SLC by WESunder authority of Title III of the Intergovernmental Cooperation Act of 1968. As such,resultant study products are based on specific technical expertise only and should not beinferred to indicate support or nonsupport by the US Army Corps of Engineers for eitherproject involving a navigable or non-navigable ocean entrance or for t1. civiroiumentai oreconomic aspects of these or any other subsequent project.
The Lake Plan concept was developed and introduced for analysis by Signal Landmarkas a third alternative to the two alternatives in the LUP of the Local Coastal Program forBolsa Chica. The Lake Plan is a modification that incorporates features of both thenavigable ocean entrance concept with full marina complex (termed the PreferredAlternative by the County of Orange and the CCC) and the non-navigable ocean entranceconcept with reduced marina complex (termed the Secondary Alternative by the County ofOrange and the CCC). The Lake Plan provides for a non-navigable entrance channel at thesame location as the Preferred and Secondary Alternative, but with a marina reduced insize from that of the Preferred Alternative. The design of the wetlands enhancement willremain the same as for the Preferred Alternative.
Design details of the Lake Plan include a total water surface area of approximately112 acres encompassing the main channel, marina basins, lower reach of the East GardenGrove-Wintersburg Flood Control Channel, interior waterways adjacent to residential uses,and other secondary channels connecting the wetlands and ocean entrance. The design depthof the proposed entrance channel that connects the marina to the Pacific Ocean is -6 ftmean sea level (msl), while the depth of the proposed marina is -20 ft msl. The Lake Planalternative design contemplates an ocean entrance channel whose width should be only greatenough to support a 1,100-acre marsh area from a hydraulic standpoint. Optimization ofthe entrance channel design has not been performed, although two entrance channel widthshave been evaluated. These two entrance channel widths are designated Lake I (350-ft-wideentrance channel) and Lake 2 (200-ft-wide entrance channel). Additionally, thepossibility exists that the entrance channel may close by littoral material transport inthe surf zone. Hence, it is necessary to evaluate the effects of a closed entrance onhydrodynamics and water quality aspects. The Lake Plan alternative when the oceanentrance channel is closed has been designated Lake 3.
The development of either Lake 1 or Lake 2 new non-navigable entrance channel systemto Bolsa Chica, with associated marinas, full tidal, and muted tidal wetlands enhancement,is feasible from engineering, hydrodynamic, and water quality standpoints investigated bythis study. Any potential for scour resulting from high velocities near bridges or inOuter Bolsa Bay under the Lake 3 concept (where the proposed Lake 1 or Lake 2 entrancechannel at Bolsa Chica has closed) could be prevented by channel stabilization measuresinstalled as part of project construction. Since the entrance channel could be reopenedimmediately following closure by a storm, other related environmental elements such aswater age may not be adversely impacted. The Bolsa Bay complex will provide for multiplepublic and private uses with an emphasis on wildlife habitat enhancement, publicrecreation, coastal access, and water dependent residential development.

Section 2: Signal Landmark's Proposed Secondary Alternative
"The Lake Plan"
PART I: INTRODUCTION
Elements of the Lake Plan
1. The Lake Plan concept was developed and introduced for analysis by
Signal Landmark as a third alternative to the two alternatives in the Land Use
Plan (LUP) of the Local Coastal Program for Bolsa Chica approved by the County
of Orange (Orange County Environmental Management Agency 1985). The Lake Plan
is a modification which incorporates features of both the navigable ocean
entrance concept with full marina complex (termed the Preferred Alternative by
the County of Orange and the California Coastal Commission), and the non-
navigable ocean entrance concept with reduced marina complex (termed the
Secondary Alternative by the County of Orange and the California Coastal
Commission). The Lake Plan provides for a non-navigable entrance channel at
the same location as the Preferred and Secondary Alternatives, but with a
marina reduced in size from that of the Preferred Alternative. The design of
the proposed wetland enhancement will remain the same as for the Preferred
Alternative.
Lake Plan alternative design details
2. Design details of the Lake Plan include a total water surface area
of approximately 112 acres* encompassing the main channel, marina basins,
A table of factors for converting non-SI units of measurements to SI(metric) units is presented on page 3.

lower reach of the East Garden Grove-Wintersburg Flood Control Channel
(EGG-WFCC), interior waterways adjacent to residential uses, and other
secondary channels connecting the wetlands and ocean entrance. The design
depth of the proposed entrance channel which connects the marina to the
Pacific Ocean is -6 ft mean sea level (msl), while the depth of the proposed
marina is -20 ft msl. Design details of the Lake Plan link-node system are
shown in Figure I for Lake I (350-ft wide entrance channel), and Lake 2
(200-ft wide entrance channel) alternative concepts. Details of the Lake Plan
link-node system are presented in Figure 2 for Lake 3 (entrance channel closed
by littoral material in the surf zone) alternative concept.
3. The Lake Plan alternative design contemplates an ocean entrance
channel whose width should only be great enough to support an 1,100 acre marsh
area from a hydraulic standpoint. The wetland enhancement design of the
Preferred Alternative is not proposed to be altered by the Lake Plan marina
and ocean entrance modifications. Consequently, it is desired to optimize a
hydraulic connection to the ocean sufficient in size to serve only 930 acres
of wetlands (including 142 acres of existing full and muted tidal wetlands,
116 acres of proposed additional full tidal wetlands, and 193 acres of
proposed additional muted tidal wetlands), as generally described under the
Preferred Alternative. The design for the EGG-WFCC will remain unchanged. No
navigable channel connection to Huntington Harbour is included. Tidal flow
control itrucLZes to the proposed anh.,nced wetlands also will remain the same
as described for the Preferred Alternative.
Lake Plan alternatives simulated by DYNTRAN
4. The calibrated and verified numerical simulation model DYNTRAN
(Moore and Walton 1984), previously utilized to evaluat-e both the Preferred
and Secondary Alternatives, was used to determine the hydrodynamics and water
quality aspects of the Bolsa Bay complex resulting from the proposed Lake Plan
alternatives. The existing conditions as previously evaluated are considered
to be the base conditions for comparison of Lake Plan effects. Optimization
of the entrance channel design has not been performed, although two entrance
channel widths have been evaluated. These two entrance channel widths are
designated Lake 1 and Lake 2 (Lake I - 350-ft wide entrance channel;
Lake 2 - 200-ft wide entrance channel). Additionally, the possibility exists
that the entrance channel may close by littoral material transport in the surf
5
zone. Hence, it is necessary to evaluate the effects of a closed entrance on
hydrodynamics and water quality aspects. The Lake Plan alternative when the
ocean entrance channel is closed has been designated Lake 3. The locations of
the nodes for the displayed numerical model simulation results from Anaheim
Bay, Huntington Harbour, and the Bolsa Bay complex are shown in Figure 3. The
locations of the links for displayed results from the system are presented in
Figure 4.
Wetland design
5. Based on the requirements of converting non-wetlands into wetland
status according to LUP policies, the California Department of Fish and Game
(DFG) (Radovich 1987) determined the minimum acreage requirements per wetland
type as:
a. High pickleweed dominated saltmarsh (rarely, if ever,completely inundated), 200 acres,
b. Periodically inundated saltflats, 150 acres,
p. Fresh to slightly brackish (less than 5 ppt salts)permanently inundated pond, 50 acres,
d. Muted tidal wetland (similar to that contained withinInner Bolsa Bay) with an 18-in. daily average tidal waterlevel variance, 300 acres,
e. Full tidal wetland (similar to that contained withinOuter Bolsa Bay), 215 acres, and
f. Total wetland acreage, 915 acres.
6. Accordingly, Moffatt & Nichol, Engineers, in 1988, analyzed the
geometry of the study area based on these criteria. The tidal wetlands
evaluated consisted of 142 acres of existing full and muted tidal wetlands,
116 acres of proposed additional full tidal wetlands, and 193 acres of
proposed additional muted tidal wetlands. Their storage curves are as
follows:
8
Existing Full and Muted Tidal Wetlands
Elevation (ft, msl) -3.5 -2.3 -0.3 1.8 4.5
Area (acres) 1.7 6.3 44.4 122.6 142.0
Proposed Additional Full Tidal Wetlands
Elevation (ft, msl) -5.0 0.0 1.0 2.0 4.5
Area (acres) 58.2 96.5 100.6 105.3 116.0
Proposed Additional Muted Tidal Wetlands
Elevation (ft, msl) -3.5 -2.3 -0.3 1.8 4.5
Area (acres) 2.3 8.6 60.5 167.0 193.4
These data also were developed contingent upon the requirement that a minimal
amount of earth moving take place in the wetland enhancement area. The above
elevation-area relationships were installed in the numerical simulation model
for all proposed full and muted wetland regions of the Lake Plan concept.
Culvert system design
7. Preliminary evaluations have resulted in specific culvert designs
which are being utilized, in conjunction with marina and wetland enhancement
alternatives. These simulations assessed the effectiveness of the culverts in
providing an assured level of wetland inundation and flushing ability.
8. The Lake Plan concept provides for connecting the proposed marinas
with a full tidal wetland region by two box culvert systems. Each of the
culvert systems will have two box culverts, each 5-ft high by 10-ft wide, with
invert elevations of -5 ft msl. The full tidal wetland region is then
connected to a muted tidal wetland region by a 4-ft-diam culvert system
(4 pipes in, 6 pipes out), with invert elevations of -5.1 ft msl. The
proposed muted tidal wetland region may or may not be connected to the
existing muted tidal wetlands (Inner Bolsa Bay) by a breach in the dike system
at Link 162 (connecting Node 50 with Node 134). The full tidal wetland region
is not connected to Inner Bolsa Bay. Inner Bolsa Bay is connected directly to
the Lake Plan marina entrance channel (enhancing existing muted tidal wetland
water quality characteristics) by a 4-ft-diam culvert system (2 pipes in,
3 pipes out), with invert elevations of -5.1 ft msl.
11
Purposes of the Study
Tidal circulation modeling
9. The purposes of this additional tidal circulation computer simula-
tion modeling were to ascertain the hydrodynamic effects relating to the
development of the Lake Plan at the Bolsa Bay complex, with associated marinas
and wetland enhancement. The enhanced wetland design is the same as that
developed for the Preferred Alternative. Additionally, the hydrodynamic
effects resulting from the closure of the Lake Plan alternative by littoral
material transport in the surf zone were determined.
Transport and water quality assessment
10. The purposes of the transport computer simulation and water quality
assessment included the determination of potential changes to transport and
dispersion of conservative tracers from existing conditions by the Lake Plan
concept. An evaluation of the quality of the present water supply provided by
existing conditions in the existing ecological reserve with the quality of
water to be provided with the Lake Plan alternative and wetland enhancement
concepts, both in terms of water quality parameters and water parcel residence
times, was performed. The effects of proposed enhancements on water quality
in the Anaheim Bay complex, Huntington Harbour, existing wetlands, and
flushing capability of proposed wetland modifications, were ascertained.
Critical elements evaluated
11. Major concerns being addressed by the hydrodynamic and water quality
analyses include:
A. Velocities under Pacific Coast Highway bridge at Anaheim Bay,
b. Excessive velocities pertaining to swimmer safety inHuntington Harbour,
Q. Potential for scour and erosion in Outer Bolsa Bay, withaccompanying shoaling in Huntington Harbour,
4. Changes in water surface elevations, and ability to controlsuch water surface elevations, in both the existing mutedtidal wetlands (Inner Bolsa Bay and the DFG cell) and theproposed enhanced full tidal and muted tidal wetlands,
. Water quality aspects throughout Huntington Harbour and theBolsa Bay complex, and
f. Effects of 100-year flood flow from the East Garden Grove-Wintersburg Flood Control Channel on hydrodynamics and waterquality.
12
PART II: COMPARISON OF LAKE PLAN ALTERNATIVE HYDRODYNAMICS
Water Surface Elevations
12. Tidal simulations throughout the Bolsa Bay complex are presented
for existing conditions, Lake I, Lake 2, and Lake 3 in Appendix A, Appendix C,
Appendix E, and Appendix G, respectively. Maximum spring high tide eleva-
tions, maximum spring low tide elevations, and tidal ranges are shown in
Table I for specific locations throughout the Huntington Harbour and Bolsa Bay
complex. Comparisons of the effects of these plans with existing conditions
for typically representative water surface time-histories are presented in
Figures 5 and 6 for Huntington Harbour (Nodes 5 and 25), Figures 7 through 10
for Outer Bolsa Bay (Nodes 29, 30, 31, and 32), Figure 11 for the entrance
channel to the proposed marina (Node 33), Figures 12 and 13 for Inner Bolsa
Bay (Nodes 45 and 50), and Figure 14 for the DFG muted tidal cell (Node 54),
respectively. The proposed marina and the proposed enhanced tidal wetlands do
not exist under present conditions; hence, effects of various plan alterna-
tives can only be compared with each other. Comparisons of the effects of
Lake 1, Lake 2, and Lake 3 for typically representative water surface time-
histories are presented in Figures 15 and 16 for the proposed marina (Nodes 77
and 90), Figures 17 through 19 for the proposed full tidal wetlands (Nodes 97,
112, and 113), and Figures 20 through 23 for the proposed muted tidal wetlands
(Nodes 117, 123, 129, and 132), respectively.
Huntington Harbour
13. Primary interest with regard to water surface elevations is direct-
ed toward the ability of the Lake Plan non-navigable entrance channel concept
to fully support the proposed wetland enhancement plan. It has previously
been determined that the Huntington Harbour tidal prism fills and empties
through Anaheim Bay; hence, Lake Plan effects will not impact water surface
elevations in the harbor. It can be observed by Figures 5 and 6 (Nodes 5 and
25, lcated at the ends of the main harbor channel) that the water surface
throughout Huntington Harbour responds identically as existing conditions for
all Lake Plan concepts.

Outer Bolsa Bay
14. High tide elevations in Outer Bolsa Bay rise to the same level
regardless of whether a Lake Plan entrance is installed. Outer Bolsa Bay has
the ability to fill from Huntington Harbour, or it can fill from the proposed
new Lake Plan ocean entrance channel at Bolsa Chica. Low water elevations in
Outer Bolsa Bay, especially at large tide range, depend on the characteristics
of the connection channel to a new ocean connection at Bolsa Chica. For
existing conditions, where all flow to the existing wetlands passes through
Outer Bolsa Bay, the hydrography and boundary friction characteristics prevent
low tide elevations from falling as far as low tide elevations in Huntington
Harbour. Outer Bolsa Bay will remain in its present condition for all Lake
Plan alternatives. The proposed new Lake Plan non-navigable ocean entrance
channel at Bolsa Chica will convey a large portion of the tidal prism of the
enhanced wetlands. The nearness of the proposed non-navigable entrance to
24
Outer Bolsa Bay will permit the low water elevations in Outer Bolsa Bay for
Lake 1 and Lake 2 to fall lower than for the existing conditions (Figures 7
through 11, and Table 1).
15. If the proposed non-navigable Lake Plan entrance channel at Bolsa
Chica closes, all the wetland tidal prism is required to traverse through
Outer Bolsa Bay. This condition is analogous to the existing condition with
the exception that the volume of flow is exceedingly greater with the
installation of the proposed new tidal wetlands at Bolsa Chica. Hence, the
low water tidal elevation is retained at a much higher level for the Lake 3
concept than for either Lake 1 or Lake 2 alternatives, or existing conditions.
Inner Bolsa Bay
16. Under existing conditions, water surface elevations in Inner Bolsa
Bay rise to about 1.04 ft msl, and fall to about -0.40 ft msl (maximum tidal
range - 1.5 ft). For either Lake I or Lake 2 alternatives with the wetlands
not connected by a breach in the dike at Link 162, water surface elevations in
Inner Bolsa Bay rise about 0.15 ft higher than existing conditions, and fall
about 0.15 ft lower than existing conditons due to the much greater hydraulic
efficiency of the approach channel to the culvert system. Hence, the Lake I
and Lake 2 alternatives cause an increase in tidal range of about 0.3 ft
(maximum tidal range - 1.8 ft), or about a 20 percent increase in tidal range
in Inner Bolsa Bay (Figures 12 and 13, and Table 1).
DFG muted tidal cell
17. The Lake 1 and Lake 2 alternatives provide for about a 0.1 ft
increase in high tide elevation in the DFG muted tidal cell (from about
1.0 ft msl to about 1.1 ft msl), and about a 0.05 ft decrease in low tide
elevation (from about -0.09 ft msl to about -0.14 ft msl). There results
about a 0.1 ft increase in maximum tidal range when the wetlands are not
connected (from about 1.1 ft to about 1.2 ft), which corresponds to about a
9 percent increase in maximum tidal range (Figure 14, and Table I).
Proposed marina
18. The water surface elevations in the proposed Lake Plan marina
respond almost precisely as the elevations in Outer Bolsa Bay. Maximum high
tide elevations are essentially the same for all Lake Plan alternatives.
Maximum low water elevations are retained at a much higher level for Lake 3
which considers that the entrance channel is closed, falling to about
25
-1.5 ft msl, whereas Lake 1 and Lake 2 maximum low water e vations fall to
about -3.5 ft msl (Figures 15 and 16).
Proposed full tidal wetlands
19. The proposed new full tidal wetlands do not exist under present
conditions; hence, only a comparison of the effects of the Lake Plan alterna-
tives on water surface elevations in this region is available. Maximum high
tide elevation approaches 3.45 ft msl while maximum low tide elevation falls
to about -1.4 ft msl, for both Lake 1 and Lake 2 alternatives. This results
in about a 4.9 ft maximum tidal range. Lake 3 maximum high tide elevation
approaches only about 3.3 ft msl, and maximum low tide elevation fall to only
about -1.1 ft msl (Figures 17 through 19). The resulting maximum tidal range
is about 4.4 ft for the condition which would exist if the proposed Lake Plan
ocean entrance channel at Bolsa Chica is permitted to close by littoral
material in the surf zone.
Proposed muted tidal wetlands
20. The proposed muted tidal wetlands also do not exist under present
conditions. Because of the muting afforded by the second culvert system, the
water surface elevations in these regions are more nearly the same for allLake Plan alternatives than in the other full tidal wetland regions. Maximum
water surface elevations rise to about 1.50 ft msl for Lake 1 and Lake 2, and
rise to about 1.45 ft msl for Lake 3. Maximum low water surface elevations
fall to about -0.55 ft msl for Lake 1 and Lake 2, and fall to about
-0.45 ft msl for Lake 3. There results a maximum tidal range of about 2.1 ft
for Lake I and Lake 2, and about 1.9 ft for Lake 3 (due to potential closure
of the proposed ocean entrance channel at Bolsa Chica), for the situation
where the wetlands are not connected (Figures 20 through 23, and Table 1).
Average Channel Velocities
21. Results of velocity simulations throughout the Bolsa Bay complex
are presented for existing conditions, Lake i, Lake 2, and Lake 3 in
Appendix B, Appendix D, Appendix F, and Appendix H, respectively. Maximum
average channel velocities are shown in Table 2 for specific links throughout
the Huntington Harbour, Outer Bolsa Bay, and the proposed Lake Plan marina
complex. Comparisons of the effects of these plans with existing conditions
26
for typically representative average channel velocities are presented in
Figures 24 through 46 (Huntington Harbour), Figure 47 (Warner Avenue bridge),
Figures 48 through 51 (Outer Bolsa Bay), Figures 52 and 53 (proposed Lake Plan
marina channel), and Figure 54 (ocean entrance channel at Bolsa Chica),
respectively.

Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) bridge at Anaheim Bay
22. Concern exists regarding the effects of strong currents on naviga-
tion craft which at times have difficulty entering and exiting Anaheim Bay
at the Pacific Coast Highway bridge. Helical and spiral flow created by the
velocity field at the relatively sharp curves approaching the PCH bridge where
craft are required to maneuver tend to create a hazardous situation. The
National Marine Fisheries Service also is concerned about such flow field
effects on potential bank erosion of the wetlands at Seal Beach. Potential
increases in velocity under the PCH bridge due to any increase in tidal prism
for nourishing wetland areas at Bolsa Chica are of significant concern to
navigation.
23. The existing maximum average channel velocity simulated through
this PCH bridge opening is 2.78 ft per sec. Lake 1 alternative indicates the
maximum average channel velocity at this location will be 2.50 ft per sec.
This implies that the 350-ft wide entrance channel with a bottom elevation of
44
-6 ft msl is capable of supporting the proposed wetland enhancement areas at
Bolsa Chica, and also conveys a small portion of that tidal prism to Bolsa
Chica all of which otherwise would be required to enter by way of the PCH
bridge at Anaheim Bay. Lake 2 alternative (200-ft wide entrance channel)
simulations result in a velocity of 2.74 ft per sec under the PCH bridge at
Anaheim Bay, effectively the same as existing conditions. Hence, the Lake 2
entrance channel at Bolsa Chica provides enough tidal prism to support the
enhanced wetland areas at Bolsa Chica. If the Lake Plan alternative entrance
channel at Bolsa Chica is permitted to close, the entire tidal prism must be
conveyed by the opening under the PCH bridge at Anaheim Bay. The Lake 3
simulation (proposed entrance channel at Bolsa Chica closed) indicates the
maximum average channel velocity at the PCH bridge at Anaheim Bay will
increase to 3.24 ft per sec, an increase of 17 percent over present
conditions.
Huntington Harbour
24. Average channel velocities in Huntington Harbour resulting from the
Lake Plan alternatives are directly related to existing velocities in approx-
imately the same manner as average channel velocities under the PCH bridge at
Anaheim Bay. In general, Lake I slightly reduces Huntington Harbour veloci-
ties while Lake 2 induces about the same magnitude as existing conditions.
Average channel velocities resulting from the Lake 3 alternative approach
2.0 ft per sec in the western section of Huntington Harbour under extreme
spring high tide conditions (tidal range on the order of 8 ft), and may thus
become hazardous for swimming and navigation (Figures 24 through 46, and
Table 2).
Warner Avenue bridge
25. Under the Lake Plan alternatives, Outer Bolsa Bay and Warner Avenue
bridge remain in their present conditions. Average channel velocities at the
Warner Avenue bridge decrease by about 44 percent for the Lake 1 alternative
(from about 1.65 to about 0.93 ft per sec), and remain approximately the same
as existing conditions for the Lake 2 alternative. If the proposed entrance
channel at Bolsa Chica is permitted to close, thereby requiring all tidal flow
to the Bolsa Chica wetlands to pass under Warner Avenue bridge, average
channel velocities will increase by about a factor of 3, from 1.65 to
4.80 ft per sec (190 percent increase). Bridge stabilization measures would
45
likely be necessary to prevent scour and erosion of the bridge abutments, and
channel bottoms beneath the bridge and into Huntington Harbour. (Figure 47,
and Table 2)
Outer Bolsa Bay
26. The enhanced wetland regions at Bolsa Chica for the Lake Plan
alternatives will fill and empty through the proposed new entrance channel to
the Pacific Ocean at Bolsa Chica. Hence, it will not be necessary for all the
wetland tidal prism to pass through Outer Bolsa Bay. Lake I and Lake 2
thereby results in lower average channel velocities in Outer Bolsa Bay than
for existing conditions. The Lake 3 alternative, however, indicates that
average channel velocities in Outer Bolsa Bay will increase a maximum from
1.35 to 1.73 ft per sec, with the average increase for Outer Bolsa Bay being
39 percent. Hence, scour of unconsolidated bay sediments may occur. Channel
stabilization measures in Outer Bolsa Bay may be necessary near the Warner
Avenue bridge to prevent shoal material from accumulating in Huntington
Harbour, and at the proposed marina channel at Bolsa Chica (Figures 48 through
51, and Table 2).
Proposed Lake Plan marina channel
27. Cross-sectional areas of the channels through the proposed marina
complex at Bolsa Chica are sufficiently large such that maximum spring tide
average channel velocities will remain small (up to 0.67 ft per sec)
(Figures 52 and 53, and Table 2). Swimmer and navigation hazards would not
ensue from such mild average velocities in the Lake Plan marina channel.
ProoOsed ocean entrance channel at Bolsa Chica
28. Average channel velocities in the non-navigable entrance to the
marina complex at Bolsa Chica exceed that sufficient for initiation of
movement of sandy particles, being 2.40 and 3.34 ft per sec for the Lake 1 and
Lake 2 concepts, respectively. Previously, Hughes (1988) considered the
potential of the Secondary Alternative (non-navigable entrance of 160-ft width
and 5-ft depth) at Bolsa Chica to close by littoral material transport in the
surf zone. In that concept, Warner Avenue bridge is relocated and the channel
in that vicinity is enlarged by a factor of 2.5; hence, no restriction at
Warner Avenue bridge exists for the Secondary Alternative concept. The
predominant volume of tidal prism of the tidal wetlands at Bolsa Chica passes
through the relocated Warner Avenue bridge, with the average channel
46
velocities in the entrance channel at Bolsa Chica approaching only about
1 35 ft per sec.
29. Hughes (1988) Loncluded that it is difficult to state whether the
proposed ocean entrance at Bolsa Chica will shoal to the point of closure
after reaching an equilibrium area compatible with observed prototype inlets
for a maximum average velocity of 1.35 ft per sec. He recommended that during
any final design phase, a numerical tidal circulation model be developed for
analyzing this particular condition. Such analysis is presently beyond the
scope of this investigation. However, the existing restrictions afforded by
Warner Avenue bridge will continue to exist under Lake Plan alternative
concepts, and the wetland tidal prism could be required to pass through the
proposed non-navigable entrance channel at Bolsa Chica. Average channel
velocities of either 2.4 ft per sec (Lake i) or 3.34 ft per sec (Lake 2) would
be sufficient to scour surf zone littoral material from the entrance channel
and maintain a non-navigable tidal exchange between the Pacific Ocean and the
proposed enhanced wetlands at Bolsa Chica. The initiation of motion for
quartz sediments depends directly on the grain size. Unconsolidated medium
sand in the surf zone with diameters up to 1.0 mm can be placed in motion by
velocities around 1.0 ft per sec. Finer size particles are affected by
cohesive forces, and can withstand much higher velocities without scouring.
Effect of Interior Wetlands Connection at Bolsa Chica
30. Existing Inner Bolsa Bay may or may not be connected to the
proposed muted tidal wetlands by an opening through the dike along Link 162
which would connect Node 50 (at the rear of Inner Bolsa Bay) with Node 134
(in the proposed muted tidal wetland region). The DYNTRAN simulations were
performed both with and without this wetland connection. It was determined
that any effects created by such connections within the wetlands would not
propagate through the culvert and tide gate system into the marinas and other
regions of Bolsa Chica. Effects resulting from changes within the wetlands
are confined to the wetlands. The effects of a wetland connection at Link 162
on water surface elevations are displayed in Figures 55 through 57 for Inner
Bolsa Bay (Nodes 37, 45, and 50), Figure 58 for the DFG muted tidal cell
(Node 54), Figures 59 through 61 for the proposed full tidal wetlands
47
(Nodes 97, 112, and 113), and Figures 62 through 65 for the proposed muted
tidal wetlands (Nodes 117, 123, 129, and 132), respectively.
31. If Inner Bolsa Bay is connected to the proposed muted tidal
wetlands by a breach in the dike which separates the two wetland regions, the
water surface elevation in Inner Bolsa Bay will rise about 0.15 ft higher than
if the two wetlands remain isolated from each other. This occurs because of
flow entering the proposed muted tidal wetlands through culvert systems with
twice the conveyance of the culvert system which would otherwise connect Inner
Bolsa Bay with the marina complex (Figures 55 through 57). The DFG muted
tidal cell also experiences about a 0.15 ft increase in high tide elevations
(Figure 58), as its high tide responds essentially as existing Inner Bolsa Bay
at high tide. The proposed full tidal wetlands are unaffected by the presence
or absence of a connection between Inner Bolsa Bay and the proposed muted
tidal wetlands (Figures 59 through 61). The proposed muted tidal wetlands
will experience about a 0.10 ft decrease in maximum water surface elevations
as this volume is permitted to flow into Inner Bolsa Bay through the highly
efficient breach in the dike system (Figures 62 through 65). The hydraulic
connections between the Pacific Ocean and the wetlands, the wetland design,
and the culvert system design and operation, can be optimized to provide any
reasonable degree (within maximum limits) of tidal muting, flooding, and
inundation to support marine life and vegetation varieties.

PART III: EAST GARDEN GROVE-VINTERSBURG FLOOD CONTROL CHANNEL(EGG-WFCC) 100-YEAR FLOOD FLOW
32. The hydrograph for the 100-year frequency of occurrence flood for
the EGG-WFCC watershed has been developed by Moffatt & Nichol, Engineers
(1986), based on hydrology guidance provided by the Orange County Flood
Control District (1986). The peak flow rate for the 100-year flood was
determined to be 9,710 cfs. This estimated 100-year peak flow rate is
23 percent higher than the 1977 estimate, and is the result of improved
hydraulic data presently utilized by the County of Orange. The lower reaches
of the existing earthen-lined WFCC can presently convey only approximately
65 percent of a 25-year storm. It is assumed that the channel will be
improved upstream of the Bolsa Chica project to a 100-year storm runoff
capacity.
Water Surface Elevations
33. Concern exists regarding the maximum flood flow elevations which
may be reached in Huntington Harbour, the proposed Lake Plan marina, and
wetlands by the 100-year flood, for both existing conditions and various
alternative proposed plans for wetland enhancement at Bolsa Chica. Levee
elevations with adequate freeboard will be established to preclude flood flow
overtopping. It is assumed that all culvert systems will function during a
100-year storm flood conditions in the same manner as during normal tidal
cycles; i.e., the culverts will not be closed to prevent flood flow from
entering either the existing or proposed wetlands.
34. Accordingly, the 100-year flood flow (9,710 cfs) was introduced
through flood control gates on the EGG-WFCC at the proposed Bolsa Chica-
Garfield Roadway location. The numerical model was operated for 3 days under
simultaneous spring tide and flood flow conditions. While the peak flow rate
will last only a few hours, the 3-day model simulation was performed to
observe maximum dynamic equilibrium elevations which would develop in the
wetlands. Maximum water surface elevations for existing conditions and
alternative Lake Plans are displayed in Figures 66 through 77 for representa-
tive locations throughout the Bolsa Chica system. Table 3 presents maximum

water surface elevations for the spring tide plus the simultaneous 100-year
flood flow (9,710 cfs) in the EGG-WFCC.
Existing conditions
35. Under existing conditions, all flood flow is required to pass
tb-ough Outer Bolsa Bay and Huntington Harbour. The wide conveyance channels
of Huntingtcn Harbour allow the passage of the flood flow with only minimal
increase in maximum water surface elevation of about 0.3 ft, from about 4.1 to
about 4.4 ft msl (Figures 66 and 67, and Table 3). Warner Avenue bridge acts
as a restriction to the passage of the 100-year flood discharge, causing
ponding to occur in Outer Bolsa Bay. The water surface elevation occurring
from flood flows in Outer Bolsa Bay is estimated to reach 7.1 ft msl, an
increase beyond the normal spring high tide elevation of about 3.0 ft
(Figures 68 and 72, and Table 3).
36. Because of the elevated water surfaces in Outer Bolsa Bay, flood-
ing also occurs in Inner Bolsa Bay, where the maximum water surface elevation
increases to around 6.7 ft msl, an increase over normal spring high tide
elevations of about 5.7 ft (Figure 73, and Table 3). A similar increase in
water surface elevation occurs in the DFG muted tidal cell (Figure 74, and
Table 3).
37. Damping created by Warner Avenue bridge prevents most undulations
of tidal activity existing in Huntington Harbour from propagating upstream
into Outer Bolsa Bay. Thus, the bridge opening prevents the passage of a
quantity of flood flow that would otherwise be transmitted through the harbor.
Such constriction results in a hydraulic drop across Warner Avenue bridge of
about 2.3 ft, from 6.7 ft msl elevation in Outer Bolsa Bay (Node 29) to
4.4 ft msl in Huntington Harbour (Node 25).
Lake Plan alternatives
38. High tide elevations in Huntington Harbour and Outer Bolsa Bay for
both Lake 1 and Lake 2 alternatives for the 100-year flood flow would remain
approximately the same as existing spring tide elevations because the proposed
non-navigable entrance at Bolsa Chica would permit flood flows to escape
directly into the Pacific Ocean. The maximum difference in high tide
elevations for spring and flood conditions would be only about 0.2 ft with the
inclusion of the proposed channel at Bolsa Chica. Conversely, for Lake 3 when
the entrance channel closes, all tidal prism must discharge through
63
Outer Bolsa Bay and Huntington Harbour. High tide elevations for this
situation approximate those of existing flood flow (Figures 66 through 72, and
Table 3).
39. Both Lake i and Lake 2 alternatives under flood flow conditions
result in a moderate transient increase in water surface elevation in Inner
Bolsa Bay and the DFG muted tidal cell, being about 0.5 ft and 1.0 ft,
respectively (Figures 73 and 74, and Table 3). Lake 3 flood flow results in
the existing muted tidal wetlands (Inner Bolsa Bay and the DFG cell) are
slightly less than existing flood flow conditions, with the maximum water
surface elevation increasing from about 1.0 to about 6.5 ft msl for Lake 3
floods, and to about 6.8 ft msl for existing condition floods.
40. Because neither the proposed Lake Plan marina, proposed full tidal
wetlands, nor proposed muted tidal wetlands presently exist, it is not
possible to compare results from the Lake Plan alternatives with existing
conditions for these regions. Lake 1 and Lake 2 alternatives under flood flow
conditions provide for modest increase in high tide elevations in the proposed
full tidal wetlands beyond normal spring tide elevations, being about 0.2 and
0.4 ft, respectively. Lake 3 induces a significant increase for these
conditions, being an increase of about 3.4 ft. Lake I and Lake 2 alternatives
result in increases in high tide elevations in the proposed muted tidal
wetlands for flood flow conditions beyond normal spring tide elevations of
about 0.3 and 0.6 ft, respectively. Lake 3, however, induces an increase in
this region of about 5.0 ft (Tables 1 and 3).
Average Channel Velocities
41. Maximum average channel velocities for the simultaneous occurr-nce
of spring tide and 100-year flood flow discharging into the Bolsa Bay complex
by the EGG-WFCC are presented in Figures 78 through 93 for representative
locations throughout the system. These data are tabulated in Table 4. Warner
Avenue bridge and Outer Bolsa Bay remain in their present condition for all
Lake Plan alternative evaluations.
ExistLn& conditions
42. Maximum average channel velocity increases throughout the Bolsa
Chica system are non-linearly proportional to the water surface elevation

increases. While the maximum water surface elevations throughout Huntington
Harbour are not significantly greater under the 100-year flood flow condi-
tions, maximum average channel velocities occur near mean tide elevations
where the flow cross-sectional areas are less than maximum. Hence, the tidal
flows and flood flows are being conveyed simultaneously through a minimum area
and, thus, at a maximum velocity.
43. Maximum average channel velocities increase at the Pacific Coast
Highway bridge at Anaheim Bay from about 2.8 ft per sec to about
5.0 ft per sec (80 percent increase) (Figure 78, and Table 4). Maximum
average channel velocities in Huntington Harbour increase up to a maximum of
3.5 ft per sec from about 1.5 ft per sec (130 percent increase). Other
sections experience a greater percentage increase, although not as large an
absolute magnitude (Figures 79 through 86, and Table 4).
44. Warner Avenue bridge experiences excessively high velocities due to
the large difference in water levels upon either side of the bridge. Maximum
average velocities increase from about 1.6 ft per sec during maximum spring
tides to about 11.6 ft per sec under 100-year flood flow conditions
(600 percent increase) (Figure 87, and Table 4). Outer Bolsa Bay would
experience velocities approaching 2.8 ft per sec, which would be significantly
greater if not for the damming effect created by existing Warner Avenue bridge
(Figures 88 through 91, and Table 4).
Lake Plan alternatives
45. Average channel velocities under the PCH bridge at Anaheim Bay are
not exceedingly larger for flood flow conditions with either the Lake 1 or
Lake 2 concept than for maximum spring tide velocities, and are significantly
less than flood flows under existing conditions. Lake 1 concept average
velocity at the PCH at Anaheim Bay bridge increases from about 2.8 to about
3.0 ft per sec (7 percent increase), whereas the Lake 2 concept average
velocity increases to about 3.3 ft per sec (19 percent increase). The Lake 3
concept which requires all flow to pass under the PCH bridge at Anaheim Bay
(analogous to existing conditions) induces an average velocity of about
5.0 ft per sec at this location (82 percent increase) (Figure 78, and
Table 4). Here again, these are average channel velocities over the entire
cross-sectional area, and do not account for spiral flow around channel bends
which would likely exceed this velocity.
74
46. The Lake I concept with the 100-year flood flow results in average
channel velocities in Huntington Harbour which are only slightly greater than
maximum spring tide conditions. The main channel into Huntington Harbour
experiences average channel velocities approaching 2.0 ft per sec under the
Lake 2 concept at Link 7, increasing from 1.48 ft per sec (34 percent
increase). Average channel velocities throughout Huntington Harbour for
Lake 1 and Lake 2 flood flow conditions are not significantly greater than for
maximum spring tide flows under existing conditions, because the majority of
the flood flow will discharge through the proposed entrance channel at Bolsa
Chica. The restriction afforded by Warner Avenue bridge retards flood flow
into Huntington Harbour. Even for the Lake 3 condition, average channel
velocities throughout the harbor do not exceed the corresponding flood flow
velocities under existing conditions (Figures 79 through 86, and Table 4).
47. Only a portion of the flood flow passes under Warner Avenue bridge,
for the Lake I and Lake 2 alternatives, although average velocities increase
from 1.65 ft per sec to 4.94 and 6.48 ft per sec, respectively. The Lake 3
concept essentially reproduces the existing condition velocities under the
bridge (11.39 ft per sec). Scour and erosion of the soft sediments of Outer
Bolsa Bay and the bridge abutment may ensue, with corresponding shoaling of
the eastern portion of Huntington Harbour, unless bridge and channel stabili-
zation measures are instituted at Warner Avenue bridge. Average channel
velocities in Outer Bolsa Bay approach 1.7 and 1.9 ft per sec for the Lake I
and Lake 2 concepts, respectively, even though much of the flood flow
discharges through the proposed entrance channel at Bolsa Chica to the ocean.
Lake 3 average channel velocities approach 2.2 ft per sec in Outer Bolsa Bay
(Figures 88 through 91, and Table 4). Lake 3 flood velocities are slightly
less than existing condition flood velocities because a portion of the flood
flow is going into temporary storage within the proposed wetlands. The
maximum water surface elevations within the existing and proposed wetlands
under Lake 3 flood conditions are slightly less than under existing flood
conditions.
48. Because such a large volume of flood flow passes directly through
the Lake Plan marina complex and into the ocean for both the Lake 1 and Lake 2
concepts, resulting average channel velocities in the Lake Plan marina
channels for these plans are actually greater than for the Lake 3 plan,
75
being 2.63, 2.40, and 1.72 ft per sec, respectively. The average channel
velocities in the entrance channel at Bolsa Chica resulting from flood flow
under the Lake I and Lake 2 concepts (6.73 and 8.17 ft per sec, respectively)
are of sufficient magnitude to reestablish design dimensions of the channel
(i.e., allowing removal of all sediment buildup in the proposed entrance
channel at Bolsa Chica) (Figures 92 and 93, and Table 4). Velocities up to
8 ft per sec from the 100-year flood flow will have no deleterious effect on
entrance channel closure; however, this velocity magnitude will require
consideration in the design of the stabilizing jetties and new bridge over the
entrance channel. These high velocities may keep the entrance channel open
only a short time; a 100-year opening frequency is not sufficient to prevent
closure at other times.
76
PART IV: EVALUATION OF TRANSPORT CHARACTERISTICS
49. DYNTRAN simulations were performed to evaluate the impacts of the
transport and mixing characteristics of the three potential entrance config-
urations (Lake 1, Lake 2, and Lake 3) of the proposed Lake ?lan alternative on
water quality in the Huntington Harbour-Bolsa Bay complex. First, overall
residence time (water age) was calculated for the whole system. Ocean water
is in a comparatively clean condition, and residence time in the system
generally corresponds to degradation of the water quality. Although there is
not a direct correlation, and other factors may improve or degrade water
quality conditions, the residence time serves as an indicator of system water
quality particularly in the harbor and marina areas. Rapid flushing within
the wetland itself, however, is not considered a necessary beneficial
condition. Also, transport of runoff from the EGG-WFCC was simulated for the
Lake Plan configurations. EGG-WFCC has previously been shown in the main
report (Report No. 3) to be a major source of toxic materials which are
transported into Outer Bolsa Bay and, to a lesser degree, into Huntington
Harbour.
50. This series of simulations addresses the potential impacts of
circulation changes in the system on water quality. No attempt has been made
to estimate the potential increase in pollutants from new development or
recreational uses of the Lake Plan alternatives.
Tidal Boundary Driver
51. The tidal boundary conditions used for the transport tests are
shown in Figure 94. This signal is simply the tidal pattern from constitu-
ents at the NOAA Los Angeles-Long Beach tide gage for the month of September
1988. For the water age calculation, 1,375 hr of simulation were performed.
The September tidal pattern was repeated for the additional simulation time.
In the runoff tests, the first 200 hr were utilized. The September 1988 tides
do not contain the extreme high and low tide range observed in this area, and
utilized in the hydrodynamic simulations. However, this lower tidal range
condition is a more environmentally stressful condition; i.e., system flushing
is lower for lower tidal ranges. This is the same tidal boundary driver

age. Direct comparisons of residence times are applicable.
System Water Age
52. In this series of tests, the average age for a parcel of water
(i.e., the t-ime since that parcel of water left the ocean) was calculated for
the existing condition (POSTBOL), and for each of the three potential entrance
configurations of the proposed Lake Plan alternative previously described.
These three variations include:
a. Lake 1: Lake Plan with 350-ft wide entrance channel,wetlands not connected,
b. Lake 2: Lake Plan with 200-ft wide entrance channel,wetlands not connected, and
. Lake 3: Lake Plan with entrance channel closed,wetlands not connected.
78
53. Water age was calculated by setting the age of the ocean water
equal to zero, and solving the "water age" transport equation previously
discussed in the main report (Report No. 3). Use of the time decay boundary
option was overridden in the model in this case, and a 0.0 boundary value was
specified as follows. For the existing entrance, the age boundary (i.e., the
location where the water was considered outside the system) was taken at the
boundary of Node 1. Water age was set to zero in Nodes 73 and 74 at the
Anaheim Bay entrance (Figure 3). Similarly, for the variations of the Lake
Plan alternative, the zero boundary was set at the edge of the land area
rather than at the boundary of the nodes extending out into the ocean. Water
age was set to zero in Nodes 91, 139, and 140. For all water age simulations,
the hydrodynamic model was started at a zero velocity condition and zero water
surface elevation (msl), and allowed 25 hr (two complete tidal cycles) for
model "spinup" before starting the water age calculations. Water age was
initially zero throughout the entire system.
54. For existing conditions, water age results are presented graphic-
ally for Nodes 9, 15, 17, 24, 32, 35, 40, and 54 in Figures 95 through 102,
respectively (location of nodes shown on Figure 3). The graphs demonstrate
several general characteristics of the aging simulations. During the initial
phase of the simulations, the water age increases linearly. As the system
equilibrates, the water age oscillates with the tidal variations in a plateau
range. At Node 9 (Figure 95) in the main channel of Huntington Harbour,
velocities are relatively high, and water moves rapidly in from the ocean and
back out, resulting in large variations in water age over a tidal cycle at
this location. In the side channels of Huntington Harbour (Figures 96 and 97)
where flow is low, intertidal variations are decreased and average water age
is much higher. These side channel areas occasionally have low dissolved
oxygen (DO), particularly in the deeper reaches due to increased residence
time, low vertical mixing, and biological oxygen demand (BOD) sources in the
marinas. As the water moves away from the Anaheim entrance into Bolsa Bay,
average age increases. In the DFG muted tidal cell, water age equilibrates to
over 800 hr (a residence time in the system of more than a month), and tidal
oscillations are damped.

55. Table 5 summarizes the ageing results for a series of nodes in
Huntington Harbour and Bolsa Bay under existing conditions, and for the three
potential entrance variations of the Lake Plan alternative. The average age
for the final 25 hr (two full tidal cycles) of simulation is shown in this
table. The Lake Plan alternative variations do not adversely affect flushing
in the Huntington Harbour area. Water age is reduced for the open entrance
configurations (Lake 1 and Lake 2), and is close to existing values where the
entrance channel may close (Lake 3) due to shoaling if not maintained.

56. In all existing wetland areas, water age is greatly reduced for
both the Lake 1 and Lake 2 configurations. The culvert system to the existing
Inner Bolsa Bay wetlands for the Lake Plan configurations is located close to
the proposed ocean entrance "analogous to the supplemental channel to Inner
Bolsa Bay previously evaluated as part of the navigable entrance channel
concept in the main report, Report No. 3). Thus, as expected, water entering
the wetlands has been in the system a relatively short period of time.
57. Water age is very slightly lower in the wetlands for the 350-ft
wide entrance channel (Lake 1) than for the 200-ft wide entrance channel
(Lake 2). Water age within the existing wetland area is slightly lower for
Lake 3 (entrance channel closed) than for existing conditions. Node 37 is the
first node within the Inner Bolsa Bay muted tidal wetland for the Lake Plan
configuration, whereas under existing conditions the culvert system discharges
into Node 35 (i.e., the areas represented by Nodes 35 and 36 are removed from
the Inner Bolsa Bay wetland area under the Lake Plan configuration).
58. The water age from the front to the back of the existing Inner
Bolsa Bay muted tidal wetland (Nodes 37, 40, and 54) is virtually unchanged
(slightly reduced) from existing conditions by the Lake 3 concept which,
again, considers that the entrance channel has closed by littoral material
transport in the surf zone. This is anticipated since the culvert system is
identical for the two situations; however, the Lake Plan alternative provides
for a much greater hydraulic efficiency of the approach channel to the culvert
system. In the proposed full tidal wetland area and proposed muted tidal
wetland area, water age is lower for the open entrance Lake Plan configura-
tions (Lake I and Lake 2) than in the existing Inner Bolsa Bay muted tidal
wetlands. For the closed entrance channel Lake Plan configuration (Lake 3),
the water age in the proposed full tidal wetland area and proposed muted tidal
wetland area is substantially greater than for the existing Inner Bolsa Bay
muted tidal wetlands.
85
East Garden Grove-WintersburgFlood Control Channel (EGG-W7CC) Runoff
59. To test the impacts of the Lake Plan alternative variations on the
transport of runoff from the EGG-WFCC into the existing and proposed wetland
enhancement areas, a simulation was performed using the first 200 hours of the
tidal signal of Figure 94. The model simulation was started from still water
conditions at mean tide elevation, and was "warmed up" for 50 hours before
constituent simulations were begun to remove all transient variations, and to
allow the model to equilibrate to steady state conditions. A runoff inflow
with a dissolved tracer (Figure 103) entered the model at the node adjoining
the EGG-WFCC. For the existing condition, inflow was introduced into Node 33.
For the three Lake Plan alternative concepts, the same runoff inflow was
introduced into Node 83. The constituent boundaries were set at the edge of
the model network for EGG-WFCC runoff; i.e., extending out into the ocean
region.
60. Figure 104 compares the concentrations of the dissolved tracer
resulting from the EGG-WFCC runoff at a point immediately beyond the culvert
system at the entry to the Inner Bolsa Bay wetland for existing and proposed
Lake Plan conditions. Node 35 of this display is located at the entry to
existing Inner Bolsa Bay and results are for existing conditions, while
Node 37 is located at the entry to Inner Bolsa Bay after the Lake Plan
alternative configurations have been developed. Figures 105 and 106 depict
the time histories of the dissolved tracer resulting from the EGG-WFCC runoff
for the existing condition and for the three Lake Plan alternative concepts at
a location representative of Inner Bolsa Bay (Node 40), and in the DFG muted
tidal cell (Node 54), respectively. Figure 107 compares the inflow concentra-
tions immediately beyond the culvert system at the entry of the existing Inner
Bolsa Bay muted tidal wetlands (Node 35), and immediately beyond the culvert
system at the entry to the proposed full tidal wetland enhancement region
(Node 93), respectively.
61. Presently, inflow from EGG-WFCC enters Outer Bolsa Bay
immediately in front of the culvert system into Inner Bolsa Bay. For the
existing condition configuration, runoff is swept into the existing Inner
Bolsa Bay with little dilution. The location of the culvert system to the

existing Inner Bolsa Bay muted tidal wetlands at a substantial distance from
the channel inflow (Node 83) as configured in the Lake Plan alternative,
provides an opportunity for the dilution of the toxicants being carried by the
runoff. In addition, the Lake Plan alternative is a deep, high volume
configuration which provides tremendous dilution potential for the intermit-
tent inflow from the EGG-WFCC. For all the Lake Plan alternative configura-
tions, runoff concentrations are reduced to a negligible level; i.e., on the
order of 1 percent of those observed for the existing conditions. Although
Lake 3 (which considers that the entrance channel has closed) indicates a
slightly greater concentration reaching the wetland compared to the concentra-
tions for the open entrance Lake Plan concepts (Lake I and Lake 2), this value
is truly minuscule compared to the present configuration.
Assessment of Transport Characteristics
62. The three Lake Plan alternative concepts have no apparent negative
impacts on water age in sensitive areas of Huntington Harbour. For the
Lake 3 concept (entrance channel closed), water age in the proposed new
wetland enhancement areas is greater than that presently found within the
existing muted tidal wetlands (Inner Bolsa Bay). This indicates that water
quality in the proposed new wetlands for the Lake 3 concept may be slightly
degraded relative to water quality of the existing wetlands. Both the Lake I
and Lake 2 concepts provide for significant reductions in water residence
times in the existing wetlands (Inner Bolsa Bay) compared to existing
conditions. This reduction in water residence time occurs because Inner Bolsa
Bay tidal prism has a much shorter connection through the proposed Lake Plan
entrance channel to the Pacific Ocean than through Huntington Harbour. Both
of these concepts (Lake 1 and Lake 2) also provide for significant reductions
in water age in the proposed new wetland enhancement regions compared to the
existing Inner Bolsa Bay wetlands, for the same reasons.
63. The Lake Plan alternative concepts also provide a very effective
buffer to the inflow of flood discharge from the EGG-WFCC into the wetlands.
Dilution of this inflow is much greater for all the Lake Plan configurations
than under existing conditions, and is a significantly beneficial consequence.
Presently, flood flow from the EGG-WFCC discharges into Outer Bolsa Bay at the
92
entzance to Inner Bolsa Bay, with minimal dilution. Under Lake Plan concepts,
flow from the EGG-WFCC will discharge into a large volume of relatively fresh
(less degraded) water in the marina region, thus reducing concentrations
available for transport into the proposed and existing wetlands.
93
PART V: SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
Summary
64. The Lake Plan was introduced for analysis by Signal Landmark, as a
third alternative to the Preferred and Secondary Alternatives. The Lake Plan
provides for a non-navigable entrance channel at the same location as the
Preferred and Secondary Alternatives, but with a marina reduced in size from
that of the Preferred Alternative. The design of the proposed wetland
enhancement will remain the same as for the Preferred Alternative.
65. Design details of the Lake Plan include a total water surface area
of approximately 112 acres encompassing the main channel, marina basins, lower
reach of the EGG-WFCC, interior waterways, and secondary channels. The design
depLh of the non-navigable entrance channel is -6 ft msl, while the depth of
the marina complex is -20 ft msl. The Lake Plan alternative design contem-
plates an ocean entrance channel whose width should only be great enough to
support an 1,100 acre marsh area from a hydraulic standpoint.
66. The calibrated and verified numerical simulation model DYNTRAN,
previously utilized to evaluate both the Preferred and Secondary Alternatives,
was used to determine the hydrodynamics and water quality aspects of the Bolsa
Bay complex resulting from the proposed Lake Plan alternative. The existing
conditions as previously evaluated are considered to be the base conditions
for comparison of Lake Plan effects. Optimization of the entrance channel
design has not been performed, although two entrance channel widths have been
evaluated (Lake 1 - 350-ft wide entrance channel; Lake 2 - 200-ft wide
entrance channel). Additionally, the possibility exists that the entrance
channel may close by littoral material transport in the surf zone. Hence, it
was necessary to evaluate the effects of a closed entrance on hydrodynamic and
water quality aspects. The Lake Plan alternative when the ocean entrance
channel is closed has been designated Lake 3.
94
Conclusions
Tidal water surface elevations
67. Primary interest with regard to water surface elevations is direct-
ed toward the ability of the Lake Plan non-navigable entrance channel concept
to fully support the proposed wetland enhancement plan. Conclusions in this
regard include:
j. Water surface throughout Huntington Harbour respondsidentically as existing conditions for all Lake Planconcepts,
b. The nearness of the proposed non-navigable entrance toOuter Bolsa Bay will permit low water elevations in thebay for Lake 1 and Lake 2 to fall about 1.0 ft lower than forexisting conditions,
c. Low water elevation in Outer Bolsa Bay for Lake 3 isretained about 1.0 higher than existing conditions, andabout 2.0 ft higher than Lake 1 or Lake 2,
d. When the wetlands are not connected, either Lake Plancauses about 0.15 ft higher high water elevation andabout 0.15 ft lower low water elevation in Inner Bolsa Bay,
e. Either Lake Plan alternative causes about a 0.1 ft higherhigh water elevation and about 0.05 ft lower low waterelevation in the DFG muted tidal cell,
f. High tide elevations in the proposed marinas are thesame for all Lake Plan alternatives,
g. Low tide elevations in the proposed marinas fall to about-3.5 ft msl for Lake 1 and Lake 2, and fall only to about-1.5 ft msl for Lake 3,
h. Lake I and Lake 2 provide for about a 4.9 ft maximum tidalrange in the proposed full tidal wetland, while Lake 3 allowsfor about a 4.4 ft maximum tidal range in the proposed fulltidal wetland, and
1. Lake 1 and Lake 2 provide for about a 2.1 ft maximum tidalrange in the proposed muted tidal wetland, while Lake 3allows for about a 1.9 ft maximum tidal range in theproposed muted tidal wetland.
95
Tidal average channel velocities
68. Major concerns pertaining to channel velocities exist with regard
to navigation hazards at the PCH bridge at Anaheim Bay, swimmer safety in
Huntington Harbour, potential for scour and erosion of soft sediments in Outer
Bolsa Bay with accompanying shoaling in Huntington Harbour, and the possibil-
ity of closure of the non-navigable entrance channel by littoral material in
the surf zone. Conclusions include the following:
a. Average channel velocities at the PCH bridge at Anaheim Bayare equal to or slightly less than existing conditions forLake 1 and Lake 2, with Lake 3 providing for about a0.5 ft per sec increase from 2.78 to 3.24 ft per sec, formaximum spring tide conditions,
k. Lake 1 slightly reduces average channel velocities inHuntington Harbour from existing conditions, Lake 2 inducesabout the same magnitude as existing conditions, and Lake 3causes an increase to about 2.0 ft per sec for maximum springtides, and may become hazardous for swimming,
&. Lake 1 reduces average channel velocities under Warner Avenuebridge from existing conditions, Lake 2 induces about the samemagnitude as existing conditions, Lake 3 causes an increase toabout 4.8 ft per sec for maximum spring tides which maynecessitate bridge stabilization measures to prevent scour ofabutments and channel bottom,
4. Lake 1 and Lake 2 reduce average channel velocities in OuterBolsa Bay from existing conditions, Lake 3 increases maximumaverage channel velocities from about 1.4 to about 1.7 ft persec for maximum spring tides; potential scour effects could beprevented by channel stabilization measures installed as partof project construction,
i. Large channel cross-sectional areas in the proposed Lake Planmarina provide for low average channel velocities, and swimmerhazards will not result, and
. Average channel velocities in the non-navigable entrance atBolsa Chica will exceed that necessary to initiate sedimentmotion, being about 2.4 and 3.3 ft per sec for Lake I andLake 2, respectively. This will contribute to keeping theentrance channel from closing by littoral material transportin the surf zone, although may not be entirely sufficient.
96
Effect of wetland connection
69. Inner Bolsa Bay may or may not be connected to the proposed muted
tidal wetlands by an opening through the existing dike. Conclusions regarding
the effects of such a connection on wetland tidal elevations include:
a. If the wetlands are connected, water surface elevations inInner Bolsa Bay and the DFG muted tidal cell will rise about0.15 ft higher than if the two regions are not connected,
b. The proposed full tidal wetlands are unaffected by such aconnection between the wetlands, and
c. The proposed muted tidal wetlands will experience about a0.1 ft decrease in maximum water surface elevation as thisvolume is permitted to flow into Inner Bolsa Bay.
100-Year flood flow water surface elevations
70. Concern exists regarding maximum flood flow elevations resulting
from the 100-year flood flow (9,710 cfs) occurring on the EGG-WFCC at maximum
spring tide conditions. Levee elevations must be established to preclude
overtopping. Assuming culverts will not be closed to prevent flood flow from
entering the wetlands, conclusions include the following:
a. Under existing conditions, water surface elevations inHuntington Harbour increase about 0.3 ft beyond normal springtide elevations (to about 4.4 ft msl); Lake 1 and Lake 2alternatives produce about the same flood flow elevations asnormal spring tide because most of the flood discharge exitsdirectly into the Pacific Ocean at Bolsa Chica; Lake 3 hightide elevations approach those of existing flood flow,
b. Warner Avenue bridge restricts flow from Outer Bolsa Bay,causing water surface elevations in Outer Bolsa Bay toincrease beyond normal spring tide for existing conditions byabout 3.0 ft (from about 4.1 to about 7.1 ft msl); Lake 1 andLake 2 alternatives result in flood elevations approximatingthose of normal spring tide; Lake 3 high tide elevationsapproach those of existing flood flows,
.. For existing flood flows, Inner Bolsa Bay and the DFG mutedtidal cell high water surface elevations increase from about1.0 to about 6.7 ft msl; Lake 1 and Lake 2 increase high tideelevations beyond normal spring tides by about 0.5 and 1.0 ft,respectively; Lake 3 alternative approximates the existinghigh tide flood flow elevation,
d. Lake 1 and Lake 2 alternatives provide for increases in highwater elevation beyond normal spring tide in the proposedfull tidal wetlands of about 0.2 and 0.4 ft, to about 3.6 and3.8 ft msl, respectively; Lake 3 alternative causes anincrease of about 3.4 ft, to about 6.7 ft msl, and
97
e. Lake 1 and Lake 2 alternatives provide for increases in highwater elevation beyond normal spring tide in the proposedmuted tidal wetlands of about 0.3 and 0.6 ft, to about 1.8 and2.1 ft msl, respectively; Lake 3 alternative causes anincrease of about 5.0 ft, to about 6.5 ft msl.
100-Year flood flow average channel velocities
71. Conclusions regarding maximum average channel velocities resulting
from the 100-year flood flow on the EGG-WFCC include:
a. For existing conditions at the PCH bridge at Anaheim Bay,maximum average channel velocities increase from about2.8 ft per sec for maximum spring tides to about 5.0 ft persec for flood flows; Lake 1, Lake 2, and Lake 3 conceptsresult in maximum average channel velocities of 3.0, 3.3, and5.0 ft per sec, respectively; these average channel velocitiesdo not consider spiral flow around bends which may result ingreater localized velocities,
. For existing conditions in Huntington Harbour, maximum averagechannel velocities increase from about 1.5 ft per sec formaximum spring tides to about 3.5 ft per sec for flood flows;Lake 1, Lake 2, and Lake 3 concepts result in maximum averagechannel velocities of 1.7, 2.0, and 3.5 ft per sec, respec-tively,
£. Restrictions caused by Warner Avenue bridge increase maximumaverage channel velocities for existing conditions from 1.6 to11.6 ft per sec; Lake 1, Lake 2, and Lake 3 concepts resultin maximum average velocities of 4.9, 6.5, and 11.4 ft persec, respectively,
. For existing conditions, maximum average channel velocitiesin Outer Bolsa Bay increase from 1.4 ft per sec under normalspring tide conditions to 2.3 ft per sec for flood flows;Lake 1, Lake 2, and Lake 3 concepts provide for maximumaverage channel velocities of 1.7, 1.9, and 2.2 ft per sec,respectively,
e. Scour of soft sediments in Outer Bolsa Bay which may resultfrom increased flow velocities could be prevented by channelstabilization measures at either or both ends of the bay, and
. Maximum average channel velocities in the non-navigableentrance channel at Bolsa Chica for Lake i and Lake 2(6.7 and 8.2 ft per sec, respectively, are of sufficientmagnitude to reestablish design dimensions of the channel.These high velocities may keep the entrance channel open onlya short time; a 100-year opening frequency is not sufficientto prevent closure at other times.

Presently existing water quality assessment
72. Three categories of water quality problems presently existing or
potentially arising need to be considered in evaluating impacts of proposed
alternatives to develop and enhance the wetlands of Bolsa Chica. These condi-
tions have been previously addressed in the main report, Report No. 3.
a. Dissolved oxygen standards and criteria are violatedoccasionally in Outer Bolsa Bay, and in the deeper waters ofHuntington Harbour, during the summer months. An additionalocean entrance will provide a source of water with higherdissolved oxygen concentrations. However, additionaldevelopment will potentially increase biological oxygen demandsources to the area (increased vessel wastes and runoff),unless standard control measures are provided.
b. Certain trace metals (lead, zinc, arsenic, and cadmium), andorganic toxicants (chlordane and organochlorine) are detectedin sediments throughout the area. TBT is observed in local-ized portions of Huntington Harbour, but has been prohibitedand should decline in the future. Increased flushing with anadditional ocean entrance will tend to mediate existingsediment problems associated with system toxicants.
. Low flushing in the wetlands has resulted in stagnationconditions in the most interior portions of the wetlands.Primary productivity within the wetlands may be nutrient-limited without sufficient tidal exchange. This situationwill be significantly improved with an additional oceanentrance at Bolsa Chica.
Assessment of Lake Plan transport characteristics
73. DYNTRAN simulations were performed to evaluate the impacts of the
transport and mixing characteristics of Lake 1, Lake 2, and Lake 3 alterna-
tives on water quality in the Huntington Harbour-Bolsa Bay complex. Overall
residence time (water age) was calculate for the whole system, and transport
of runoff from the EGG-WFCC was simulated as the flood channel has previously
been shown to be a major source of toxic materials which are transported into
the wetlands. These simulations only addressed the potential impacts of
circulation changes in the system on water quality. No attempt was made to
estimate the potential increases of pollutant loadings associated with
recreational use increases.
a. The three Lake Plan alternative concepts have no apparentnegative impacts on water age in sensitive areas ofHuntington Harbour.
99
k. Both Lake 1 and Lake 2 concepts provide for significantreductions in water residence times in the existing mutedtidal wetlands (Inner Bolsa Bay) compared to existingconditions. Both also provide for significant reductions inwater age in the proposed wetland enhancement regions at BolsaBay compared to the existing muted tidal wetlands.
c. Lake 3 (entrance channel closed) water age in the proposednew wetland enhancement areas is greater than that presentlyfound within the existing muted tidal wetlands (Inner BolsaBay), indicating water quality in the proposed new wetlandsfor the Lake 3 concept may be slightly degraded relative towater quality of the existing muted tidal wetlands.
d. The Lake Plan alternative concepts provide a very effectivebuffer to the inflow of flood discharge from the EGG-WFCC intothe wetlands. Dilution of this inflow is much greater for allthe Lake Plan configurations than under existing conditions.
Lake 3 perspective
74. The Lake 3 concept assumes that the proposed entrance channel at
Bolsa Chica associated with either the Lake 1 or Lake 2 concept has closed.
Velocities resulting from spring tide conditions will be sufficient to cause
erosion of bottom material under Warner Avenue bridge (up to 4.8 ft per sec),
and in portions of Outer Bolsa Bay (up to 1.7 ft per sec). Stabilization
measures to preclude scouring should be included as part of project construc-
tion.
75. Velocities resulting from the 100-year flood flow under Lake 3
conditions occurring at high spring tide would be excessive from the PCH
bridge at Anaheim Bay through Outer Bolsa Bay, approaching 5.1 ft per sec
under the PCH bridge, 3.5 ft per sec in Huntington Harbour, 11.4 ft per sec
under Warner Avenue bridge, and 2.2 ft per sec in Outer Bolsa Bay. Scour
prevention measures for the bridges, and channel stabilization measures for
Outer Bolsa Bay, should be designed and included as part of project construc-
tion.
76. The probability of the 100-year flood occurring at high spring
tide, with a simultaneous inability to reopen the proposed entrance channel at
Bolsa Chica, is exceedingly low. This situation may be important from the
standpoint of bridge scour, but should be of no concern regarding swimming or
water age. It is possible that heavy rains and flood conditions may follow
high waves which have closed the proposed entrance channel at Bolsa Chica;
hence, closure of the entrance channel and a flood is not an impossible
100
situation. However, the entrance channel could be reopened immediately
following a storm to alleviate excessively high velocities throughout Bolsa
Bay. Even if the 100-year flood occurred and the proposed entrance channel at
Bolsa China were not reopened immediately, scour expected to result from high
velocities could be prevented by various channel stabilization measures
provided as part of project construction.
Summary Conclusions
77. The development of either Lake 1 (350-ft wide entrance channel) or
Lake 2 (200-ft wide entrance channel) new non-navigable entrance channel
system to Bolsa Bay, with associated marinas, full tidal, and muted tidal
wetland enhancement, is feasible from engineering, hydrodynamic, and water
quality standpoints investigated by this study. Any potential for scour
resulting from high velocities near bridges or in Outer Bolsa Bay under the
Lake 3 concept (where the proposed Lake 1 or Lake 2 entrance !hannel at Bolsa
Chica has closed) could be prevented by channel stabilization measures
installed as psrt of project construction. Since the entrance channel could
be reopened immediately following closure by a storm, other related environ-
mental elements such as water age may not be adversely impacted. The Bolsa
Bay complex will provide for multiple public and private uses with an emphasis
on wildlife habitat enhancement, public recreation, coastal access, and water
dependent residential development.
