DISCUSSION
The California Department of Boating and Waterways (DBAW) acquired the Marine Stadium boat-launching site in 1973, as part of the Alamitos Bay Boundary Settlement Agreement. It is approximately two (2) acres in size and is located on the northwest corner of the intersection of Appian Way and Bay Shore Avenue in the City of Long Beach, as shown on the Vicinity Map attached as Exhibit A. The City of Long Beach (the City) operates and maintains the boat launching facilities in a cooperative agreement with DBAW. The boat launching facilities mainly serve personal watercraft and ski boats. The City also hosts many boating activities and special events (including rowing competitions, festive regattas, water skiing, and power boat races) using these launching facilities.
The Marine Stadium East Launch Ramp Improvements provide repairs and site improvements at the Marine Stadium East Launch Ramp. The improvements will repair the eroded holes in the approximately 500-foot long riprap embankment above the line of thriving intertidal habitat. The existing 75-foot wide concrete launch ramp will also be repaired and sealed. Other improvements include the construction of a concrete apron at the existing launch ramp at landside, pavement and sidewalk improvements, and installation of entry signs and concrete benches. Repairs and site improvements will greatly enhance safety, access, and quality to boating activities and special events in Marine Stadium East and positively affect the community.
