Portuguese Bend Landslide Remediation Project Draft EIR Now Available

Today, the City of Rancho Palos Verdes released a Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the proposed Portuguese Bend Landslide Remediation Project, an estimated $33 million public works project that aims to slow a continuously moving landslide that has significantly damaged homes, utilities, and infrastructure for nearly seven decades.

The Draft EIR, an informational report that studies how a proposed major construction project could affect the environment, found that the project would have no significant impacts with measures that mitigate potential impacts to a less than significant level. 

The Draft EIR is available on the City website at rpvca.gov/landslide for public review and comment for a 64-day period through April 14, 2023. Comments may be emailed to publicworks@rpvca.gov by 4:30 p.m. on the day of the deadline.
