A community effort to cleanup a trash-filled homeless encampment in Newport Beach has hit a snag, as the area is environmentally sensitive.
Orange County Public Works officials have already put plans into action, hopeful to clean up the growing encampment on the environmentally sensitive marshland next to the Santa Ana River. But, they say that the land falls within the jurisdiction of the Army Corps of Engineers. 'We're ready and able to clean this up and connect the individuals living in the marsh with housing and supportive services today,' said Alyssa Napuri, the Deputy Chief of Staff for Supervisor Katrina Foley.
'We understand the urgency of the matter, and its importance to the local community,' said a statement from the US Army Corps of Engineers. 'This coordination has occurred, and USACE is in the final stage of setting a clean-up date.'They say that cleanup is now scheduled for April 26 and 27. Footage from the scene shows heaps of trash, broken down bicycles and tarps all over the bank. It was slated for cleanup this week, but Supervisor Foley said that has now changed.
