Project Description:
This project will replace the perimeter chain link fence along the Talbert Marsh with a concrete wall. The top of the wall will have a wave-like pattern ranging between 8-feet to 11-feet tall.
Existing vegetation, landscaping, and tiered concrete block planters behind the fence will be removed. New trees, native plants, and drought resistant vegetation will be planted.
Below is a view from Brookhurst Avenue looking towards the southwest corner of Plant No. 2. The images show the current view and a rendering of the same location when the project is completed.
The wall with have stamped concrete artwork of marsh birds to embrace its location adjacent the Talbert Marsh and Pacific Ocean.
