NORTH SHORE – (INT) - Geophysical survey work has started on the first major revitalization project for the Salton Sea’s northern shore in Riverside County.

The vision of the project is to build an approximately 156-acre lake with both shallow and deep-water habitat. The lake would restore and manage habitat for fish and birds, control dust, provide recreational opportunities, and revitalize the northern end of the Salton Sea as well as the community of North Shore.

The project is being implemented by Riverside County on behalf of the Salton Sea Authority, with more than 19-million dollars in funding from the California Department of Water Resources.
