environmental education in urban areas throughout California.

are $1,228,546. In addition, a sound attenuation wall will be built and is estimated to cost �/�
$300,000. The City of Seal Beach will be applying to the State for the total amount
$1,528,546. The project would be scheduled for Fiscal Year 2003/2004.
