SAN FERNANDO VALLEY : House Panel OKs Funds for Three Recreation Projects
Hansen Dam, the Sepulveda Basin and the Los Angeles River--three high-profile San Fernando Valley recreation projects--would receive nearly $5 million under a 1993 appropriations bill approved by a key House of Representatives committee this week.
The House Appropriations Committee approved $2.28 million for development of Hansen Dam in the northeast Valley, $2 million for improvements at the Sepulveda Basin in the central Valley and $500,000 for two studies of ways to better utilize the Los Angeles River.
The funds were included in the Energy and Water Development bill, which will be taken up by the full House next week. The Senate will draft its own version of the spending measure, and the two will be reconciled in a conference committee by members of both chambers.
