Developer Hearthside Homes is moving forward with plans to build 387 homes on the upper portion of the two-tier Bolsa Chica Mesa, while letting the courts decide the fate of the rest of its land. A marina, hotel and 5,700 homes were envisioned on the upper and lower tiers of the Bolsa Chica Mesa. Plans have been repeatedly scaled back because of legal challenges by environmentalists.

A power company seeking approval to restart two gas-fired generators in Huntington Beach on Thursday flatly refused a city request for a $14-million guarantee that it will remedy any environmental problems should studies link the plant to polluted shores. AES Corp., California's largest private generator, also opposed the California Energy Commission's plan to put a five-year cap on any fast-track permit it grants to refire the 50-year-old generators formerly run by Southern California Edison.
