Document Description
The project will divert off-site surface runoff from a portion of the Ballona Creek Watershed, via a stormwater lift station, to a pretreatment facility for screening of trash and sediment removal. The pretreated runoff will be stored in underground detention tanks. Pretreated water will then be transferred to a biofiltration/infiltration system for additional treatment. Vegetation for the bioretention/infiltration system will be site-appropriate native plants designed to survive stresses such as frequent periods of inundation during runoff events and drying during inter-event periods. Treated water will be collected through an underground capture system and returned to the detention tanks. Treated runoff can then be beneficially reused through the irrigation of the adjacent Westside Park or returned to Ballona Creek via a tributary stormdrain.
