Document Description
The project involves rehabilitation of a City of Torrance detention basin that discharges to the Herondo Stormwater drain, then conveys the runoff into the Santa Monica Bay, a SWRCB impaired water body. The rehabilitation will involve the introduction of 4 fenced viewing platforms (one with a pergola) 2 trash interceptors and basin inserts, an infiltration basin and outlet structure, a crushed aggregation access road, a sump pump and a 1.5" recycled irrigation pipe, as well as the introduction of native vegetation and Marsh-like landscaped areas. The rehab is expected to result in reduction of stagnant water (improvement in vector control), reduction of bacterial concentrations (via treatment of wetlands and infiltration), decrease in amount of runoff (via infiltration Basins) and improvements in aesthetics and public access of areas for educational uses for field trips and pre-scheduled group visits.
