Document Description
LADWP, in partnership with the City of Los Angeles, Bureau of Engineering, Los Angeles Sanitation and Environment, and Department of Recreation and Parks, propose to implement the Program. The Program would include construction of stormwater capture facilities at nine City-owned parks to help capture surface flow and divert stormwater runoff from the Tujunga Central Branch Channel to recharge the San Fernando Groundwater Basin and assist the City in complying with its Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit requirements. All nine parks are located in the east San Fernando Valley along State Route 170. These parks include: David M. Gonzales Recreation Center; Fernangeles Park; Strathern Park North; Whitsett Fields Park North; Valley Plaza Park North; Valley Plaza Park South; Alexandria Park; North Hollywood Park; and Valley Village Park. The stormwater capture facilities would consist of underground infiltration structures, stormwater pre-treatment devices, diversion structures, conveyance pipes, and pump stations, where needed. The impact areas within each park would be fully restored to maintain their recreational uses following construction.
The Program is necessary to meet the City’s water resiliency, reliability, and sustainability goals, as established in LADWP’s Stormwater Capture Master Plan and Urban Water Management Plan, the Upper Los Angeles River Enhanced Watershed Management Plan, and Mayor Eric Garcetti’s City of Los Angeles Green New Deal.
