Received
Present Land Use
The Project site is located exclusively within the public rights-of-way of Lankershim Boulevard and select adjacent streets extending approximately two to three blocks to the east and west of Lankershim Boulevard.
Document Description
The Project involves installation of stormwater infrastructure consisting of approximately 8,000 linear feet of storm drain main line, 14 drywell systems with 110 total drywells, and 33 catch basins as well as green street elements consisting of approximately 315 street trees, 232 parkway infiltration planters, and 15 vegetated median islands. The purpose of the proposed Project is to improve the City’s water quality by capturing and infiltrating stormwater to target 80 percent load reduction for the primary pollutant (zinc) of the 402-acre tributary area into the San Fernando Groundwater Basin. In addition, the proposed Project would provide infrastructure to help manage flood risk, increase local water supply through groundwater recharge, improve downstream receiving water quality by reducing pollutant loads, and provide green infrastructure through tree planting and landscaping improvements. Attaining these Project objectives and goals would contribute to implementation of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power Stormwater Capture Master Plan, 2015 Urban Water Management Plan, and the Mayor’s 2019 Green New Deal, including helping to achieve compliance with the Upper Los Angeles River Area total maximum daily loads established by the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board.
