Introducing our EWMP Rio Hondo/San Gabriel River Water Quality Group A presentation by:
Early action projects Cost and potential funding strategies Outreach events Local support
Our Water Qual i t y Group’s S tory
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Discuss location of the group and that it is located within two major watersheds. Discuss why this group formed (foothills versus coastal – can monitor before it hits the beach) -Sawpit is our ocean -Group supports clean water/environment
Water Quality Priorities
We capture pollutant with the highest load or
that is most difficult to treat
All other water quality priorities are addressed
Limiting Pollutant Concept
Then
If
Limiting Pollutants
Los Angeles River = Zinc San Gabriel River = Lead
Determine required
volume/load reduction
Select and implement
control measures
Collect monitoring
data through CIMP
Calibrate model using water quality
data
Control Measures and RAA
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Used LSPC component of WMMS. Calibrated hydrologic parameters along with water quality parameters. Verified calibration by comparing modeled values to historical data. Required load/volume reduction is based on the 85th percentile, 24-hour storm event or the 90th percentile load event Use this slide to discuss lack of monitoring data
Proposed Control Measures
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Discuss regional BMP implementation schedule Complete all projects in LAR Watershed before first milestone (50% metals in 2024) Complete 2 projects in SGR Watershed before second milestone (35% metals in 2020) and 2 before next milestone (65% metals in 2023) Note first deadline is in 2017 (10% metals) – address with distributed BMPs
Detention Basin Permeable Pavers Green Streets Permeable Sidewalks

Outreach events were held in collaboration with the Upper SGR groups and included NGOs, assembly member representatives, Regional Board staff, other interested stakeholders, news reporters, and consultants Allowed interested stakeholders to comment on project selection process and concepts
Local Support
Members have been authorized to submit the
EWMP and are committed to doing what can feasibly be
afforded
