2.b.i
For parks identified as regional stormwater capture opportunities in the City’s SWQMP, coordinate with
Public Works to help implement those opportunities while routing on-site stormwater flows to these regional
stormwater systems for efficient on-site stormwater management compliance.
Short-to-Mid Term
(0-10 years)
2.b.ii
For parks not identified as regional stormwater capture opportunities in the City’s SWQMP, follow the County
of Los Angeles LID hierarchy for selecting on-site stormwater capture systems. Prioritize on-site stormwater
retention through infiltration and harvest and use wherever feasible.
Short-to-Mid Term
(0-10 years)
2.b.iii
Continue to design and implement preferred stormwater capture BMPs (e.g. rain gardens) at parks facilities
for effective implementation and maintenance.
Short-to-Mid Term
(0-10 years)
2.b.iv
Increase installation of gutters along existing structures and rain barrels for passive use of captured rainwater
for existing parks and facilities.
Short Term (0-5 years)
2.b.v
Identify opportunities for signage, receptacles, and trash screens to keep park space, and the surrounding
community and environment, free of trash.
Short Term (0-5 years)
2.b.vi
Implement strategies to tie existing park space to Ballona Creek and educate park users and the community
about the Ballona Creek watershed. For new park space consider locations near the creek to create
opportunities for green infrastructure and patches for natural habitat.
Long Term (10-15 years)
2.b.vii
Coordinate with City leadership, multiple departments, and grant consultants on identifying optimal funding
for regional stormwater capture capital projects. Consider utilizing Measure CW to address maintenance
costs, while pursuing Measure W funding and state/federal grants listed in the City’s SWQMP for capital
costs. For parks with more significant redesign needs, identify stormwater opportunities at these parks for
increased likelihood of competitive and successful grant applications with multiple stormwater, recreation,
and equity benefits.
