Caruthers Park Stormwater Capture <br />Bellflower, CA <br />EXPERIENCE <br />Tetra Tech provided pre -design, design, and construction support services <br />for this Caltrans funded stormwater capture project at Caruthers Park in <br />Bellflower, CA. <br />The Caruthers Park Water Capture Project consists of a gravity diversion <br />from two separate Los Angeles County Flood Control District storm drain <br />lines; a 72" RCP line that drains 261 acres of the Los Cerritos Channel, <br />and a 38' wide rectangular concrete channel that drains 2,995 acres of the <br />Lower San Gabriel River. The diverted flows pass through a pretreatment <br />system to remove trash, debris, and sediment. The runoff is then passed <br />into a large buried multi -chambered storage/infiltration facility that will <br />be treated and used to irrigate the park. Flows in excess of the required <br />irrigation demands will pass into the infiltration gallery to be exfiltrated <br />through the soil to eventually combine with the ground water. The system <br />uses active controls to monitor the weather conditions and empty the facility <br />through a secured cloud -based system. This project helps the City comply <br />with their bacteria and metals TMDL, while providing additional benefits of <br />potable water offset and park revitalization. <br />City of Santa Ana <br />2 O TETRA TECH <br />
