underground manufactured infiltration system, and removing/replacing the existing baseball field and irrigation system. The infiltration system will serve a drainage area greater than 400 acres and recharge groundwater sources with approximately 200 acre-feet of stormwater annually. The system has a single storm capture capacity greater than 24 acre-feet. Additional tasks include: utility and community coordination; conducting a preliminary design report; performing environmental studies that meet CEQA requirements; obtaining LACFCD connection permits; providing topographical surveys; conducting a geotechnical investigation report; developing a plan for landscape and irrigation improvements; providing potholing services; preparing PS&Es; preparing an O&M manual for proposed structural stormwater BMPs, pretreatment devices, and stormwater infiltration system; and providing bid and construction support. City of Santa Monica Los Amigos Park Storm Drain Runoff Harvesting and Direct Use Demonstration This project was the recipient of awards from the ASCE, CASQA, and Storm Water Solutions magazine. Design support providing construction support for the design of a demonstration project that tapped into an existing storm drain line running along a school athletic field and the City of Santa Monica's Los Amigos Park, rerouted stormwater and dry - weather flows from the storm drain through a vortex system into a cistern, treated the stormwater and dry -weather runoff, and delivered highly -treated non -potable water to the park irrigation system and indoor plumbing for toilet flushing. The project's purpose was to demonstrate the feasibility of harvesting local water resources such as storm drain flows to decrease potable water use, reduce polluted urban runoff discharge to the receiving water body, and protect the future of California's water supplies. Other tasks performed included: developing a project study report, performing a geotechnical investigation and utility search, preparing design PS&Es, obtaining regulatory approvals, public education and outreach, preparing a SAP, assisting the City in report preparation, and designing educational signage. City of Santa Barbara Bohneft Park Stormwater Treatment Staff Engineer for design plans and construction specifications for the stormwater treatment system in the 2.25-acre Bohnett Park, located within the Westside neighborhood of Santa Barbara. The project system captures, treats, and infiltrates storm water from two 18-inch storm drains. Tasks performed included checking the hydrology using Los Angeles County methods, calculating infiltration scenarios, and modeling in MODRAT and Hydraflow. Additional tasks included project management and coordination, schedule and budget tracking, and coordination with the City Project Manager; data review of storm drain records and LiDAR maps, utilities within the park, design plans for park improvements, existing geotechnical information, and the City's Stormwater BMP Guidance Manual; drainage report preparation for the stormwater capture and treatment system design and existing site conditions; geotechnical investigation including borings 15 feet below existing grade for soil classification and infiltration at three different locations within the park; preparation of two conceptual design alternatives; and preparation of PS&Es for the agreed upon alternative. This project was completed within budget and one month ahead of schedule.
