system is expected to capture approximately 115,600 cubic feet of stormwater runoff. Tasks
<br />include: review of the Geotechnical Investigation Report and Percolation Test Results,
<br />developing project concepts for diversion and bio-filtration systems, conducting an
<br />environmental study, performing hydrologic and hydraulic analyses and preparing a report,
<br />coordinating with the LACDPW, performing a topographic survey, conducting a utility search for
<br />the project site to identify existing or planned future utility conflicts along the proposed project
<br />components, preparing PS&Es, providing community outreach support, and providing
<br />construction support services.
<br />City of Santa Barbara Bohnett Park Stormwater Treatment Project Assistant Project
<br />Manager for design plans and construction specifications for the stormwater treatment system in
<br />the 2.25-acre Bohnett Park, located within the Westside neighborhood of Santa Barbara. The
<br />project system captures, treats, and infiltrates storm water from two 18-inch storm drains.
<br />Tasks performed included checking the hydrology using Los Angeles County methods,
<br />calculating infiltration scenarios, and modeling in MODRAT and Hydraflow. Additional tasks
<br />included project management and coordination, schedule and budget tracking, and coordination
<br />with the City Project Manager; data review of storm drain records and LOAR maps, utilities
<br />within the park, design plans for park improvements, existing geotechnical information, and the
<br />City's Stormwater BMP Guidance Manual; drainage report preparation for the stormwater
<br />capture and treatment system design and existing site conditions; geotechnical investigation
<br />including borings 15 feet below existing grade for soil classification and infiltration at three
<br />different locations within the park; preparation of two conceptual design alternatives; and
<br />preparation of PS&Es for the agreed upon alternative. This project was completed within
<br />budget and one month ahead of schedule.
<br />City of Santa Monica Los Amigos Park Stormwater Harvesting and Direct Use
<br />Demonstration Assistant Project Manager for the design of a demonstration project that taps
<br />into an existing storm drain line running along a school athletic field and the City of Santa
<br />Monica's Los Amigos Park, reroutes stormwater and dry -weather flows from the storm drain
<br />through a vortex system into a cistern, treats the stormwater and dry -weather runoff, and
<br />delivers highly -treated water to the park irrigation system and indoor plumbing for toilet flushing.
<br />The project's purpose is to demonstrate the feasibility of harvesting local water resources such
<br />as storm drain flows to decrease potable water use, reduce polluted urban runoff discharge to
<br />the receiving water body, and protect the future of California's water supplies. Tasks included:
<br />developing a project study report, a utility search, preparing design Plans, Specifications, and
<br />Estimates (PS&Es), obtaining regulatory approvals, public education and outreach, construction
<br />support, preparing a Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP), assisting with report preparation, and
<br />designing educational signage.
<br />Los Angeles County Public Works Grant Support Services Project Manager responsible for
<br />the preparation and submittal of grant applications for multiple parks projects for Los Angeles
<br />County Public Works (LACPW). Proposition 1 project locations include Adventure Park, Walnut
<br />Park, and Alondra Park, and Proposition 68 project locations include Bassett High School.
<br />Katie and CWE staff maintains and regularly updates a log of grant opportunities with
<br />information pertaining to requirements, eligibility, goals, funding limits, timelines, and more.
<br />CWE's goal in developing these grant applications is to champion stormwater capture (and
<br />reuse) projects, which will ultimately serve to further our mission of Creating a Better Tomorrow,
<br />Today, while saving our public agency clients substantial funds.
