GEVik Bapna <br />PE, ENV SP, CPSWQ, QSD/P <br />City of Santa Monica Los Amigos Park Stormwater Harvesting and Direct Use <br />Demonstration Project Manager for the design of a demonstration project that tapped into an <br />existing storm drain line running along a school athletic field and the City of Santa Monica's Los <br />Amigos Park, rerouted stormwater and dry -weather flows from the storm drain through a vortex <br />system into a cistern, treated the stormwater and dry -weather runoff, and delivered highly - <br />treated water to the park irrigation system and indoor plumbing for toilet flushing. The project's <br />purpose was to demonstrate the feasibility of harvesting local water resources such as storm <br />drain flows to decrease potable water use, reduce polluted urban runoff discharge to the <br />receiving water body, and protect the future of California's water supplies. Tasks performed <br />included: developing a project study report, performing a geotechnical investigation and utility <br />search, preparing design PS&Es, obtaining regulatory approvals, public education and <br />outreach, construction support, preparing a Sampling and Analysis Plan, assisting the City in <br />report preparation, and designing educational signage. <br />City of San Fernando Regional Park Infiltration Principal -in -Charge for design services for <br />the San Fernando Regional Park, which consists of installing an underground manufactured <br />infiltration system, and removing/replacing the existing baseball field and irrigation system. The <br />infiltration system will serve a drainage area greater than 400-acres and recharge groundwater <br />sources with approximately 200 acre-feet of stormwater annually. The system has a single <br />storm capture capacity greater than 24 acre-feet. Tasks include: utility and community <br />coordination; conducting a preliminary design report; performing environmental studies that <br />meet CEQA requirements; obtaining permits; providing topographical surveys; conducting a <br />geotechnical investigation report; developing a plan for landscape and irrigation improvements; <br />preparing a hydrologic and hydraulic study; providing potholing services; preparing PS&Es; <br />preparing an O&M manual for proposed structural stormwater BMPs, pretreatment devices, and <br />stormwater infiltration system; and providing bid and construction support. <br />City of Beverly Hills Burton Way Median Green Street Project Manager for the design of <br />bioswales and green street improvements to capture and retain urban runoff on the Burton Way <br />median in the City of Beverly Hills. These improvements will assist the City in complying with <br />the Ballona Creek Watershed EWMP and Ballona Creek Metals TMDL. Designing aesthetic <br />improvements with efficient landscape, including drought -tolerant plants that reduce outdoor <br />irrigation use and help the City meet water conservation objectives. Runoff will be used for <br />median irrigation, reducing the need for potable water and there will be up to eight acre-feet of <br />storm water storage beneath the median. The multi -benefit design incorporates walking trails, <br />public art displays and an aesthetically pleasing landscape. <br />City of Los Angeles Garvanza Park Rainwater Capture and Use Project Manager <br />responsible for assisting LA Sanitation — City of Los Angeles and North East Trees to determine <br />the feasibility of retrofitting Garvanza Park with subregional stormwater management BMPs to <br />enhance urban and stormwater runoff water quality from an 85-acre watershed for Total <br />Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) compliance. Managed the design of a drainage system to route <br />runoff into a pretreatment BMP system consisting of a designed pump station, hydrodynamic <br />separator and settling basin, one water tight subsurface detention gallery, and one subsurface - <br />infiltration gallery for onsite landscape irrigation use and infiltration, Supervisory Control and <br />Data Acquisition (SCADA), and inline monitoring systems. <br />
