Santa Monica Clean Beaches Initiative <br />Santa Monica, CA <br />City of Santa Ana <br />EXPERIENCE <br />Tetra Tech designed and oversaw the construction of the Clean Beaches <br />Initiative Project for two separate drainage basins at the Santa Monica <br />Pier and Pico-Kenter Drainage Basins. This project is a major effort to <br />improve beach water quality from storm water runoff and increase the City's <br />drought resiliency. Wet -weather flows are treated and diverted from the Pier <br />watershed to the Santa Monica Urban Runoff Recycling Facility (SMURRF) <br />or the sanitary sewer. <br />The Santa Monica Pier watershed improvements includes a flow diversion <br />structure that directs stormwater from the 106-acre Pier watershed into a <br />subsurface storage facility with a storage capacity of 1.6 million gallons. <br />The stored water is pumped to SMURRF and distributed for non -potable <br />uses or to the sanitary sewer. The surface was improved with a new <br />parking lot that is consistent withx the City's Zoning and Municipal Code, <br />which included improvements for parking lot lighting, permeable pavement, <br />andr landscaping features. <br />The Pico-Kenter project components consist of a diversion structure to <br />divert 80,000 gallons of the "first flush" of urban runoff for treatment at <br />SMURRF and ultimately distributed for non -potable uses. A portable pump <br />was provided to drain the post -storm pond that forms downstream of the <br />outfall at the beach. <br />This project was funded by the Proposition 40 Clean Beaches Program, <br />with a local match from the City Clean Beaches and Oceans Parcel Tax <br />Fund. This project was selected for the Envision Gold Award, and the <br />APWA Project of the Year Award. <br />ITETRA TECH <br />
