Current Projects from ULAR WMG

The Valley Village Park Stormwater Capture Project’s 455-acre tributary area consists of several catch basins that drain to storm pipe BI 0463. The storm pipe runs directly underneath Valley Village Park, which makes the park an ideal site for a stormwater capture project.

The proposed project consists of a diversion of stormwater runoff in the Alhambra Wash Channel to potential configurations of bioswales, mechanical treatment systems, storage cisterns, and subsurface infiltration galleries in Vincent Lugo Park at Prospect Avenue and Wells Street.

The Walnut Park Pocket Project involves the construction of a brand new park within a currently undeveloped parcel in a disadvantaged community. Beneath the park, a series of infiltration drywells will be installed to capture both dry and wet weather runoff for a 31-acre drainage area, in what should amount to approximately 14 acre-feet per year of annual water capture.
