SUMMARY OF REQUEST:

BACKGROUND:
The City was successful in securing funding within the FY 1999/2000 State budget in the
amount of$450,000 to improve beach and ocean water quality. Of the amount, $150,000
was dedicated for a comprehensive study to look at the San Gabriel River watershed and
develop strategies for combating water pollution at the sources along with a Master Plan
for the City's ongoing water quality improvement program. The remaining amount,
$300,000, was allocated for a debris boom on the San Gabriel River. This funding can
only be used for planning,environmental and design.
On June 27, 2001, staff met with the City of Long Beach, Los Angeles County Flood
Control, and Orange County PFRD, and other stakeholders concerning the debris/trash in
the channel that pollutes city beaches. At that strategy meeting, the stakeholders agreed to
move forward with the preparation of a preliminary design report. Attached is the scope
of work prepared by Moffatt Nichol that will be forwarded to the Coastal Conservancy
for approval of the work program. It is staff's intention to encourage other agencies to
participate in the project and to use the report as a basis to apply for additional funding
opportunities.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds are available in the grant from the Coastal Conservancy for this work.
