Implementation in Los Angeles County
• The Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board required the
development of implementation plans, with the selection of a compliance
method required by 11/20/17 and the submittal of jurisdictional maps
required by 2/18/19
• Cities were originally aiming to install Full Capture devices in 10% of high
priority catch basins within their jurisdiction per year; with the passage of
the Safe Clean Water Program (Measure W), this will likely be acceleratcu
• Some LA cities (e.g. Bellflower) have already achieved full compliance
3
Implementation in Orange County
• Cities have established an ad hoc group that has been meeting several times a year
• Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) has been administering a
voluntary grant program to fund city and county projects that control
transportation-generated pollution since FY 2011-2012
• Many Full Capture Devices have been installed; some partial capture devices have
been replaced with Full Capture Devices
• Seal Beach has installed 55 full capture catch basin devices to date and has a grant
pending for an additional 48
• Potential regional grant opportunities to accelerate installation of Full Capture
Devices throughout OC cities within the San Gabriel River Watershed
Takeaways
• Upstream Los Angeles cities on track to complete installation of Full
Capture devices in high priority catch basins by the mandated deadline
set by Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Board
• The Seal Beach has prepared maps identifying the priority catch basins
within its jurisdiction
• Installation of Seal Beach Full Capture Devices are underway
• The Seal Beach's efforts are on track to meet the 2030 deadline
• Homeless encampments along the river continue to be a major source
of trash and litter
