San Fernando Regional Park Infiltration Project CWE Project Location: San Fernando, California Project Start Date: 1 December 2018 Project Completion: 4 October 2023 Project Team: City of San Fernando, CWE, Ortiz Enterprises, Inc., C Below, Inc., Terracon Consultants, Inc., Linkture Corporation Project Summary: The City of San Fernando (City) is implementing the San Fernando Regional Park Infiltration Project (Project). The Project was identified in the Upper Los Angeles River (ULAR) Enhanced Water - shed Management Program (EWMP) Plan as a priority regional project and will assist the ULAR group in addressing applicable Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) and water quality priorities. The primary goals of the Project were to improve water quality while providing multiple bene - fits. The Project will divert and capture wet- and dry-weather runoff from over 940 acres, effectively reducing pollutant loads that would otherwise enter Pacoima Wash and the Los Angeles River. The captured runoff will be pretreated and then discharged into a subsurface storage system that will facilitate infiltration at the San Fernando Regional Park, resulting in groundwater recharge. In addition to recharge and water quality benefits, the Project will have additional benefits including flood control benefits and public outreach benefits (outreach events and permanent signage). Impact: The 9.5-acre park includes the San Fernando Regional Pool and Community Center, a children’s play area, and athletic fields. Surrounded by urban development, the park is bound by a Metropolitan Transit Au- thority (MTA) railway to the west along First Street, industrial parks on the south and east corners, and medium-density housing to the north on Park Avenue. The Project ensures continued use of San Fernando Recreation Park by the DAC seeking respite from the stress of a highly urbanized environment. The Project includes the following improvements: estab- lishment of landscapes around the subsurface storage system, restoration of the baseball field, restoration of the existing irrigation system, replace - ment and restoration of light poles and electrical conduit, and restoration of streets and sidewalks. The Project enhances the community’s quality of life by encouraging recreational activities that help maintain a healthy community.
