Project Description Treatment Plant- Project involves capturing dry-weather runoff near confluence of Medea and Palo Comado Creeks. Treated runoff from a drainage area of 2,370 acres will be used to irrigate existing street medians, and proposed linear park landscape. Linear Park- Approx. 450 lf of LACFCD flood channel will be capped to create pedestrian & equestrian trails, and native landscaping that will be irrigated with treat runoff. Wetlands- Located adjacent to treatment plant, will reduce pollutant loadings for low flows and small storms through infiltration and evaporation. Partners: Los Angeles County Flood Control District & Public Works State Assemblyman Richard Bloom
