GREATER LOS ANGELES COUNTY 2013 IRWM PLAN
2017 AMENDMENTS

1. CHAPTER 1 GOVERNANCE AND PARTICIPATION
a. Section 1.1 Background (page 1-2) - Revised to reference California Water Plan Update 2013.

As noted in the California Water Plan Update 2009 (Bulletin No. 160-09) and Update 2013:

The watersheds of the Metropolitan Los Angeles Planning Area have been subjected to some of the densest urbanization in California and have issues associated with urban runoff, groundwater contamination, and the loss of major historical ecosystems." This Plan also provides an opportunity to include information on the Region's needs and future at a scale that can contribute to the California Water Plan. b. Figure 1-2 Leadership Committee Representation (page 1-6) - Revised organization chart (attachment) and description of representation for the Lower San Gabriel and Los Angeles Rivers Subregion.

Lower San Gabriel and Los Angeles Rivers Subregion
Gateway Water Management Authority (GWMA). GWMA is the Chair of the Lower SG & LA SC. GWMA formed a joint powers authority (JPA) in 2007 in response to the State's requirement to integrate regional watershed activities such as water supply, recycled water, stormwater, conservation measures, wastewater, etc. GWMA currently has 29 cities and water agencies responsible for coordinating the regional watershed needs of 2 million people in the Gateway Region located in Southeastern Los Angeles County.

Water Replenishment District of Southern California (WRD) WRD is the Vice-Chair of the Lower SG & LA SC. WRD manages groundwater for nearly four million residents in 43 cities of Southern Los Angeles County and is the official Groundwater Level Monitoring Entity for the Central Basin and West Coast Basin.

Watershed Conservation Authority (WCA). The WCA is the Vice-Chair of the Lower SG & LA SC. WCA is a joint powers entity between the San Gabriel and Lower Los Angeles Rivers and Mountains Conservancy (RMC) and LACFCD whose focus is to provide multiple benefits such as open space, habitat restoration, and recreational opportunities in the San Gabriel and Lower Los Angeles Watersheds. c. 1.5 Stakeholder Involvement
i. Regional Stakeholder and Public Outreach (page 1-11) - Inserted new language describing the involvement of land use planning entities in information and collaboration activities with the Steering Committees.

Regional Stakeholder and Public Outreach
The majority of stakeholder input to the IRWMP is conducted at the Subregional level which is then reported to the LC through the Subregional representatives during a

Page 1 of 17 ends

GREATER LOS ANGELES COUNTY 2013 IRWM PLAN
2017 AMENDMENTS
standing LC meeting agenda items called "Subregional Reports." Since Subregional SC meetings are held locally, they increase the ability and time allowed for individual stakeholder participation. Land Use planning entities are invited to SC meetings.

Information sharing and collaboration with regional land use planning entities as described in Section 2.11 takes place primarily through the steering committee meetings._ All GLAC stakeholders and general public are also invited to attend the monthly LC meetings and can speak during the public comment period. il. Table 1-1. Subregional Steering Committee Membership (page 1-14) - Revised to reflect current list of membership (attachment).
ili. Disadvantaged Community Involvement Program (page 1-19) - Inserted a new subsection and description for the Disadvantaged Community Involvement Program above the subsection on "Tribal Outreach."
Disadvantaged Community Involvement Program
In 2016, a Disadvantaged Community Involvement Program (DACIP) Task Force for the Los Angeles-Ventura Funding Area was established to facilitate a consensus-based approach to implement a Funding Area-wide DACIP that meets the objectives of the Proposition 1 DACIP IRWM Grant Program. All three IRWM Regions (GLAC, Upper Santa Clara River, and Watersheds Coalition of Ventura County) have identified the need for resources to support a more comprehensive assessment and education process as a critical step forward in further understanding the water management needs within their disadvantaged communities, economically distressed areas, and underrepresented communities (collectively referred to as DACs) including Native American tribes, migrant and resident farmworkers, and homeless people (Map 1-4, Los Angeles-Funding Area DACIP Disadvantaged Communities). Results and lessons learned from each Region's planning efforts over the past eight years have helped frame the Funding Area's water management needs and engagement strategies to assist in addressing those needs.

For the GLAC Region DAC Committee outreach surveys and workshops were conducted. While these showed a desire from the community for Outreach and Education,
Coordination, and Technical Assistance, these surveys and workshops also showed that there are missing resources needed to fully connect and involve the community in Funding of the DACIP to carry out local outreach, partnering, and local capacity building through technical assistance will ensure the opportunity for nvolvement in IRWM planning eftorts. of DACs including Native American tribes an omeless people. The results of the DACIP efforts will be fully described in a repor after its completion in early 2021.
iv. Tribal Outreach (pages 1-19 to 1-20) - Inserted new language to reference tribes as sovereign nations and as such the government-to-government coordination that takes place with them. The recent participation of the Mission Band of Gabrielino Indians and Tongva was also included.

Tribal Outreach
A specialized task was conducted as part of the Plan Update to determine tribal stakeholders and interests in the Region and then conduct outreach to these interests in an effort-to encourage participation in ongoing IRW activities including the Plan Update.

It should be noted that Tribes are sovereign nations, and as such coordination with Tribes is on a government-to-government basis.

Page 2 of 17 ends

GREATER LOS ANGELES COUNTY 2013 IRWM PLAN
2017 AMENDMENTS
The GLAC Region contacted the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) to determine if the Region was home to any federally-recognized tribes or tribal interests.

The response from the NAHC indicated that the Region is not home to any current tribes or tribal lands but provided the contact name and intormation of several individuals listed as having tribal interests that reside within the GLAC Region. A letter was sent by the LC to each of the individuals on the listing to explain the IRWM Plan Update process, provide contact and Website information and encourage participation. Since then, the GLAC Mission Band of Gabrielino Indians and Tongva expressed interest in the GLAC IRWM process.
d. 1.8 Future Plan Updates or Amendments (page 1-25) - Inserted new language as a second paragraph and revised the third paragraph.

1.8 Future Plan Updates or Amendments
To incorporate other planning documents into the GLAC IRWMP, the Subregional Steering Committees will review and upon approval, recommend incorporation of these plans to the Leadership Committee. The Leadership Committee takes a vote to incorporate the plan. Planning documents that have been approved by the Leadership Committee through this process are included as appendices.

There are, however, on-going IRWM processes that are described in this Plan Update that could result in constant changes - such as new and modified Plan projects and prioritization and progress on Plan performance and meeting objectives and targets.

Because of the dynamic nature of these IRWM processes, this Plan Update documents the process used to allow for these changes. These project development and review processes and information on how to access current project listings and prioritizations are detailed in Chapter 5. The GLAC IRWM process for documenting plan performance and data management are included as part of Chapter 7. As part of the normal plan management activities, the benefits and impacts will be reviewed with each IRWM Plan Update.

Given the amount of resources and time necessary for full Plan updates (such as this 2013 Update) future updates will be dependent upon the need to meet changing DWR requirements and the funding available but will occur-no less frequent than every five yearsas often as necessary. Plan amendments to incorporate planning documents or additional information in response to new State IRWM Program Guidelines and eligibility requirements to qualify for funding would not automatically trigger re-adoption of the IRWMP.

2. CHAPTER 2 REGIONAL DESCRIPTION
a. 2.2 Overview
i. North Santa Monica Bay Subregion (page 2-4) - Revised to add relevant information regarding the Subregion.

Page 3 of 17 ends

GREATER LOS ANGELES COUNTY 2013 IRWM PLAN
2017 AMENDMENTS
North Santa Monica Bay Subregion
The North SM Bay differs substantially from the other Subregions with respect to land use, water supply, groundwater and surface water quality, aquatic resources, open space and recreation. Over 85 percent of the North SM Bay is still undeveloped open space; remaining land uses in the area are primarily residential and concentrated along the coastline and interior valleys where its 107,000 residents reside. There is little heavy industry. The northern headwaters of the subegion are dominated by the geologic Modelo Formation that is part of the Monterey Formation, California's primary petroleum source rock, which is a known source of natural contaminants. As a result, Thethe North SM Bay depends almost entirely on imported water due to naturally-poor groundwater quality and low-yielding wells limited surface storage opportunities. Per capita recycled water use is among the highest in the nation, but further expansion is limited to areas that are difficult to reach due to steep mountain slopes. Aquatic habitat protection and restoration is a special priority, as the North SM Bay includes the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, several State Parks, a state designated ASBS, and Malibu Lagoon, all heavily used for recreation. The North SM Bay is also home to over a dozen endangered and threatened species, including the southernmost Steelhead Trout population in the state.
b. 2.7 Water Quality
i. Ground Water Quality (page 2-42 - 2-43) - Minor revision to the second paragraph.

The third paragraph was also revised to state that additional information regarding AB 1249 requirements are found in the subregional plans. The list of water quality issues in each of the Region's groundwater basins was also updated.

Groundwater Quality
Groundwater quality varies throughout the Region, based on naturally occurring conditions, historical land use patterns, and groundwater extraction patterns.

Naturally occurring soil and geologic conditions in the Region often result in elevated levels of dissolved solids in groundwater (measured in terms of TDS). Commonly referred to as "hard" water, these dissolved solids include inorganic salts (including calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium bicarbonates, chlorides and sulfates) and small amounts of organic matter. Increases in groundwater TDS concentrations are a function of the recharge of storm and urban runoff, imported water, recycled water, and incidental recharge. Naturally hard water precludes the use of groundwater throughout one of the GLAC IRWMP Subregions, the North Santa Monica Bay Subregion. They are also attributed in part to the legacy of salt contamination from past agricultural and land uses, including fertilizer use and waste disposal.

Groundwater quality in some portions of the Region has been degraded by elevated levels of nitrates primarily from past agricultural land use practices and plumes of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the past disposal of industrial solvents. These include trichloroethylene (TCE), a common degreaser and cleaning product, perchloroethylene (PCE), commonly used in dry cleaning of clothing. In addition,

Page 4 of 17 ends

GREATER LOS ANGELES COUNTY 2013 IRWM PLAN
2017 AMENDMENTS
perchlorate contamination, associated with the manufacturing and testing of solid rocket propellants, is another major concern. The solid salts of ammonium perchlorate, potassium perchlorate, or sodium perchlorate are soluble in water and can persist for decades. Groundwater contamination has also occurred in some locations from the use of methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) a gasoline additive used to increase octane ratings and reduce emissions. Although the use of TBE was discontinued in 2003 (following the discovery of MTBE in groundwater wells in the City of Santa Monica), many underground gasoline storage tanks leaked and created the potential for contamination.

The location and extent of groundwater contamination in the Region, and the potential resulting impacts to the communities within the Region are described in the subregional plans. Groundwater cleanup efforts are being coordinated by various agencies and cities, including the San Gabriel Basin WQA and WRD.

The following is a summary of water quality issues in each of the Region's groundwater basins:
• Main San Gabriel Basin: VOCs, NDMA, nitrate, perchlorate, hexavalent chromium, and TDS
• Puente Basin: TDS, nitrate, hexavalent chromium, VOCs • Six Basins: nitrate, perchlorate, VOCs, arsenic, radon • Raymond Basin: TDS, nitrate, perchlorate, VOCs
• San Fernando Basin: TCE, PCE, hexavalent chromium, nitrate, sulfate, TDS • Verdugo Basin: MTBE, nitrate
• Sylmar Basin: nitrate
• Central Basin: TDS, VOCs, perchlorate, nitrate, iron, manganese, chromium, arsenic
• West Coast Basin: TDS, VOCs, manganese
• Santa Monica Basin: TCE, PCE, perchlorate, MTBE
• Hollywood Basin: TDS
c. 2.11 Land Use (page 2-56) - Revised to describe the role of local land use agencies and regional planning departments in "Land Use" IRWM planning efforts.

2.11 Land Use
Land Use within the Region is recognized as the responsibility of the cities and counties.

This reflects the historic pattern of urbanization, as most of the coastal plain and interior valleys are occupied with residential, industrial, commercial, and institutional uses, and most of the foothills and mountains are principally open space. _Increasingly, the local land use agencies and regional planning departments are collaborating with water purveyors to more effectively manage the Region's water demand and infrastructure with respect to climate change impacts. A breakdown of land use in the Region is provided in Table 2-6, and depicted on Maps 2-14(a) through 2-14(e).

GREATER LOS ANGELES COUNTY 2013 IRWM PLAN
2017 AMENDMENTS
d. 2.14 Climate Change_(pages 2-67 through 2-71) - Revised to include additional information required for "Climate Change".

2.14 Climate Change (third paragraph)
On a state-wide level, these impacts are expected to impact local water resources as follows_(California Water Plan Update 2013, Volume II, South Coast Region, 2014; Safeguarding California: Reducing Climate Risk, 2014; DWR, 2011):

Effects of Climate Change on the GLAC Region (second paragraph) The need for and interest in more refined geographic and temporal scale climate change models has precipitated two recent climate change analysis efforts that were recently completed within the GLAC Region. These two studies inform the latest vulnerability assessments.

Climate Change in the Los Angeles Region: A modeling effort being led by UCLA for a partnership of the Los Angeles Regional Collaborative for Climate Action and Sustainability and the City of Los Angeles to refine climate modeling for the Greater Los Angeles area between 2041 to 2060. The results of the temperature and precipitation modeling have already been released and have been incorporated into the climate change effects described here. The modeling effort will also produce precipitation, hydrology, cloud cover, wind and sea level rise impacts - however the results of these analyses were not yet available for this section.

Los Angeles Basin Stormwater Conservation Study: A partnership between the US Bureau of Reclamation and the LACFCD to refine climate change projections influenced by localized geographic differences between coastal and inland areas, as well as changes in topography. The Los Angeles Basin Study assessed the Region's major water conservation and flood risk management infrastructure to prepare for future drivers that may impact water supply, such as changes to climate and population. The study is a long-range planning effort that evaluated the potential of existing facilities and additional new stormwater capture concepts to increase the resiliency and sustainability of local water supplies under an uncertain future. Resulting climate projections will be simulated in existing LACFCD facilities and hydrologic models to identify potential flooding and supply effects and vulnerabilities. Since the effort was begun in February 2013, the results were not yet available for use in this 2013 Plan Update:

Regional Climate Change Impacts
Climate change impacts and effects are based on different climate change assumptions and analysis approaches. Table 2-7 summarizes the impacts and effects of climate change on the GLAC Region by 2100 (unless otherwise indicated), which are typically based on an average of various climate change analyses. However only temperature projections are available at a refined scale for the GLAC Region as shown in Table 2.7.

Climate change is expected to increase average temperature by at least 3.5 degrees Fahrenheit by mid-century with the number of hot days (with temperatures greater than 95° F) tripling at the coast. This effect is further exacerbated in the inland areas.

Precipitation is expected to decrease by at 2 to 5 inches throughout the South Coast of

Page 6 of 17 ends

GREATER LOS ANGELES COUNTY 2013 IRWM PLAN
2017 AMENDMENTS
California with the most extreme reductions taking place in the higher elevations. These temperature effects are presented in Figures 2-2 and 2-3 from the UCLA climate change modeling effort._Interestingly, climate change is projected to have minor impacts on average annual rainfall within the Region. Annual precipitation totals are anticipated to undergo little to no change. Rainfall intensity is projected to increase over the higher elevation portions of the Region while little change in intensity is expected over the central and coastal areas.

Recent sea level rise studies have estimated a range of 17-66 inch average 11 inch rise along coastal areas in Southern California by the year 2100. The Region uses a system of seawater barriers to prevent saltwater intrusion into the coastal groundwater aquifers and safeguard this water supply source. As sea level rises, the Region will need to be vigilant in the monitoring of its coastal aquifers and use adaptive management techniques as necessary to ensure the health of this supply.

The three major imported water supplies feeding the Region - State Water Project, Colorado River Aqueduct, and Los Angeles Aqueduct - are also anticipating delivery decreases as a result of climate change.
e. Table 2.7: Impacts and Effects of Climate Change on Region (page 2-69) - Revised to update information using the Los Angeles Basin Study Summary Report. See attachment.

Identification of Vulnerabilities (page 2-71)
The Climate Change Subcommittee conducted an exercise to answer vulnerability questions taken from Box 4-1 of the Climate Change Handbook and associated the answers with potential water management issues/vulnerabilities. See Appendix O for an updated summary of the analysis. Included in this analysis are qualitative vulnerability questions framed to help assess resource sensitivity to climate change and prioritization of climate change vulnerabilities within a region. Answers to vulnerability questions are given for the GLAC Region with local examples provided as justification for the answer.

Vulnerability issues are prioritized in the next section.

Prioritization of Vulnerabilities
The justification as to why the following vulnerability issues were classified as high priority is provided below:
• Decreased ability to meet and/or maintain conservation goals: There is concern that it will-may be very difficult for the Region to reachmaintain levels of conservation consistent with the state goal of a 20 percent reduction in per capita potable water use by 2020 and achieve the efficiency targets contemplated under the Governor's proposed framework for "Making Water Conservation a California Way of Life". In addition, demand hardening will reduce the water use efficiency options available to make further reductions in use beyond the current goal of 20 percent. Although conservation programs reduce the amount of water needed by customers, not all long-term conservation programs have not generated overall cost savings to those the customers. Water supply agencies must still maintain and operate supply facilities so decreased revenues as a result of conservation must be balanced through rate adjustments. Increased costs to customers could discourage them some_from continuing water conservation.

3. CHAPTER 3 OBJECTIVES AND PRIORITIES
a. 3.2 Objectives: Improve Water Supply (pages 3-3) - Revised to include additional information required for "Climate Change".

Improve Water Supply
Optimize local water resources to reduce the Region's reliance on imported water Most years, the San Gabriel Mountains receive substantial rainfall and existing dams and natural storage slowly release runoff, providing an important source of high-quality and existing storage facilities, rehabilitation and enlargement of upstream storage capacity, and optimization of operational practices could improve the utilization of this local water source. Further, diversifying the water supply portfolio equips the Region to continually adapt to climate change.

The Region's concern about water shortages has increased the local interest in graywater reuse as a source of non-potable water supply. The California Plumbing Code was amended in August 2009 when Chapter 16A was adopted to allow the use of graywater from clothes washers without a permit from local government subject to some environmental protection conditions. Local governments are reviewing options for expanding the graywater reuse opportunities for more fixtures while addressing potential impacts on a case-by-case basis. Total graywater within a residence may account for as much as 60 percent of the total indoor water consumption. The LADWP estimates that the residential graywater reuse capacity may range from 50 to 165 million gallons per day.

Lastly, diversifying the water supply portfolio helps the Region to better adapt to climate change.
b. 3.2 Objectives: Reduce Flood Risk (page 3-5) - Revised to include additional information required for "Climate Change."
Reduce Flood Risk
Reduce flood risk in flood prone areas by either increasing protection or decreasing needs using integrated flood management approaches
Although, abundant sunshine is one of the Region's main attractions, occasional storm events have the potential to generate substantial amounts of runoff which can create significant flood risks. The Region's extensive flood management system must be operated, maintained, and enhanced where needed to protect lives and property.

Additionally, climate change is projected to create more intense storm events and in some cases, may warrant modifications to flood control infrastructure or expansions. As elements of the flood protection system warrant significant repair or replacement, consideration should be given to the implementation of more integrated flood management systems. Projects that propose to: 1) reduce runoff via onsite best

GREATER LOS ANGELES COUNTY 2013 IRWM PLAN
2017 AMENDMENTS
management practices (BMPs); 2) capture and treat urban and storm water runoff for treatment; 3) expand groundwater recharge; or 4) restore habitat, must also preserve or enhance existing flood protection levels.
c. 3.2 Objectives: Address Climate Change (page 3-5) - Revised to include additional information required for "Climate Change."
Address Climate Change
Adapt to and mitigate against climate change vulnerabilities The potential effects, and impacts and vulnerabilities of climate change impacts were assessed in the context of the vulnerabilities of on the GLAC Region were assessed as part of the 2013 Plan Update and described in Chapter 2. In general, the Region can expect to have significant temperature increases, and little to no change in annual precipitation, and more intense storm events decreases (by 20102100) that will impact local water demands, supplies, water quality and habitat. The resulting runoff from these storm events is projected to have higher flows, yet the overall seasonality of the runoff is not expected to change much. Sea level rise and the more_intense storm events are alse expected to impact the Region causing flooding, water quality and other water management and land use issues. With the three major imported water supplies feeding the Region are also anticipating delivery decreases as a result of climate change, the Region recognizes that it must be ready to adapt to these impacts. d. 3.3 Planning Targets (page 3-7) - Revised to include additional information required for "Climate Change."
Increase capture and direct use of stormwater runoff by 26,000 AFY Stormwater runoff is a largely underutilized resource within the Region and seen as a key resource to help adapt to climate change. The Region's highly urbanized areas generate a large amount of runoff during winter storms that is only partially captured for direct use or to recharge local aquifers. However, this supply is very seasonal and so it is often infeasible to construct and operate facilities to store larger amounts of surface water supplies, so much of the winter storm flows are lost to the ocean. It is possible to capture urban runoff for direct use through the implementation of both small, decentralized projects as well as storage reservoirs.
e. 3.3 Planning Targets (page 3-12) - Revised to include additional information required for "Climate Change."
Implement mitigation strategies that decrease emissions of GHGs Decreasing the amount of energy required to produce water supply is one of the greatest ways that the Region can mitigate against further climate change impacts. By optimizing facilities and using less energy intensive water resource strategies to meet needs, the Region and its stakeholders can reduce GHG emissions and contribute to lessening the future climate impacts. The Region can also consider implementing green infrastructure projects that use natural solutions such as carbon sequestration and/or projects that use renewable energy to reduce GHG emissions. Additionally, Some "no regret" strategies, like water use efficiency, will directly reduce GHG emissions by not requiring water to be produced to meet the same need. The GLAC Region is supportive of strategies that both

help adapt to mitigate against climate change, such as considering the strategies in CARB's A B 32 Scoping Plan. The strategies that can be used to meet these targets are provided in Chapter 4.

4. CHAPTER 4 REGIONAL WATER MANAGEMENT
a. 4.1 Introduction (page 4-1) - Revised to include reference to California Water Plan Update 2013 Resource Management Strategies.

4.1 Introduction
As part of the 2017 amendment process for the GLAC IRWM Plan, 2013 Plan Update process, the GLAG Region reviewed the management strategies called out in the 2006 Plan relative to the new IRWM Plan 2013the Plan objectives and the Resource Management Strategies (RMS) listed in the California Water Plan Update 20092013 (DWR, 20092013), including the new additions. The purpose of reviewing these Management Strategies in this context is to identify which ones will help achieve the Plan objectives through project or program implementation within the GLAC Region: In order to determine which strategies are suitable for the Region: _ Subregional SC meetings and a public review process were held to solicit feedback and input from the Region's stakeholders. Section 4.3 describes each of the Resource Management Strategies that the stakeholderswere determined were to be relevant to the GLAC Region. Those RMS's not discussed in Section 4.3 were considered not applicable. This chapter presents the strategies considered by the SC stakeholders for the 2013 Plan Update, and updatesamends the 2006 2013 Plan language accordingly. This chapter also specifically includes an evaluation of the adaptability of water management systems in the Region to climate change.

In recent years, new sediment management challenges have been identified. In particular, recent wildfires have led to an increased inflow of sediment and debris within flood management structures. This has put pressure on the remaining capacity of existing sediment placement sites. The Los Angeles County Flood Control District's Sediment Management Strategic Plan (SMS Plan) was developed to consider new alternatives that can reduce the environmental and social impacts of sediment management. The SMS Plan provides a balanced approach to ensure the flood management and water conservation system remains operational well into the future and able to provide flood control and water conservation purposes by proactively addressing key issues affecting sediment management.

Opportunities to enhance flood management include projects such as the Sun Valley Watershed Plan, which addresses an area of chronic flooding with alternative approaches

Page 11 of 17 ends

GREATER LOS ANGELES COUNTY 2013 IRWM PLAN
2017 AMENDMENTS
to construction of a flood conveyance channel through the use ofusing gravel pits and underground drains below parkland to infiltrate runoff and thereby enhance groundwater recharge. If successful, the Sun Valley Plan can serve as a model for future localized flood management improvements. Flood attenuation to reduce peak flood flows, via expanded on-site infiltration and increased upstream storage, represents an opportunity to enhance the potential for river channel modifications, such as those proposed in the Los Angeles River Revitalization Master Plan.

Opportunities to facilitate sediment management alternatives for reservoirs and debris basins in the Region include a combination of removal, transportation, beneficial uses and placement. Sediment removal includes excavation, sluicing, dredging, and sediment flushing. Transport of sediment can be by way of conveyor belts, slurry pipes, and trucks.

Beneficial uses and placement include daily cover at solid waste landfills, fill at pits, or sediment placement sites.

The San Gabriel Reservoir Sedimentation Management Project is an example of a potential project using a combination of the above alternatives. The San Gabriel Reservoir has 23.8 MCY of sediment removal planned over the next 20 years and another 3.4 MCY that could potentially be sluiced or delivered by slurry pipeline from the upstream Cogswell Reservoir:
ii. Ecosystem Restoration RMS # 22,28_(page 4-20) - Deleted reference to CWP Update 2009 and inserted 2013 on the second paragraph.

Ecosystem Restoration (RMS # 22, 28)
In recent decades, technologies have emerged to restore function and productivity to degraded or destroyed ecosystems. Scientists, engineers, and community groups have begun working with federal, state, and local governments to restore ecosystem function to the Region's native ecosystems. According to the CWP UpdateDWR 20092013 (Ecosystem Restoration, Chapter 22), ecosystem restoration improves the condition of modified natural landscapes and biological communities to provide for their sustainability and for their use and enjoyment by current and future generations. Few, if any, of California's ecosystems can be fully restored to their condition before development. Instead, efforts must focus on rehabilitation of important elements of ecosystem structure and function. Successful restoration increases the diversity of native species and biological communities, and the abundance and connectivity of habitats.

Page 12 of 17 ends

GREATER LOS ANGELES COUNTY 2013 IRWM PLAN
2017 AMENDMENTS
The California Water Plan describes outreach and engagement for water management as the "use of tools and practices by water agencies to facilitate contributions by public individuals and groups toward good water management outcomes." Improved education, outreach and engagement has increased the public's awareness of critical water issues and their understanding of benefits, costs and impacts of water resources management alternatives leading to better engagement and contributing towards good water management.

The 2013 Plan Update includes several discussions within the Stakeholder Involvement section (1.5) which describes outreach and recruitment of stakeholders, the public, disadvantaged communities, local planning entities, and other IRWM Regions.

In 2013, DWR sponsored two local studies to evaluate and recommend strategies for future DAC engagement processes. Council for Watershed Health carried out the DAC Outreach Evaluation Study on effective outreach strategies to DACs within the Region, and the San Gabriel and Lower Los Angeles Rivers and Mountains Conservancy published the Alcanza Project, engaging disadvantaged communities in the planning process of developing projects. These efforts show that the most effective engagement strategies are based on highly localized efforts where "links" in the form of partnerships between water management agencies, municipalities, nonprofits, and community-based groups are supported, and that the community values outreach and education, project site assessment, project development, and technical assistance. The DACIP effort is intended to support collaborative work involving DACs, community-based organizations, and stakeholders in IRWM planning efforts, increase understanding, and where necessary, identify water arrangement needs of DACs, and develop strategies and long- term solutions that appropriately address the identified DAC water management needs.

Reaching out across our cultural divides is one necessary factor to achieve successful water management planning. Thus, this RMS is included in the IRWM Plan based on the important principles it conveys to "link cultural considerations to water management." Although the RMS acknowledges it represents more of an annotated outline than a fully developed strategy and that is often difficult to define culture or cultural groups, the GLAC Region has actively incorporated practices and processes to be inclusive of all stakeholders. The GLAC Region is truly multi-cultural with a myriad of ethnicities, Native American tribes presence and practices, surfing and beach culture, and a strong environmental movement, to list a few.

The GLAC Region aims to increase involvement with the diverse communities in the Region through the DAC Involvement Program (DACIP). The DACIP began in 2017 and aims to increase engagement by underrepresented minorities, economically disadvantaged areas and tribal members. Through these efforts and others, the GLAC IRWM anticipates local communities will become more engaged in the collaborative process and in future water-related planning and projects. Furthermore, project sponsors are responsible for considering and outreaching to stakeholders within project specific boundaries.

4.4 Climate Change
The strategies discussed above can be used to help the Region adapt to the climate change vulnerabilities identified in Chapter 2, and mitigate further climate change impacts. The Climate Change Subcommittee reviewed the Resource Management Strategies discussed above, and also developed an initial list of both adaption and mitigation strategies through review of relevant climate change related documents.

These documents include:
• Managing an Uncertain Future (DWR, 2008)
• Climate Change Scoping Plan (CARB, 2006)
• Climate Action Team Biennial Report (CalEPA, 2010)
• Resolution on Sea Level Rise (OPC, 2010)
•_Coastal Regional Sediment Management Plan for Los Angeles County Coast (USACE, 2012)
• Los Angeles Basin Study (LACFCD/USBR, 2015)
• Regional Adapt LA: Coast Impacts Planning in the Los Angeles Region (USC, 2017)

• Adapt to and mitigate against climate change vulnerabilities, and reduce energy consumption and overall GHG emissions
b. 5.5 Selecting Projects Integration (page 5-5) - Revised paragraph 3 to address new "Climate Change" requirements.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the Region wants to maintain flexibility to prioritize projects as needed, based on issues the Region is facing at the time, such as severe drought, flooding conditions, emerging climate change effects_or other unforeseen circumstances. Not prioritizing projects also gives the Region more flexibility to select projects for funding from various grant programs that may not be at/near the top of a prioritized list, but may be well supported by a deserving community.

For all these reasons, the Region's decision was to maintain a list of projects, but without prioritizing them. The process occurs at the direction of the LC and the most recent project selection is posted on the project database webpage. The general process and criteria to be used to determine the priority level of projects are provided in the box below. These could be superseded by specific grant criteria c. 5.3 Project Integration (page 5-6) - Revised first paragraph to address new "Climate Change: requirements

5.3 Project Integration
As DWR notes in the Guidelines, IRWM planning decisions can lead to existing or "off the shelf projects being combined or replaced by new and/ or different projects. Part of the advantage of regional planning is addressing similar objectives of local interests with a regional project. Resources of personnel, finance, and equipment to implement multiple smaller efforts may benefit from economies of scale when similar local interests can be met with a regional project. IRWM plans must contain provisions for reviewing project objectives and considering new, expanded, or even different solutions that meet multiple local needs. The decisions made in the IRWM Plan should consider the interconnected needs of the Region and not just the needs of specific entities in the RWMG. The RWMG should also consider integrating solutions that adapt to climate change and help to mitigate GHG emissions. Opportunities for project integration are regular topics of

Adaptive management and monitoring is critical to ensure that the IRWM Plan remains relevant and projects function properly in light of different stressors.

IRW PLAN REVIEW FORM

INTRODUCTION
IRWM planning regions must have an IRWM Plan that has been reviewed and deemed consistent with the IRWM Plan Standards by DWR for eligibility to receiving Proposition 1 IRWM Implementation Grant funding. DWR will use this IRWM Plan Standards Review Form, which can be found at the link in Volume 1, Appendix A of the 2016 Guidelines and represented in Table 7 of the Guidelines, to ensure a consistent assessment of whether the 2016 IRWM Guidelines are being addressed in the IRWM Plan. The form contains a checklist for each of the 16 Plan Standards and narrative evaluations where required. The evaluation is pass/fail; there is no numeric scoring. Each Plan Standard is either sufficient or not, based on its associated requirements. Each Standard consists of between one and fifteen requirements. A Yes or No is automatically calculated in each Plan Standard header based on the individual requirement evaluations. In general, a passing score of "C" (i.e. 70% of the requirements for a given Plan Standard) is required for a Standard to pass. Standards with only one or 2 requirements will need one or both of those requirements to pass. Standards with 3 requirements will need at least 2 of the requirements to pass. Standards with 4 or 5 requirements will need at least 3 to pass. Some plan elements are legislated requirements. Such plan elements must be met in order to be considered consistent with plan standards. A summary of the sufficiency of each Standard is automatically calculated on the Standards Summary worksheet. A "No" evaluation indicates that a Standard was not met due to insufficient requirements comprising the Standard. The evaluation for each Plan Standard and any associated insufficiencies is summarized on the Standards Summary page. Additional reviewer comments may be added at the bottom of each standards work sheet.

Note: This review form is meant to be a tool used in conjunction with the 2016 IRWM Guidelines document to assist in the evaluation of IRWM plans. It is not designed to be a substitute for the Guidelines document itself. Reviewers must use the Guidelines in determining plan consistency.

DEFINITION OF TABLE HEADINGS
IRWM Plan Standard: As named in the 2016 IRWM Guidelines.

This field is either "YES" or "NO" and is automatically calculated based on the "Sufficient" column described below. If all fields Overall Standard Sufficient: are "y", the overall standard is deemed sufficient. Any entry other than a "y" in the Sufficient column (i.e. "n", ?, not sure, more detail needed, etc.) results in a NO.

Plan Standard Requirements Fields with a footnote (_) are required by legislation to be included in an IRWM Plan.

Which Must Be Addressed:

Requirement Requirements are taken directly from the 2016 IRWM Guidelines. 2016 IRWM Guidelines Source Page(s) Page(s) in the 2016 IRWM Guidelines which pertain to the Requirement and include the regulatory or other citations where applicable.
is the Guideline Requirement included in the IRWM Plan? The options are: y = yes, requirement is included in the IRWMP; or n Included = no, requirement is not included in the IRWMP. If only y or n then presence/absence of the requirement is sufficient for evaluation. If there is a "a" (qualitative) then add a brief narrative, similar to a Grant Application Review public evaluation or supporting information.

Evidence of Plan Sufficiency
Location of Standard in Grantee IRWM The page(s) or sections in the IRWM Plan where information on the Requirement can be found. This can be specific paragraphs Plan or entire chapters for more general requirements.

Supporting information for the Requirement if a "q" is in the Included column. This can be just a few sentences or a paragraph Brief Qualitative Evaluation Narrative and can be taken directly from the IRWM Plan. Comments or supporting information may be entered regardless of whether required.

Sufficient Is the Guidelines requirement sufficiently represented in the IRWM Plan (y/n).

Rivers Subregional Plan
Surface Water
There is no direct potable use of surface water within this Subregion; however, surface water flow from the Los Angeles River, Rio Hondo and the San Gabriel River are used to recharge groundwater at spreading grounds which are discussed further in the groundwater section.

Groundwater
Groundwater is a major water supply in this Subregion, representing approximately 55% of water supplies in 20102017. The primary groundwater basin is Central Basin, in addition to the West Coast Basin, La Habra Basin and Orange County Basin.

The Central Basin is adjudicated through the Central Basin Judgment, with the total amount of allowable extraction rights set at 217,367 AFY. The Water Replenishment District of Southern California (WRD) groundwater reliability programs and projects.

Groundwater recharge in the Central Basin occurs via existing and restored natural channel bottoms, percolation of rainwater (natural recharge), underflow from neighboring basins, irrigation, and other incidental recharge; however, natural recharge is typically insufficient to maintain basin water levels and current pumping levels due to the extent of impervious surfaces. To augment the groundwater which naturally recharges Central Basin, artificial recharge using river water, imported water, recycled water and runoff augments and blends with groundwater, and is eventually extracted for potable use. Artificial recharge facilities in the Central Basin include the following (LACDPW, 2011):
• Dominguez Gap Spreading Grounds - recharge controlled flows from the Los Angeles River and uncontrolled flows from storm drains
• Rio Hondo Coastal Spreading Grounds - recharge controlled releases from San Gabriel Canyon Dams, Santa Fe Dam and Whittier Narrows Dam, uncontrolled runoff via San Gabriel River and Rio Hondo channel, and imported and recycled water
San Gabriel Coastal Spreading Grounds - recharge controlled and uncontrolled releases from San Gabriel Canyon Dams, Santa Fe Dam and Whittier Narrows Dam, and imported and recycled water
• San Gabriel River at Montebello Forebay - in-river recharge controlled releases from San Gabriel Canyon Dams, Santa Fe Dam and Whittier Narrows Dam, uncontrolled runoff via San Gabriel River, and imported and recycled water
• Alamitos Gap Barrier Project - injects imported water and recycled water to prevent seawater intrusion
The West Coast Basin, also adjudicated, lies mostly in the South Bay Subregion to the west, but a small portion lies in the Lower San Gabriel and Los Angeles Rivers Subregion. Like Central Basin, West Coast Basin is managed by the California Department of Water Resources and WRD. This basin is hydrologically connected to Central Basin, receiving underflow at the Dominguez Gapacross the Newport-Inglewood Uplift. Groundwater basin recharge can occur via existing and restored natural channel bottoms, percolation of rainwater irrigation, and other native incidental recharge; however natural recharge is typically insufficient to maintain basin water levels and current pumping levels due to the extent of impervious surfaces and the presence of clay soils in parts of the Subregion. There are currently injection wells in place in the West Coast Basin which inject recycled water and imported water along the coast to form barriers to seawater intrusion in two locations (the Dominguez Gap and West Coast Basin Barriers). (West Basin MWD, 2011)
8 GLAC IRWM Lower San Gabriel and Los
Angeles Rivers Subregional Plan
The Orange County Basin underlies the eastern portion of the southeastern portion of the Subregion, and is separated from the Central Basin boundary along Coyote Creek and the Los Angeles/Orange County line.

This basin is adjudicated, and is managed by the Orange County Water District. Recharge to the Orange County Basin is primarily from the Santa Ana River through permeable sands and gravels within the forebay areas. Recharge also occurs through precipitation, irrigation, and other native incidental recharge.

Artificial recharge activities include injection through wells at the Talbert and Alamitos seawater barriers, and spreading of imported and recycled water at spreading grounds. Artificial recharge facilities overlying the Orange County Basin allow for the recharge of Santa Ana River water, imported water, and recycled water. These facilities are located in the cities of Anaheim and Orange, as well as along the Santa Ana River. and include the following:
• Santa Ana River in the forebay areas
• Conrock and Warner Percolation Basins
• Burris Pit Percolation Basin
• Talbert seawater barrier
• Alamitos seawater barrier
La Habra Basin is located in northern Orange County, north of the Orange County Basin. Little groundwater production occurs in this basin due to low transmissivity and poor water quality caused by high TDS, sulfates, nitrates and color. The La Habra Basin is currently unmanagedan older name for a basin now part of both the Central Basin and Orange County Basin. It is managed by either WRD (for the portion in the Central Basin) or Orange County Water District (for the portion in the Orange County Basin), or managed separately in the cities of La Habra and Brea.

In addition to the above discussed basins, some water agencies utilize groundwater pumped from the San Gabriel Basin to the northeast of the Subregion, including: the City of Whittier, California Domestic Water Company, San Gabriel Valley Water Company and Suburban Water Systems. 9 GLAC IRWM Lower San Gabriel and Los Angeles
Rivers Subregional Plan
Groundwater Quality
Groundwater quality varies throughout the Subregion, based on naturally occurring conditions, historical land use patterns, and groundwater extraction patters. Poor groundwater quality can be attributed to several factors including over-drafting of groundwater basins (sometimes resulting in seawater intrusion), industrial discharges, agricultural chemical usage, legacy contaminants in urban runoff, and naturally occurring constituents. The cost of treating these contaminants is often significant, and for some improperly disposed chemicals, effective treatment has not yet been identified.

Central Basin is generally of good quality but has some localized areas of poor quality, primarily along the basin margins and in those aquifers affected by seawater intrusion. As stated previously, WRD monitors and manages both levels and water quality in Central Basin. The primary constituents of concern in this basin include: TDS, VOCs, perchlorate, nitrate, iron, manganese, arsenic, and chromium. WRD has determined through its monitoring and sampling program that special interest constituents, including arsenic, hexavalent chromium, MTBE, total organic carbon, color and perchiorate, do not pose a substantive threat to the basin. (MWD, 2007)
In order to mitigate localized groundwater quality problems, WRD established a Safe Drinking Water Program to provide pumpers with wellhead treatment equipment to remove VOCs from the groundwater which has restored over 30,00038,000 AFY of groundwater to beneficial use. Seawater intrusion is controlled in the basin through the Alamitos Gap Barrier Project run by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works. (WRD, 2012)
West Coast Basin has high levels of TDS in the Torrance/Hawthorne area, which are outside the Subregion, that can be attributed to both sea-water intrusion and naturally occurring soil and geologic conditions in the region. Increases in groundwater TDS concentrations are primarily attributed to seawater intrusion, but are also a function of the recharge of storm and urban runoff, imported water, and incidental recharge. Seawater intrusion is attributed to the extraction of groundwater above natural replenishment levels. To reduce this, Los Angeles County operates and maintains two seawater intrusion barrier systems along the coast that utilize recycled water and imported water to reduce the seawater intrusion in coastal aquifers. Additionally, West Basin MWD and WRD operate desalting facilities to reduce these high TDS levels. (MWD, 2011)Water quality in the Orange County Basin is managed by the Santa Ana Water Project Authority (SAWPA). In addition to quality issues (including high TDS) due to seawater intrusion, this basin's constituents of concern include: nitrate, VOCs, perchlorate, color, and NDMA. There are several groundwater treatment projects within the basin, though they don't fall within this Subregion. (MWD, 2011)
Near-Shore Ocean Water Quality
There are several indicators of coastal water quality. One of the most publicized is the annual report by Heal the Bay. The annual report evaluates California beaches from Memorial Day to Labor Day giving make swimmers sick Stateside, 92% of Califormia bellies cared or groes over the summer, the same as last year, according to the 2011 report. Additionally, constituents such as PCBs, metals, DDT and other pesticides, and PAHs have been found in coastal waters.

2.5 Environmental Resources
Due to the Subregion being highly urbanized, with its rivers engineered to protect homes and businesses from flooding, large areas of aquatic habitat have been lost. Despite their altered state, the Subregion's channels still serve as habitat for wildlife.

Groundwater
Groundwater represented less than one percent of the Subregion's supplies in 2010. The Hidden Valley, Russell Valley, and Thousand Oaks Area, and Malibu Valley Basins are the only groundwater basins underlying the Subregionin the North Santa Monica Bay Subregion included in the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board's Basin Plan and in the California Statewide Groundwater Elevation Monitoring (CASGEM) Program (Figure 7). Each basin is relatively small with relatively low yield and for the most part produces poor quality water that is not-non-potable water with high concentration of total dissolved solids and sulfates, chloride or alkalinity. There are no public potable supply wells. The CASGEM Basin Prioritization process listed the basins as very low priority. There are groundwater wells located in these basins and throughout the subregion, but the numbers and extent to which they are used for drinking water is unknown. There are concerns that in some cases these wells decrease streamflow and could have negative impacts on aquatic habitat. Little else is known about their water quality, including whether any has nitrate, arsenic, perchlorate or hexavalent chromium contamination. Given that there is no heavy industry or significant agriculture in the region, the presence of those contaminants is unlikely. The Russell Valley Basin is used by Las Virgenes MWD pumps water from the Russell Valley Basin to augment supplies for its reeyeled water systemto augment supplies for its recycled water system and by the Westlake Lake Management Association to maintain lake levels and environmental flows to Triufino Creek. The maximum yield of this basin is 400 AFY, and the basin is not adjudicated. These groundwater basins are not utilized by water agencies within the Subregion. (MWDSC, 2007)

GLAC IRWM South Bay Subregional Plan
1 Background and Purpose of Subregional Plan
The South Bay Subregional Plan is one of five subregional plans that make up the Greater Los Angeles objectives, and targets.
2 South Bay Subregion Description

2.1 Physical Setting
Figure 1: GLAC Subregional Boundaries
The South Bay Subregion of the Greater
Los Angeles County Integrated
Regional Water Management Region
(GLAC IRWM Region) is located in the
southwest area of Los Angeles County
and is composed of the southeastern half
of the Santa Monica Bay Watershed,
along with the Dominguez Channel
Watershed. The Subregion's watersheds
consist of three defining
Lower San Gabrei and
characteristics-its coastline, its tower Los Angeles Rivers North Santa Monica Bay
population and its industry. More than
South Bay
30 miles of coastline in the South Bay Upper Los Angeles River attracts tens of millions of visitors every Upper San Gabnel River enl Ro Hando
year, serves as an important recreation
area for the area's residents, and in a
few remaining pockets such as the Palos Verdes Peninsula, Madrona Marsh, Ballona Wetlands, portions of the Santa Monica Mountains and Baldwin Hills, supports a diverse population of birds and other wildlife.

With over 2.6 million residents according to the 2010 census, the South Bay is one of the most dense and economically diverse urban areas of the region, creating both challenges to preserve and enhance local water resources and the natural environment, as well as unique opportunities for collaboration. Population projections from the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) estimate that the population within the South Bay could increase to over 3 million residents by 2035. The South Bay's industries--oil refining, power generation and transportation via the Port of Los Angeles, Los Angeles International Airport and major freeways— provide similar challenges and opportunities. (U.S. Census Bureau, 2012; SCAG, 2012)
Political Boundaries
The South Bay Subregion is located within the Los Angeles County and includes over 20 cities and unincorporated areas. Figure 2 depicts the county and city boundaries of the South Bay Subregion.

Climate, Temperature, and Rainfall
The South Bay is within the Mediterranean climate zone, which extends from Central California to San Diego, and is characterized by winter precipitation, mostly falling in a few major storm events between November and March, followed by dry summers. Long-term annual average rainfall is approximately 12 inches per year, but can vary greatly from year to year and between the coast and the Santa Monica Mountains.
1 GLAC IRWM South Bay Subregional Plan
Water Suppliers and Infrastructure
The water suppliers in the Subregion can be divided into wholesalers and retailers. Wholesalers (Figure 4) provide imported water and/or recycled water and to other agencies, while retailers (Figure 5) sell water to end users. The major wholesalers in the Subregion include West Basin Municipal Water District (WBMWD) and Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWDSC). The major retailers in the Subregion include Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) and the cities of Santa Monica, Torrance, and Beverly Hills(shown in Figure 5). The retailers that are customer agencies of WBMWD include California American Water Company, California Water Service Company, Golden State Water Company, Los Angeles County Waterworks District #29, City of Lomita, City of Manhattan Beach, City of Inglewood, and City of El Segundo. These suppliers use a combination of imported water, groundwater, and recycled water to serve potable and non-potable demand in their service areas. Each of these major suppliers has written a comprehensive 2010 UWMP to estimate future water supply demands and availability, and which were utilized in the estimation of supplies discussed later in this plan.

Given that this Subregion is highly urbanized, there is extensive water infrastructure in place for the production of water and the delivery of water to both retailers and to end-users. A number of cities have groundwater wells in place for the pumping of the groundwater basins in the area. In addition, the MWDSC delivers water through imported water feeder pipelines to WBMWD, Torrance, Los Angeles, Santa Monica and Beverly Hills.

2.3 Sources of Water Supply
The South Bay has developed a diverse mix of local and imported water supply sources. Local water resources include groundwater, recycled water, water conservation, and water transfers. Water is imported through the California State Water Project (SWP), the Colorado River Aqueduct, and the Los Angeles Aqueduct. Major water supply sources are described below.

Sources of retail supply vary throughout the Subregion, as shown in Table 1. This table was developed based on 2010 Urban Water Management Plans (UWMPs) whose service areas cover a majority of the Subregion. These agencies include:
• WBMWD (portion within Subregion)
• City of Torrance
• City of Beverly Hills
• City of Santa Monica
• City of Los Angeles (portion within Subregion)
In addition to retail supply, replenishment supply is needed to both replenish the West Coast Groundwater Basin and to use with injection wells serving as seawater barriers. Table 2 shows 2010 supplies used to meet replenishment needs.

Desalinated Ocean Water
Desalinated ocean water can add to the Region's water supply reliability by diversifying its water supply sources. From 2010-2014, WBMWD operateds the Ocean Water Desalination Demonstration Facility and Water Education Center to evaluate and demonstrate ocean protection, energy recovery and cost reduction technologies with the goals of ensuring a full scale ocean-water desalination facility will be done in a cost and energy efficient manner while protecting the ocean. WBMWD will decommissionis this facility while working on plans for a full-scale facility planning on expanding this facility in the future to provide up to 21,000 AFY of desalinated ocean water.

Stormwater Capture and Use
Stormwater capture and use is a method that can be used by municipalities both to add a source of supply to its water portfolio, and to reduce runoff that can contribute to flooding and water quality issues. Because this watershed has minimal opportunity to capture large quantities of water for infiltration to underlying water supply basins, stormwater capture and use will largely be used for irrigation purposes rather than directly for drinking water consumption. Stormwater use is currently taking place at a local level whereand the City of Los Angeles has completed is planning on developingits-a Stormwater Capture Master Plan,, and the 11 GLAC IRWM South Bay Subregional Plan
In addition, the City of Santa Monica and WBMWDwhich actively promotes the use of rainwater for various non-potable applications through free workshops in addition to rain barrel and cistern rebates.

2.4 Water Supply and Demand
As water agency boundaries are not aligned with the subregional boundaries, water demand was estimated based on review of 2010 Urban Water Management Plans (UWMPs) for:
• West Basin MWD (portion within Subregion)
• City of Torrance
• City of Beverly Hills
• City of Santa Monica
• City of Los Angeles (portion within Subregion)
The demand projections in WBMWD's Regional UWMP were included as its service area covers the areas not covered by the individually listed cities. Given that the City of Los Angeles covers multiple subregions, the portion included in the South Bay Subregion was applied to the total demand estimated in the City of ¿os Angeles's UWMP to approximate the demand of the City of Los Angeles within the South Bay Subregion.

Demand projections for the South Bay Subregion can be seen in Table 5.

2.5 Water Quality
The GLAC Region has suffered water quality degradation of varying degrees due to sources associated with urbanization, including the use of chemicals, fertilizers, industrial solvents, automobiles and household products. Both surface water and groundwater quality have been impacted by this degradation which can be classified as either point or nonpoint sources. Regulations are in place to control both types of sources, and are often updated to control constantly changing water quality issues.

The Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972, amended in 1977, are commonly known as the Clean Water Act. The Clean Water Act established the basic structure for regulating discharges of pollutants into the waters of the United States and gave the USEPA the authority to implement pollution control programs. In California, per the Porter Cologne Water Quality Control Act of 1969, responsibility for protecting water quality rests with the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) and Regional Water Quality Control Boards (RWQCBs).

The Subregion has 303(d) listings related to both human activities and natural sources. Human activities can produce poor water quality due to trash, nutrients from wastewater treatment effluent, metals, and toxic pollutants. These pollutants can be carried in stormwater runoff and through point source discharges, impacting streams, canyon ecosystems, and eventually beaches and offshore waters. Natural sources of contaminants primarily include minerals and metals from underlying local geology.

Even though agencies and cities in the Subregion have significantly reduced pollutants that are discharged to water bodies from individual point sources since the Clean Water Act was established, many of the major water bodies are still considered impaired due to trash, bacteria, nutrients, metals, and toxic pollutants. Water quality issues affecting the Subregion's local surface waters and groundwater basins are discussed below. 12 GLAC IRWM South Bay Subregional Plan
The City of Santa Monica pumps, treats, and distributes groundwater for drinking water purposes from the Santa Monica Basin. Within the Santa Monica Basin, there are three City well fields, the Arcadia Well Field located in the Arcadia Subbasin, the Santa Monica Well Field located in the Olympic Subbasin, and the Charnock Well Field located in the Charnock Subbasin (Figure 8-A). The City actively monitors the groundwater in these Subbasins in accordance with the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board and the State Water Resources Control Board: Division of Drinking Water Programs. Extensive groundwater
monitoring and chemical analysis are performed to confirm compliance with Federal and State Drinking Water standards.

The City of Santa Monica reported no detections of perchlorate during the 1st Period (2011-2013) and the Second Period (2014-2016) of the Third Compliance Cycle for the groundwater from the Santa Monica Basin entering the City of Santa Monica's Arcadia Water Treatment Plant - System No. 1910146 and Amended Permit No. 1910146PA-003.

The two City drinking water wells located at the Water Treatment Plant and in the Arcadia Subbasin are non-detect for perchlorate. In the Charnock Subbasin, there have only been 3 low and sporadic detections of perchlorate in the more than 17 years of groundwater monitoring efforts. Well RMW-19 revealed a perchlorate detection of 2.9 pb and 3.1 ppb in July 2010. Well RMW-9 revealed a perchlorate detection of

2.2 ppb in July 2013. The CA State MCL for perchlorate is 6.0 ppb. Perchlorate was not detected in both wells before and after these reported detections.

In the Olympic Subbasin, perchlorate was detected in 2 of the 3 aquifer zones, according to the October 2010 Groundwater Monitoring Report, prepared by AMEC Geomatrix. It was detected in the upper A and B zones. Perchlorate concentrations ranging from non-detect to 37.3 ppb were detected in the A zone.

Perchlorate concentrations ranging from non-detect to 77.0 ppb were detected in the B zone. Perchlorate was not detected in the lower aquifer C zone where the City pumps groundwater for drinking water use.

Figures 8-A, 8-B, and 8-C present perchlorate concentrations in the 3 aquifer zones as reported in 2010. The RWQCB determined that perchlorate contamination in the upper aquifer zones was not significant and further groundwater monitoring was not required.

There has been no impact to the City of Santa Monica and surrounding communities located within the Santa Monica Basin due to the localized and low-level detections of perchlorate. Perchlorate has not been detected in groundwater influent to the Santa Monica Water Treatment Plant.

There are no efforts being undertaken in the region to address the localized and low-level detections of perchlorate in the Santa Monica Basin. The presence of perchlorate in the Santa Monica Basin is not considered significant and does not present a health risk. No further efforts are required.

Madrona Marsh
The Madrona Marsh Preserve, located in Torrance, is the last vernal marsh remaining in the South Bay Subregion and one of few aquatic habitats located within its urban landscape. Formed eons ago when the mountains of the Palos Verdes Peninsula rose to the south, Madrona Marsh is a shallow depression fed by wet season storms, as the name "vernal" indicates. After the rainy season, evaporation, percolation and transpiration reduce the water depth by about one-quarter of an inch (6 mm) per day. By the end of August. the aquatic habitat is dry and remains so until the following rainy season. Situated on land that was set aside for oil production in 1924, Madrona Marsh was never developed-unlike the surrounding city-and remains a valuable natural habitat for birds, reptiles, insects and even small mammals. (Friends of Madrona Marsh, 2012)
Machado Lake
Machado Lake, located in Ken Malloy Harbor Regional Park along the Wilmington Drain, is a perennial freshwater lake and marsh that provides aquatic habitat to a number of species. Due to contamination by surrounding urban land uses, this area ishas undergoneing ecosystem rehabilitation by the City of Los Angeles and Los Angeles County (SDLAC, 2010). Partial funding for this rehabilitation semes came from the Proposition 50 Integrated Regional Water Management Grant Program.

2.6.2 Riparian Habitat
Riparian habitat is typically a linear corridor of variable width that occurs along perennial, intermittent, and ephemeral streams and rivers. In undisturbed areas, two distinguishing features of riparian ecosystems are the hydrologic interaction that occurs between the stream channel and adjacent areas through periodic exchange of surface water and groundwater, and the distinctive geomorphic features and vegetation communities that develop in response to this hydrologic interaction.

Due to the extensive urbanization on the coastal plain and inland valleys, current riparian habitat within the Subregion bears little resemblance to the pre-development conditions. Faber et al. (1989) estimated that 90- to 95-percent of the riparian habitat has been lost. Most native riparian habitat in the Subregion is located in the Santa Monica Mountains; in the restored riparian corridor below the Westchester Bluffs.

Ballona Creek
Ballona Creek is an approximately nine mile long flood control channel surrounded by urban development and traversed by roads, freeways, and infrastructure. The creek has the potential of providing a habitat corridor from Baldwin Hills to the Ballona Wetlands, but currently does not contain significant riparian habitat. However a 50 acre riparian corridor and freshwater marsh for stormwater management purposes were completed in the early 2000's and contains many willows, cattails and tule habitat areas.

The Ballona Creek Greenway Plan is the result of collaboration between the Ballona Creek Watershed Task Force and the SMBRC. It is a plan that will explore issues related not only to short-term recreational improvements but also to longer-term restoration design possibilities. The Task Force is comprised of state and local agencies, environmental organizations, private businesses, and resident stakeholders.

Concurrently, SMBRC - with the aid of partner agencies such as the State Coastal Conservancy, Baldwin Hills Conservancy (BHC), Mountains Recreation Conservation Authority (MRCA), and City and County of Los Angeles - have embarked on the Lower Ballona Ecosystem Restoration Feasibility Study (LBERF) with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Stone Creek
UCLA and the University Lab School (ULS) campuses are conducting restoration efforts at Stone Creek which runs through the UCLA campus. Since 2007, the SMBRC has been working with support of the State Coastal Conservancy and the RWQCB to restore the stream with monthly volunteer weeding and planting events.
20 GLAC IRWM South Bay Subregional Plan
Dominguez Channel
The Dominguez Channel extends from the Los Angeles International Airport to the Los Angeles Harbor and drains large if not all portions of the cities of Inglewood, Hawthorne, El Segundo, Gardena, Lawndale, Redondo Beach, Torrance, Carson and Los Angeles. Dominguez Channel is in the Dominguez Watershed which is comprised of approximately 110 square miles of land in the southern portion of Los Angeles County. The remaining land areas within the watershed drain to several debris basins and lakes or directly to the Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbors. Because of the largely industrial land base in this watershed, very little native riparian vegetation remains. (RWQCB, 2008) Madrona Marsh
The Madrona Marsh Preserve, located in Torrance, is the last vernal marsh remaining in the South Bay Subregion. Ongoing efforts are restoring native plants including wildflowers and butterfly species. The area has long been popular with bird watchers and the Audubon Society has used Madrona Marsh for their annual bird census since 1967. El Camino College uses it as an outdoor biology and botany lab. Torrance operates the Madrona Marsh Nature Center in cooperation with the Friends of the Madrona Marsh. (Friends of Madrona Marsh, 2012)
Bixby Marshland
The Bixby Marshland is a remnant of a formerly extensive, natural-freshwater aquatic habitat known as Bixby Slough. Over the years, most of Bixby Slough was destroyed due to development. The Bixby Marshland, a 17-acre marsh, located to the northwest of the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County Joint Water Pollution Control Plant (JWPCP) near the intersection of Figueroa Street and Sepulveda Boulevard in the City of Carson, has recently been restored by the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County (SDLAC, 2012). Partial funding for this restoration eomer came from the Proposition 50 IRWM Grant Program.

Beach Bluff Restoration
Beach bluff restoration is underway at several locations within the Subregion. The Los Angeles Conservation Corps is working with at-risk youth to restore three acres of bluff habitat adjacent to a Youth Center at Dockweiler Beach. The site is a priority restoration site due to its proximity to other native plant habitat supporting the federally endangered El Segundo blue butterfly within the dunes just west of Los Angeles International Airport. The Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy (PVPLC) has implemented a number of nature preserves that will preserve beach bluff areas, including the Vicente Bluffs, Abalone Cove, Alta Vicente, and the future Ocean Trails preserves. (Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy, 2012)

2.6.3 Upland Habitat
Upland habitat that exists further inland serves as a linkage between aquatic habitats. Within the Subregion, these habitats include the Los Angeles Coastal Plain and the Santa Monica Mountains to the north. A majority of the coastal plain has been urbanized, which inhibits linkage between aquatic habitats. The small portion of the Santa Monica Mountains in the northern portion of the Subregion are by contrast mostly open space and free of development, but impacted by invasive species and water quality issues. (RWQCB, 2011) PVPLC has developed preserves in upland areas, including the following: Agua Amarga, Three Sisters, Upper Filiorum, Portuguese Bend, and San Ramon. In addition, Rolling Hills Estates has established the Linden H. Chandler Preserve and the George F. Canyon Nature Preserve, and San Pedro has established the Fuel Depot managed area and the White Point Nature Preserve. 21 GLAC IRWM South Bay Subregional Plan
4 Partnership and Multi-benefit Opportunities
Many agencies and other entities have successfully been working together for decades on many collaborative projects. For instance in this Subregion, the entire system of flood management, conservation of local water supply, and recreation is a longstanding set of activities and facilities that represents collaboration and integration among the Los Angeles County Flood Control District, West Basin MWD, the Water Replenishment District, other water agencies, LA County Dept of Parks & Recreation and others.

Projects that seek to enhance or extend these existing activities should be encouraged, because often they will be the most cost-effective.

Implementation of projects is the vehicle to meeting the objectives and planning targets discussed in Section

3. Integration and collaboration can help these projects achieve synergies and, at times, increase their cost- effectiveness in meeting multiple objectives. In addition to the collaboration described above, the GLAC IRWM Region will continue to build upon a wealth of potential multi-benefit project opportunities for partnership projects including:
• Local Supply Development: Alternative supply development such as distributed stormwater capture projects are often too costly for a water supply agency to construct on their own for water supply purposes only. The near-term unit cost can be well in excess of the cost of imported water.

However, partnerships often help to share the costs, thus providing opportunities for more complex, multi-benefit projects (such as water quality improvement) that otherwise might not be accomplished.
• Improving Stormwater Quality: In preparing this update of the IRWM Plan, a methodology to identify priority drainage areas based on their ability to improve water quality for the coastal and terrestrial waters was developed. Integrated projects that can provide water quality benefits can be cited relative to that prioritization to achieve the highest benefits. • Integrated Flood Management: Earlier studies, such as the Sun Valley Watershed Management Plan (2004), demonstrated the potential for similar cost-effective synergies between flood control, stormwater quality management, water supply, parks creation and habitat opportunities. Flood control benefits usually achieved through significant traditional construction projects can sometimes be accomplished with alternative multi-benefit projects. • Open Space for Habitat and Recreation: When habitat is targeted for restoration, there are often opportunities for cost-effective implementation of flood control, stormwater management and passive recreation (such as walking and biking trails) as well.

These benefit synergies and cost effectiveness outcomes can best be attained when the unique physical, demographic and agency service area attributes of the region are considered. In addition to existing collaborative processes, the GLAC IRWMP has developed the geodatabase tool to assist in identifying areas and partnerships conducive to both inter-subregional and intra-subregional integrated project development. This section discusses these tools as well as some preliminary analyses on the South Bay Subregion's potential partnerships and integrated project opportunities.

4.1 GLAC IRWMP Integration Process and Tools
As part of the objectives and targets update process, the GLAC Region compiled and developed several geo- reterenced data layers to assist in spatially identifying priorities and potential opportunities to achieve water supply, water quality, habitat, recreation and flood management benefits. These data layers were initially used individually to determine the objectives and planning targets for each water management 32 GLAC IRWM South Bay Subregional Plan
area. However, these datasets can also be overlaid to visually highlight areas with the greatest potential to provide multiple benefits. The resulting Potential Benefits Geodatabase (Geodatabase) can also align these areas relative to other layers containing agency service areas and jurisdictions - allowing for project proponents and partners to be identified.

Potential Benefits Geodatabase
The GLAC IRWMP Potential Benefits Geodatabase is a dynamic tool that should be updated as new data is made available in order to maintain its relevance in the IRWM planning context. However, in order to provide an analysis of potential integration and partnership opportunities for the 2013 GLAC IRWM Plan, current data layers were overlaid and analyzed. The key layers used are shown in Figure 14 and described in Table 11. It should be noted that these datasets may not be complete or in need of further refinement and therefore will be updated on an as-needed basis - which is part of the dynamic process previously described. Therefore, the Geo-database should only be used as an initial step in identifying multi-benefit potential and by no means used to invalidate the potential for achieving benefits in other areas.

Using the Geodatabase
The Geodatabase is a dynamic visual tool. The data layers and maps shown in this Section are only some of a multitude of ways to package and view the datasets to help with the integration process. It is important to note that not all data that could be useful in identifying integration and partnership potential for the region is easily viewed spatially in this format. ThereforeTherefore, the Geodatabase should only be used as one of several potential integration tools or methods.

The Geodatabase can also be used to identify the potential for further integration between existing projects included in an IRWMP. Currently the GLAC Region has web-based project database (OPTI) that 33 GLAC IRWM South Bay Subregional Plan

Groundwater quality in the ULARA Basins is managed by the ULARA Watermaster which reports on water quality, treatment and remedial investigation activities in its annual report. The overall quality of the ULARA Sasıns is generally within the recommended limits of drinking water standards, except for those areas of concen isted in Table 8. Groundwater pumped from these areas (for those wells that haven't been shut down) ar treated to meet state drinking water standards.

Within the San Fernando Valley, three Operable Units (OUs) have been created as part of long-term groundwater mediation activities in the san rernando Basın.
due to VOCs. Various groundwater quality investigations are also taking place throughout the ULARA Basins to determine the cause and extent of the above listed contamination.

Raymond Basin groundwater quality is managed by the Raymond Basin Management Board. This basin provides potable supply, with good to fair groundwater quality in most areas. Constituents of concern include TDS, nitrate, perchlorate, and VOCs. There is one Superfund site located at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) due to liquid waste seepage which released perchlorate and VOCs into the groundwater. Water agencies which pump from the Raymond Basin have treatment facilities in place to treat groundwater for VOCs and Perchlorate.

Within the ULAR Subregion (San Fernando, Sylmar and Verdugo Basins), nitrate and hexavalent chromium contamination are known to be prevalent. As of June 2017, there are no known impacts to communities, as mitigation is currently underway. Water agencies that pump water must be compliant with all drinking water regulations.

Currently, a number of efforts between City of Los Angeles, City of San Fernando, City of Burbank, City of Glendale, and Crescenta Valley Water District are underway to treat groundwater contamination. Figures 11, 12, and 13 show maps of hexavalent chromium and nitrate contamination in the Eastern Portion of the San Fernando Basin.

Groundwater Quality
Groundwater quality in the San Gabriel Basin (which includes all basins discussed in the Groundwater Supply section except for Raymond Basin and Six Basins) is managed by the Main San Gabriel Basin Watermaster (Watermaster) under its authority from the court. The Watermaster administers the Main San Gabriel Basin Judgment and enforces its provisions which establish water rights and responsibility for management of quantity and quality of the groundwater. They review and adopt their "Five-Year Water Quality and Supply Plan" each year. In addition, the San Gabriel Basin Water Quality Authority (WQA) was created by the state legislature to promote improvement of groundwater quality in the San Gabriel Basin. Their Basin-wide Groundwater Quality Management and Remediation Plan is reviewed and adopted annually. This plan includes all projects that the WQA is facilitating, and identifies various funding sources to ensure full funding for each project. The San Gabriel Valley's groundwater basin has water quality issues across the basin that are being addressed by WQA projects with a focus on 1) accelerating removal of contaminant mass in the basin, 2) preventing migration of contamination into critical groundwater supplies, 3) integrating cleanup with water supply, and 4) minimizing economic impact to the public.

One of the primary constituents of concern in the groundwater basins of the Subregion is volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which are used primarily in industrial and commercial activities. Over time, VOCs have leached into the groundwater from ground disposal of chemicals. Additionally, the basins has-have been found to have high levels of NDMA, nitrate, perchlorate, and TDS, primarily caused by industrial and commercial activities. Also, hexavalent chromium, arsenic, and radon have been detected as well.

Groundwater quality specific to each basin will be discussed below.

Water pumped from the Main San Gabriel Basin is used as potable supply. Though water quality is good in most areas, constituents of concern for the Main San Gabriel Basin include high TDS, nitrate, VOCs, perchlorate, and NDMA. Hexavelent chromium has also been detected at low levels. Due to industrial and commercial contamination, five Operable Units (OUs) have been defined by the US EPA's Superfund Program: Baldwin Park OU, El Monte OU, Puente Valley OU, Whittier Narrows OU, and Area 3 OU.

Each of these OUs has a specific plan laid out to address contamination remediation. SeveralMany treatment facilities are in place to treat groundwater pumped out of this basin. (San Gabriel Basin Water Quality Authority, 2012)
The Puente Basin underlies an area in the south east portion of the Subregion and is managed by the Puente Basin Watermaster. Puente Basin groundwater is used as a non-potable supply due to its poor quality, and is used for blending with recycled water, construction water and irrigation. Constituents of concern include TDS, Nitrate, hexavalent chromium, and VOCs. Remediation is underway to remove VOCsaddress these contaminants in the US EPA's Puente Valley Operable Unit which is located in the western portion of the basin. (MWDSC, 2007) Six Basins has varying water quality, much of which can easily be considered potable through blending or other simple remediation efforts. Primary constituents of concern include nitrate, perchlorate and VOCs. Some areas also have high levels of arsenic and radon. Several of the pumpers in Six Basins treat the groundwater for these contaminants. New projects to offset the shutdown of wells due to water quality have been considered and studies are being completed to determine a means of improving this area's groundwater quality. (MWDSC, 2007) The Raymond Basin underlies the north-western portion of the Subregion and is managed by the Raymond Basin Management Board. This basin provides potable supply, with good to fair groundwater quality in most areas. Constituents of concern include TDS, nitrate, perchlorate, and VOCs. There is one Superfund site located at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) due to liquid waste seepage which released perchlorate and VOCs into the groundwater. Water agencies which pump from the Raymond Basin have treatment facilities in place to treat groundwater for VOCs and Perchlorate. (MWDSC, 2007) This basin is an unmanaged basin primarily used as a non potable supply due to water quality issues. Constituents of concern include nitrate and TDS. Perchlorate and VOCs have also been detected in the basin.

GLAC-IRWMP
Climate Change Vulnerability Exercise
The GLAC IRWM Climate Change Subcommittee conducted an exercise to answer-a vulnerability questions assessment aligned with taken from Box 4-1 of the Climate Change Handbook and associated the answers with concerning potential water management issues/vulnerabilities. Table 1 summarizes the analysis and was updated based upon the latest local climate research within the Los Angeles region. Qualitative vulnerability questions are framed to help assess resource sensitivity to climate change and prioritization of climate change vulnerabilities within a region.

Answers to vulnerability questions are given for the GLAC Region with local examples provided as justification for the answer.
