AGENDA REPORT
REPORTS
AGENDA ITEM NO. D.1
DATE: September 23, 2025
TO: Public Works and Transportation Committee
FROM: Michael Wolfe, Public Works Director, (805) 385-8055, [email protected]
SUBJECT: Channel Island Harbor Water Quality Update from the Channel Island Neighborhood Council Marine Advisory Committee. (10 minutes)
RECOMMENDATION
That the Public Works and Transportation Committee forward an update regarding Channel Island Harbor water quality from the Channel Island Neighborhood Council Marine Advisory Committee to the City Council as a receive and file item.
(Live presentation by the Marine Advisory Committee.)
BACKGROUND
The Channel Islands Harbor is a harbor constructed in the 1960s with abutting commercial and residential developments. In June 2018, an algal bloom occurred in the Harbor. The bloom was followed by widespread low levels of dissolved oxygen in the water. This is presumably related to the bacterial decomposition of algae during warm weather conditions. The bloom and subsequent low oxygen event may have been caused or made worse by the changes in the Harbor water circulation occurring after the Mandalay Power Generating Station was decommissioned on March 29, 2018, as mandated by the California State Water Resources Control Board.
Since then, the City of Oxnard (“City”), the County of Ventura (“County”), and residents of the Channel Islands Neighborhood Council (“CINC”), to include a Marine Advisory Committee (MAC), have organized efforts to address water quality issues in the Harbor.
DISCUSSION
On May 7, 2024, the City Council authorized an agreement with Craftwater Engineering Inc to conduct a harbor water quality feasibility study (“Study”). The study is approximately 85% complete and anticipated to be completed before the end of this calendar year. As part of the deliverables from this study, there will be recommendations for projects and programs that can be implemented to help address water quality in the harbor as well as roughly defined program tracks to complete the identified projects.
In advance of the finalization of the Study, the MAC has requested to provide some history on the harbor water quality issue and has created the attached video. The video will be played at the Public Works and Transportation Committee meeting and is available here for reference. Members of the MAC will be present to answer questions.
9 STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
This agenda item is a routine operational item or does not relate to the five strategic priorities adopted by City Council on March 16, 2021.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no direct financial impact to receive and file this report.
