Citywide Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMP) Implementation

Project TypeConstruction: Stormwater Infrastructure
Project ScheduleDesign/Public Outreach 2024, Construction 2025

Project Overview

The Public Works Department Environmental Programs and Operations Division is executing the Culver City Citywide Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMP) Implementation Project (Project) in conformance with the Stormwater Quality Master Plan (SWQMP) adopted in 2021.

The SWQMP was developed to guide the City’s stormwater quality compliance strategy, prioritize best management practices, prioritize spending, identify potential project partners, and maximize grant funding opportunities. SWQMP is used to achieve compliance with the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit, the Ballona Creek Enhanced Watershed Management Program (EWMP), the Marina del Rey EWMP, and multiple Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) requirements.

Stormwater BMPs are solutions for controlling the quality and quantity of stormwater the runoff on land and waterways during storm events.

Project Goals & Benefits

The Project will provide multiple benefits in addition to addressing regulatory requirements.

Contribute towards the City’s Enhanced Watershed Management Program (EWMP) implementation goals
Reduce local dependency on imported water through groundwater recharge
Educate local communities through education and outreach
Leverage available funding sources
Reduce localized flooding in the Project drainage area
Provide community enhancements through surface restoration and improvements

Pickford Way (near the Cota Street intersection): utilizes a combination of bioretention planters and pervious pavement for infiltration
Segrell Way (near the Slauson Avenue intersection): utilizes a combination of bioretention planters and pervious pavement with underdrains
Jasmine Avenue (near the Le Bourget Avenue intersection): utilizes a combination of drywells and bioretention planters for infiltration
Revere Place (near the Ballona Creek Bike Path): utilizes pervious pavement with an underdrain
Wesley Street (near the Higuera Street intersection): utilizes a combination of bioretention planters and pervious pavement for infiltration
Northgate Street (near the Overland Avenue intersection): utilizes a combination of bioretention planters and subsurface infiltration chambers for infiltration
Galvin Street (near the Overland Avenue intersection): utilizes a combination of bioretention planters and subsurface infiltration chambers for infiltration
