| Riverside Drive Detention Basin Improvements | |||||
| Project Description: The purpose of this project is to convert the Riverside Drive/Grove Ave. basin from a single use storm-water detention basin to a multi-use basin which will increase low salinity ground water recharge and reduce dairy waste overflow into a wildlife refuge in the Santa Ana River. For further information, please contact Barrett Kehl at 909/626-2711. | |||||
| Project Outcome: (coming soon) | |||||
| Rathbun Creek / Big Bear Lake Sedimentation Nutrient Control Project | |||||
| Project Description: The objective of this project is to improve the water quality in Big Bear Lake by continuing an established program with individual land owners and cooperating resource agencies to reduce the sedimentation (soil run off) and nutrients entering the lake. For further information, please contact Viola Slade at 909/799-7407x104. | |||||

| Orange Co. Landscape Performance Program | |||||
| Project Description: The objective of this project is to quantify the nonpoint source (NPS) pollution or polluted runoff reduction benefits resulting from the use of more efficient residential irrigation scheduling and environmentally sensitive landscape maintenance practices. For further information, please contact Joseph Berg at 714/593-5008 | |||||

| Agricultural Best Management Practices Implementation, San Diego Creek | |||||
| Project Description: This project will evaluate the effectiveness of placement of various Best Management Practices (BMPs) on agricultural production sites located within the Newport Bay Watershed, with the goal of improving the quality of surface runoff moving off-site. Implementation of BMPs will be through workshops and individual consultations with growers. For further information, please contact Dr. Laosheng Wu at 949/733-3970. | |||||

| Santa Ana Watershed Volunteer Monitoring and Public Outreach Program | |||||
| Project Description: This project has conducted community outreach and education to increase public awareness of the general sources and ways NPS pollution can be prevented. The project has provided monitoring data to assist the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board in targeting the nonpoint sources (NPSs) (or polluted run off sources) of urban runoff. For further information, please contact Ray Hiemstra at 949/723-5424. | |||||
| Project Outcome: (9/2005 Update) For 2 ½ years, 300 fully trained volunteers monitored 27 sites on seven streams across 3 counties for over 5,000 volunteer hours. There were just under 2,000 monitoring events where information on flow, dissolved oxygen, pH, conductivity, bacteria, nutrients, and metals was collected. Bioassessments (biological evaluations) were also done at each site. Ten schools participated, resulting in hundreds of additional students participating to some degree, along with other volunteers who also did not stay for the full training.
