Analysis: The East Garden Grove Wintersburg Channel Urban Runoff Diversion Project
Phase I (Talbert Lake Project - Phase 1) will divert up to 1 million gallons per day (mgd) of
urban runoff from the East Garden Grove Wintersburg Channel, through pre-treatment
devices, into a 15-acre area in Central Park for treatment to remove numerous pollutants.
The project will protect the beneficial uses of our coastal waters and provide multiple benefits
to the region, including enhancement of habitat value, educational opportunities, increased
park attendance and recreational opportunities, groundwater recharge and seawater
intrusion barrier enhancements.
The Urban Greening Program provides funds to preserve, enhance, increase or establish
community green areas. The goal for these greening projects is to incrementally create more
viable and sustainable communities throughout the State.
Although the Urban Greening grant is not expected to fully fund the project, staff and their
project consultant are working with the State regarding the possibility of constructing the
project in additional phases within available budget. The total construction cost estimate for
the project is currently $5,200,000. The Urban Greening grant would cover any necessary
design modifications and construction of the wetland treatment trains of the project, which
are estimated at approximately $2 million.
Applications are due to the State on. May 13, 2011. Award of funding is expected to be
announced in early 2012.
Public Works Commission Action: Not Required
Environmental Status: Mitigated Negative Declaration was approved by the City in 2008.
