Lawndale Southern Revitalization Project Feasibility Study

Herrera is leading the stormwater management design of a proposed stormwater capture project in Lawndale, California. The project will help the City of Lawndale achieve its stormwater capture goals while providing multiple benefits to the neighborhood and surrounding environment, including opportunities for water quality improvement and incorporation of native, drought tolerant vegetation in an otherwise urban area. The project is an opportunity to incorporate infiltration BMPs to capture and treat stormwater runoff before entering the region’s waterways. The project will help to address the City’s municipal stormwater permit while also aligning with the goals of the Los Angeles County’s Safe, Clean Water (SCW) Program. Herrera is also developing a project monitoring plan to evaluate and verify BMP performance and also developed capital and life-cycle costs to build, operate, and maintain the facilities throughout their lifetime.
