Water Quality Improvement Urban/Residential Stormwater Management
The project will implement vegetated bioswales, rain gardens, and gravel inclusion basins, alongside three roadways on Camp San Luis Obispo, a military installation in the District. The objective of the project is to reduce sediment and nutrient loading in Chorro Creek to improve downstream water quality conditions for steelhead trout through stormwater management and improve monarch and pollinator habitat on the base. The implemented structures will slow and treat stormwater flows, prevent and reduce erosion, and improve infiltration before entering Chorro Creek. The project is set to go to construction Summer of 2023.
