Recycle the Runoff Workshop
On November 10, at 9:00am, join the LA County Sanitation Districts and the Council for Watershed Health for a virtual workshop exploring stormwater diversions as tools to improve water quality and capture dry-weather and wet-weather flows for treatment. The workshop will offer a roadmap for stormwater permittees interested in planning and implementing stormwater diversions in LA County. Expert panelists will cover the requirements, permitting needs, costs, benefits, and limitations of diversion projects. Other agencies considering stormwater diversions under SB 273 will get an in-depth look at the evaluation and acceptance process used by LA County Sanitation Districts, a large agency with extensive experience in stormwater diversion.

Municipalities and institutions interested in sewer diversions, designers developing detailed diversion plans, and other agencies looking for information on how to accept sewer diversions are encouraged to attend. Register here.
