Meetings are held in person at the SMCHD Administration Building, 504 Avenue Alhambra, Ste. 200, El Granada. Agenda. General Manager’s Report, Jim Pruett reports.
Deer Creek Outfall
Harbor District Staff has begun socializing/discussion a concept to re-route Deer Creek from the current outfall (see yellow line below) within the Harbor breakwater, to Surfers Beach.
The re-routing of the creek would daylight it from its entry on the Burnham Strip near Spangler’s Market to the outfall on Surfers Beach. (See blue line below).
This would provide natural filtration via a bioswale to aid in complying with the TMDL requirements set by the California Water Board, as well as prevent the sand buildup at the launch ramp caused by the outfall within the Harbor.
A bioswale is a linear, vegetated, sunken landscape depression that conveys, treats, and infiltrates stormwater runoff, functioning as an alternative to traditional storm sewer systems. By using plants, mulch, and engineered soil, bioswales slow water flow to filter pollutants like sediment, nutrients, and heavy metals before the water reaches storm drains or natural water bodies.
