CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO -REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Staff Report
Subject:
Resolution authorizing the submittal of a grant application for Nonpoint Source Pollution
Control Program funds for the construction of Vision Creek Project.
Background:
The City of San Bernazdino in coordination with the proposed Caltrans I-215 freeway widening
project, and the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District (SBVMWD) is proposing a
rather unique cost effective water reclamation/ water diversion project that qualifies under the
State Water Resources Control Board's (SWRCB) Nonpoint Source Pollution Control Program.
The Vision Creek Project proposes to divert I-215 Freeway stone water and landscaping
irrigation run off along the east side of the freeway between Olive Street and Base Line Street.
The run off will flow through a series of drainage clarifiers located within the freeway right-of-
way, into existing lateral drainage pipes, terminating into the project's proposed drainage channel
(urban stream). The urban stream concept will simulate actual creek bed flow on a constant
basis, fed by a water source that is provided from the project's planned retention pond in the
vicinity of Base Line Street at "G" Street. The stream is initially designed to flow adjacent to the
freeway along the West Side of "H" Street, between Base Line Street and Olive Street where it
will terminate into an existing "H" Street stone drain channel.
The urban stream will provide both year round water drainage capability for 5 yeaz flood as well
as 100 yeaz flood within the 100' right of way that is proposed for the stream bed. The stream
bed right-of--way shall also function as a landscaped pedestriarilbicycle walkway that will
compiement the proposed Downtown Revitalization Project and is planned to ultimately intersect
the Santa Ana River Trail located a few miles southerly of this location. The project will also
provide acost-effective alternative to the freeway widening project's required underground
drainage complex.
The upstream retention basin included in this project would also significantly reduce the City's
cost to ultimately repair the Mormon Drain through the downtown as well as the cost to relocate
this facility through the northerly lake as shown in the current Downtown Revitalization Project.
The Downtown Revitalization Project was conceived to alleviate the City's high groundwater
table in the area and possible subsequent liquefaction activity during earthquake moments. The
Lakes and Streams Project (Phase I) will be situated between Base Line Street and 9th Street and
I-215 Freeway and "E" Street. The project proposes to develop a series of retention ponds with
connecting streams to circulate and store groundwater that has been drawn to lower the
previously mentioned high groundwater table.
The project is located in the Santa Ana Watershed District and is specifically located within the
San Bernardino Basin area. This basin is one of the largest groundwater basins in southern
California with an estimated 5.5 million acre-feet of water. The basin area is a primary water
supply for over 800,000 residents who reside and work in more than ten municipalities.

CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO -REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Staff Report -continued
The success and impact of the project will be measured through water quality source testing of
neazby wells, and the project's impact on the groundwater fluctuation levels at the retention basin
pump station to be located adjacent to the proposed location of the stream at Base Line Street and
"G" Street. The pedestrian walkway and open space buffer between properties and the I-215
freeway corridor is also enhancing the aesthetics of this azea. In addition, local residents will see
their community being transformed in a positive manner toward a healthier reduced pollution
environment and open space.
The deadline for application submittal was Februazy 1, 2002 and staff learned of the opportunity on
January 28, 2002. Given that only a two page preliminary application was required, staff was able
to prepaze and submit an application in the time allowed, but of course did not have adequate time
to receive Council approval in advance.
PROJECT COSTS
En ineerin Desi n $150,000.00
Construction En ineerin $250,000.00
Ri ht-of-wa cost/ Home Ac uisition $750,000.00
Grade and install concrete ri ra stream channel $750,000.00
Construction of dentention desiltin basins/ onds $500,000.00
Storm drain construction $100,000.00
Contin enc $500,000.00
Pro'ect Total $3,000,000.00
The grant amount is $2,500,000.00 and the local match is $500,000.00.
Financial Impact:
The grant guidelines require a local match of not less than 20% of the total project cost. In
accordance with that requirement, the City would be obligated to allocate local matching funds
of $500,000 if the grant is awazded. It is anticipated that this match would come from the Storm
Drain Fund, although staff would also approach the other impacted agencies such as Caltrans and
San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District to solicit their participation in local matching
fund.
Recommendation:
Adopt resolution.

J'LON CREEK (Phase Il: CONCEPT REPORT
• 1) The City of San Bemardino/ Development Services in coordination with the proposed Caltrans I-
215 freeway widening project, and the Municipal Water District is proposing a rather unique cost
effective water reclamation' water diversion project that qualifies under the State «'ater Resources
Control Board's (SWRCB) Nonpoint Source Pollution Control Program. The Vision Creek Project
proposes to divert I-215 Freeway storm water and landscaping irrigation run off along the east side of
the freeway between Olive Street and Base Line. The run off will flow through a series of drainage
clarifiers located within the freeway right-of--way, in[o existing lateral drainage pipes, terminating into
the project's proposed concrete lined with rock and gravel riprap trapezoidal drainage channel (urban
stream). The urban stream concept will simulate actual creek bed flow on a constant basis, fed by a
water source that is provided from the project's planned retention pond in the vicinity of Base Line at
"G" Streets. The stream is initially designed to flow adjacent to the freeway along the west side of "H"
Street, between Base Line and Olive Streets where it will terminate into an existing "H" Street storm
drain channel. Please review the attached project vicinity concept map.
The urban stream shall be multi-faceted in function, providing both year round water drainage
capability for 5-year flooding as well as 100-year flooding within the 100' right of way that is
proposed for the stream bed. The stream bed right-of--way shall also function as a landscaped
pedestrian bicycle walkway that will complement the proposed Downtown Revitalization Project and
is planned to ultimately intersect the Santa Ana River Trail located a few miles southerly of this
location. The project will also provide acost-effective alternative to the freeway widening project's
required underground drainage complex.
• The Downtown Revitalization Project was conceived to alleviate the City's high groundwater table
in the area and possible subsequent liquefaction activity during earthquake moments. The Lakes and
Streams Project (Phase I) will be situated between Base Line and 9th Streets and the [-215 Freeway
and "E" Street. The project proposes to develop a series of retention ponds with connecting streams to
circulate and store groundwater that has been drawn to lower the previously mentioned high
groundwater table.
The project is located in the Santa Ana Watershed District and is specifically located within the San
Bemardino Basin area. This basin is one of the largest groundwater basins in southern California with
an estimated 5.5 million acre-feet of water. The basin area serves as a primary water supply for over
800,000 residents that reside and work in more than ten municipalities.
The basin has been degraded over time with man's interaction and developmental activities which
have contributed extensive contaminates in the groundwater, causing local/ regional water agencies to
spend millions of dollars for clean up of the underground water supply. Contaminants in the basin
include TCE, PCE, DBPC, and Perchlorate. Additionally, there are several LUST sites within the basin
area where remediation activities are underway to prevent the migration of hydrocarbons, MTBE, and
the breakdown products from further contaminating the drinking water supplies.
One area of additional contaminant contribution to the groundwater, which this project intends to
address, can be storm water runoff being percolated to groundwater, rather than discharges to surface
water systems without treatment. Runoff from roads and freeways contain significant amounts of
hydrocarbons and related contaminants that, if allowed to migrate to groundwater, will require
• additional well-head treatment to insure that the groundwater will comply with all potable water
quality standards.
2) The goals and objectives of the Vision Creek Project are consistent with the application criteria
set forth in Prop 13 Article 2. Nonpoint Source Pollution Control Program• 7911 la: Best management
• practices, c) Management measures; 79114 (a) 2. A broad-based nonpoint source project... (b) The
projects funded from the subaccount shall demonstrate a capability of sustaining water quality benefits
for a period of twenty years. Categories of nonpoint source pollution addressed by projects may
include: urban runoff. hydromodification are project oualifiers. Projects to address nonpoint source
pollution include: engineered features to minimize impacts of nonpoint source pollution i a project
Qualifier.
3) The Vision Creek Project is compatible with the SWRCB Guidelines set forth for in Section 6 of
the ARD for: Management Measures for Urban Areas: 3.3 Runoff from Existing Development A)
Existing development; and F) Road, Highway and Bridge Runoff Systems. The project will
endeavor to alleviate the problems caused by urban (freeway) tvnoff and subsequent pollution of
~ groundwater resources by developing strategies that augment source reduction practices
throughout the three specified phases of development which are 1) design phase 2) construction
phase and 3) the post-development phase. The Vision Creek Project is also compatible with and
similar to the Inventory of Nonpoint Source Implementation Projects and Priorities (Santa Ana
Region) that are fisted in Section 4 of the ARD (page 23). The projects that are specifically similar
are: The Fountain Valley List: 10) Projects that divert nuisance flows throughout the region. 19)
Reduce urban runoff, the transport conveyance mechanism... Loma Linda List: 9) Enhanced
stormwater capture.. 22) drainage facilities to reduce/control runoff.
4) Scope of Work: Phase I :Base Line to Olive Street
• 5150,000. Design/Preliminary Engineering
5250.000. Construction Engineering
5750,000. Right-of--way costs/home acquisitions
5750,000. Grade and install concrete riprap stream channel
5500.000. Construction of detention desalting basins/ponds
5100,000. Storm drain construction
52,500,000. Project Cost utilizing best management practices and measures
+ $500,000 (20%) Local Match: City/ Municipal Water District contributions
5) The success and impact of the project will be measured through water quality source testing of
nearby wells and the project's impact on the groundwater fluctuation levels at the retention basin
pump station to be located adjacent to the proposed location of the stream at Base Line and "G"
Streets. The aesthetic value of the pedestrian walkway and open space buffet- between properties
and the I-215 freeway corridor is also worth mentioning.
6) The project will ensure community and stakeholder outreach involvement through a continuing
series of public meetings related to the "water project". Also, local residents will see and read in the
local newspaper about their community being transformed in a positive manner that emphasizes
humanistic appreciation of open space and a healthier pollution-free environment.
