The Washington Boulevard Stormwater Diversion Project will reduce pollutants from reaching the Marina del Rey Harbor and local beaches by diverting the discharge of stormwater and dry-weather runoff into the sanitary sewer system. Additionally, it will result in Culver City’s compliance with the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board’s Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System Permit and the Marina del Rey Enhanced Watershed Management Program Plan. To learn more about this project, visit the Washington Boulevard Stormwater Diversion Project webpage for more information.
