Invitation to participate in a joint Dominguez Channel/Harbor Toxic
TMDL Monitoring Program
On May 11, 2011, the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles
Region adopted the “Dominguez Channel and Greater Harbors Toxic TMDL”. This
TMDL requires cities and agencies (permittees) tributary to the Los Angeles and San
Gabriel Rivers to conduct monitoring for toxic pollutants as defined by that TMDL.
These pollutants and the associated testing method require the installation of
specialized monitoring equipment. To reduce costs, the Gateway Water Management
Authority (GWMA) has been requested to act as the fiduciary agent for the installation
of and subsequent monitoring at three monitoring stations. All participating permittees
will share the cost, responsibility and testing results.
The three monitoring stations will be located at or near:
•
•
•
The existing Los Angeles River mass emission station at Wardlow,
Spring Street and the San Gabriel River (a new installation), and
The existing Coyote Creek mass emission station at Spring Street.
Attached is the estimated cost share matrix for all three of the monitoring sites. To
participate in the program, Permittees will be required to sign an Agreement with
GWMA. Due to the number of permittees involved, the Agreement is not subject to
altering or customization. Cost shares were developed based on each watershed
group paying (1) a shared baseline fee and (2) a fee based on area. Individual
permittees were collectively assessed a shared baseline fee as if they were a group
and an area fee. These are preliminary estimates which are likely to change as the
number of participants is confirmed and final installation and monitoring cost are
provided by the monitoring consultant. GWMA will also assess a 3% administrative
fee for GWMA members and a 5% administrative fee for non-members to cover the
cost of administering this program.
