Multiobjective Approaches in Freshwater Wetland Restoration and Design
Water quality problems in receiving waters in the Los Angeles area, and recent federal, state, and local environmental ordinances oblige large developments in California to cleanse urban stormwater runoff on-site before releasing it into storm drains, natural streams, or into the ocean. As a requirement for a land development permit, a channellpond system was engineered to provide three independent functions: flood control for existing and proposed developments, urban stormwater runoff treatment, and freshwater habitat for fish and wildlife. These functions are achieved by designing the channel as a riparian corridor with a freshwater wetlandpond at the downstream end. This article presents an overview of the current regulations, a description of Best Management Practices (BMPs), and the example design of the riparian corridorlfreshwater wetland system emphasizing hydraulic analysis and design, biotic design, environmental function and effectiveness, management, operation, monitoring and maintenance, and project permit requirements.
