DAC Benefit
ClaimedJustification of DAC Benefits Provided by the Applicant
11 Lower Los Angeles River Compton Blvd Et. Al. Project Unincorporated within DAC YesThe project will provide new pedestrian and bike infrastructure and improved water quality for the
disadvantaged community of East Rancho Dominguez and the City of Compton.
12 Lower Los Angeles RiverFurman Park Stormwater Capture and Infiltration
ProjectDowney <0.5 mile Yes
Several DACs are including within the tributary area (see attached map). The project plans to improve the park
facilities within the community and provides a refreshed and restored park surface where the current irrigation
system leaves dead grass and poor coverage. The park is a gathering space for the community and will be
rehabilitated with new facilities in conjunction with this stormwater capture project. The design will comply with
all LA County anti-displacement avoidance measures to ensure local community development.
13 Lower Los Angeles River John Anson Ford Park Infiltration Cistern Bell Gardens within DAC Yes
According to the 2010 U.S. Census, there are 9,808 households in the City of Bell Gardens with 76% living in
rental units within one of the most densely inhabited urban neighborhoods. The majority of residents are of low-
to-moderate income level with 28% of residents living below poverty level. The Project will result in new native
habitat, develop educational signage, and implement docent training programs to highlight and inform park
users and the local community of the water conservation, native habitat, and water quality aspects being
implemented beneath their feet. Overall, the improvements to the park will capitalize on the critical need to
address groundwater recharge and water quality challenges that disadvantaged communities face, significantly
compounded by its highly urbanized environment.
