| 1050 | 14th Street Groundwater Recharge and Storm Water Quality Treatment Integration Facility | City of Upland | | | Communities within our watershed considered disadvantaged or severely disadvantaged by the US Census Bureau will directly benefit from this project in several ways. The regional benefits to water supply and water quality provide price stabilization and flexibility because increases in treatment and conveyance costs are avoided. The need for imported water, the most expensive source, is reduced. By percolating additional storm water, water quality in the entire basin is improved, reducing treatment costs for salt laden water. Utility costs are generally borne by all equally in that everyone must have utility services. Often, a low income/reduced billing rate is not offered, deeming it even more critical to keep costs as low as possible. Flood protection for low income areas is also enhanced due to more effective capture upstream. Increasing flood protection protects lives and property, a cost that is difficult to measure, but is vitally important. |

| 1168 | Modjeska Park Parking Detention/Infiltration Facility (Design Only) | City of Anaheim | | | As part of the Anaheim Barber City (ABC) Channel Tributary Area drainage study performed by the City in June 2009, 8 drainage areas were identified as deficient and did not meet the Citys allowable flood width requirement for a 10-yr storm event. The added storm water storage created will provide flood management to Drainage Area 12 a 792 acre area located within a disadvantaged community identified in the Study. The added capacity will help against the potential physical and monetary threats directly attributed to a flood. The treated storm water used to recharge the groundwater table will provide some minimal relief to the Citys dependence on water imported from the deltas--which will benefit the City including disadvantaged communities throughout the City. The potential benefits realized by replicating the project can magnify the benefits of flood management and ground water recharging across a local level to ultimately a regional level. |

The City of San Jacinto is one of the disadvantaged communities and the project is adjacent to it. In the current economy agriculture is losing money. The project would eliminate maintenance costs borne by adjacent agricultural operations to repair the old sand levee after nearly every storm. The re-establishment of habitat after large storm events would become unnecessary. The project would also help protect over 400 farm worker jobs. |
| 988 | San Jacinto River Riparian Habitat Restoration | Lake Elsinore and San Jacinto Watersheds Authority | | | 48% of the San Jacinto River subwatershed that drains into the watershed is designated as disadvantaged.This project will assist disadvantaged communities located in the cities and counties responsible by reducing their compliance costs with meeting the lake TMDL targets. |

| 1237 | The Menifee Recycled Water Pond Pump Station and Distribution Pipeline Project | Eastern Municipal Water District | | | The project enhances disadvantaged communities by supplying high quality locally produced recycled water in lieu of drinking water |
| 1015 | The Project consists of two detention basins and approximately 11,800 lineal feet of open channel and storm drains from Juniper Flats westerly. It represents Phase 1 of the four phase MDP. | City of Menifee | | | The Homeland/Romoland Watershed lies within the Homeland Census Designated Place (CDP) and the Romoland CDP. These CDPs had unemployment rates of 26.5% and 21.6%, respectively, as of May 2010, as well as median incomes ranging from 56.3% to 77.8% of the median income for the Riverside-SB Metro Statistical Area. Local residents are in need of both housing and employment, and local public agencies are currently unable to fund the infrastructure necessary to facilitate the development that would mitigate these shortages. The completion of the entire MDP would result in the addition of 41,555 housing units (including affordable housing) and 35,091,667 square feet of non-residential development, leading to 229,454 one-time construction jobs and 129,743 permanent jobs. This development would also provide significant public health and safety benefits to local residents, lower flood insurance rates, and add over $3 billion dollars of annual economic output once the entire MDP is built out. |
| 948 | The Quail Valley Groundwater Infiltration Improvements Project | City of Menifee | | | The community of Quail Valley is a severely Disadvantaged Community which is plagued by failing septic tanks which leak raw sewage into the community and into Canyon Lake a drinking water reservoir. The community is primarily Latino and many of the residents only speak Spanish. The residents lack the resources necessary to repair or maintain their failing septic tanks. This past winter, residents were observed walking through raw sewage while walking their children to the local elementary school. This route is directly in the proposed project area. This project would help mitigate the impacts of the flow of the raw sewage on this Disadvantaged Community. |
| 1234 | The San Jacinto Citrus In-Lieu Recycled Water Pond Pump Station and Distribution Pipeline Project | Eastern Municipal Water District | | | The project enhances disadvantaged communities by supplying high quality locally produced recycled water in lieu of drinking water |
| 1049 | Upper Santa Ana Watershed Alluvial Scrub Habitat Restoration Project and Mitigation Banking Assessment | San Bernardino Valley Water Conservation District | | | The District will collaborate with the IERCD, RCRCD and the UCC’s AmeriCorps Program to facilitate the regulatory approved enhancement and restoration activities. In particular, these organizations have been eradicating a variety of invasive plants identified as highly negative for water consumption and habitat degradation. This collaboration supports environmental justice as UCC is a key agency that seeks to redress inequitable access of disadvantaged groups to the growing green economy in public land management. Through the UCC AmeriCorps, disadvantaged young adults are trained by USFS and BLM public land managers, in environmental conservation and in green conversion tactics to reconvert public land to meet green industry standards and to create new jobs in restoration. Through IERCD’s existing programs, this project incorporates environmental education component including mentoring and job skills development to promote stewardship of natural resources and sustainability. |
