City of Gardena:

City of Hawthorne:

$2 million for the design and construction of storm drain pipes and infiltration chambers along Hawthorne Blvd. at locations that are subject to frequent flooding.

City of Lawndale:

$   700,000 for storm drain improvements along 153rd Street.
$1,000,000 for storm drain improvements along Firmona Avenue.

$   220,000 for storm drain improvements along Saylor Avenue.

Water Replenishment District (WRD) of Southern California:

West Basin Municipal Water District:

$25 million for the Harbor/South Bay Water Recycling Project, which consists of a treatment facility and distribution system that will annually develop up to 48,000 acre-feet of recycled water for municipal, industrial, and environmental purposes in the Los Angeles area.
