UMC_Feasibility_Study_Final.pdf

This is a feasibility study document prepared for the Upper Malibu Creek (UMC) Watershed area in Ventura County, California, involving the Las Virgenes Municipal Water District (LVMWD) and the Triunfo Water and Sanitation District (TWSD). The study evaluates the technical and economic feasibility of implementing a stormwater diversion and reuse project at Ocho Rios Way (CI 5600) within the Upper Malibu Creek Watershed. The project aims to design and engineer a stormwater diversion system that will capture dry weather stormwater flows and redirect them to the nearby downstream sewer system for conveyance to the Tapia Water Reclamation Facility (TWRF), which operates under joint ownership of LVMWD and TWSD through the Las Virgenes-Triunfo Joint Powers Authority. The feasibility study provides comprehensive analysis of project scope, engineering requirements, environmental considerations, and implementation strategies necessary to support the design and engineering phase of the stormwater diversion initiative.

The feasibility study serves as foundational documentation for potential procurement of design and engineering services for the stormwater diversion project. The document addresses technical requirements, cost estimates, permitting pathways, and operational considerations for treating and utilizing diverted stormwater flows at TWRF. The study identifies necessary funding mechanisms and evaluates project viability to support future contract awards and project implementation in the Upper Malibu Creek Watershed service area.
