Presentation by CSUMB class ENVS 660 to stormwater management staff from City of Pacific Grove, City of Monterey, Monterey Regional Storm Water Management Program, and Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, 20 th Sep 2011.

Field Methods• Located outfalls 10” diameter and greater

• Coordinates & measurements recorded• Photographed

• Field validated GIS delineated watersheds

Delineation Methods• Imported storm drain mains data

and Digital Elevation Model• Reclassified storm drain raster to be binary • Subtracted reclassified storm drain raster from the DEM to

create “burned” DEM. • Imported storm drain outfall location data • Hydrology Tools within Spatial Analyst

• Fill analysis • Directional analysis • Accumulation analysis • Edited outfalls • Watershed analysis

Watershed Boundaries

Land Use

• Land use data source:  Monterey County Tax Assessor’s Office and City of Pacific Grove.• Impervious cover data source: USGS, NLCD 2006

Next steps • Prioritize delineated watersheds according to mitigation needs• Collect data necessary for hydrologic modeling

• Precipitation• local, high-resolution

• Outfall discharge• Key outfalls

• Soil Characteristics• Field verification

• Continued water quality monitoring• Build and calibrate watershed model

• Greenwood Park given priority• Assess mitigation measures feasibility using model simulations

• Restructure and reassess mitigation designs if needed• Implement mitigation measures• Continue monitoring
