The document summarizes the water management plan for the Orange County Great Park in Irvine, California. It details the construction of a storm water reuse pond system to capture and store runoff from the park's South Lawn area. The pond system provides around 55% of the irrigation needs for the South Lawn and helps meet stormwater permit requirements. It has received recognition for its cost-effective design and its role in supporting the park's sustainability goals. The pond system is intended to be expandable to accommodate future phases of park development.

The International Centre for Environmental Management (ICEM) led this session on using green infrastructure as nature based solutions to create resilience and sustainability in development of Mekong countries. The session gave an overview of the different types of green infrastructure and their potentials for resilience, citing examples in Myanmar and the Mekong.

Lake Accotink Dredge Public Meeting Combined Presentation July 29 & aug 5...Fairfax County
Lake Siltation
Lake Accotink has been dredged three times over the past 40 years.
The most recent dredging was completed in May 2008.
An average of 20,000 CY of sediment is deposited in the lake per year.
The estimated average depth of the lake is less than 4 feet.
Park Master Plan Process
Master Plan began Spring 2016.
5 Public Meetings/Workshops held with Community.
6 Lake Management Options were shared with the public.
90% of public comments favored having the lake.
Board of Supervisors Approval of Funding
BOS approved request to seek funding for up to $30.5 million to proceed with Lake Accotink Dredging in October 2019 .
February 11, 2014 public meeting presentation for three proposed stormwater facility management projects off of Cabin Branch of Great Seneca Creek. (powerpoint file)
Restore ~4,000 feet by returning the form and function of the channel to dynamic equilibrium and improve the ecological processes of the riparian corridor.
Rabbit Branch at Collingham Drive Stream Restoration Information Meeting - Ju...Fairfax County
The goal of the stream restoration project is to build an ecologically sound restoration that balances water quality benefits with riparian function and park user experience.

The Sunshine State will always experience growth, whether rapid or slow. This growth will continue to drain the cheap and easy water resources of the State. This session will provide an overview of how three local governments have completely redesigned their long range planning program to incorporate potable water issues into their comprehensive and current plans. The
determination of demand, the single utility provider structure, and the costs of these infrastructure projects will be discussed. For local planners, the need and ability to implement long range plans through collaboration between the utility engineer and the planner will be stressed.

The plan is to return the form and function of the channel to dynamic equilibrium and improve the ecological processes of the riparian corridor within the constraints of the developed landscape.

2. Background on the Orange County Great Park
Largest-scale Metropolitan Park of the 21st Century
1,200 acres on former MCAS El Toro, in Irvine.
Guiding Principles from 2007 Great Park Master Plan:
Be forward thinking in innovative design
Implement programs for environmental
sustainability
Lead the charge on environmental
stewardship
4. Original 2007 Great Park Master Plan
modified through public park design review in 2011
5. Park Development Challenges
Cost to irrigate planned non-native
landscaping
Cost to construct canyon, lake, and other
water features
RWQCB municipal storm water permit
requirements for new development
low impact development (LID) features to capture, treat, and
release (eventually reuse) design storm volume.
6. Solution – Prepare Water Management Plan
for Build-out of Park
Begin with a Water Balance Model and Graphic to:
Locate water storage features throughout Park to
maximize storage of on-site runoff
Examine diversion of off-site storm water flows to on-site
storage water features
Model volume requirements for storage versus historical
rainfall data; dry and wet years
Identify maximum water needs throughout Park and adjust
landscaping plant palettes
6
9. WMP Recommendation
Build approx. 260 acre-feet of raw water storage at full
build-out, plus BMP/other treatment facilities and low
water demand plant palette would:
Produce approx. 60% of Park’s irrigation demand during typical
rainy season and approx. 40% on an average annual basis. Big
life-cycle cost savings!
Meet existing and future storm water permit requirements and
protect downstream receiving water quality
Be expandable/scalable for future phases of Park build-out
Provide potential LID mitigation credits for adjacent development
(potential revenue source)
Results in a sustainable park design!

24. South Lawn Pond System – Notable Facts
Could provide approx. 55% of irrigation demand for South Lawn
Meets storm water permit requirements; helps protect water
quality of downstream receiving waters
Designed to be expandable. New areas can flow to South Lawn
ponds; decrease LID costs for future Park build out
Provides LID compliance opportunity for adjacent development
Low electrical consumption (200,278 Kwh/yr); could be powered
by 10,000 sf of solar panels
Aligns with Park’s sustainability goals
Design qualifies for LEED certification

25. Recent Recognition
Project recognized by state water quality officials as a
“Major breakthrough in cost effective storm water
capture and reuse design.”
