Recommendation to request City Manager to engage with the Los Angeles
Regional Water Quality Control Board during the upcoming rulemaking process for
the renewed Conditional Waiver of Waste Discharge Requirements for Discharges
of Trash from Nonpoint Sources to advance requirements that eliminate trash from
entering the Los Angeles River and ultimately Long Beach’s waters; and
Request City Manager to deepen multi-jurisdictional collaborations and
partnerships, and explore funding opportunities, public education and
accountability measures, and legislative and regulatory advocacy strategies to
improve the coordination, evaluation, enforcement, and effectiveness of regional
watershed debris mitigation efforts along the Los Angeles River to meaningfully
reduce impacts on Long Beach.
