Using the space provided or additional sheets if necessary, describe the essential
components of your project. Describe the need for the project, and the proposed
improvement to the existing condition.
1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Describe your proposed project including
a detail sheet(s) or engineering plans if applicable. Include a statement identifying
the needs to be addressed by your project and how your project will satisfy those
needs. Identify the parties responsible for project completion.
In 2011, City Hall had a new parking lot installed with a detention basin or
rain garden to slow and filter the stormwater through plantings. The
parking lot is designed for stormwater to flow into three flumes, be filtered
by rock, and drain into the rain garden. The initial planting of the rain
garden failed and while the soil systems still help retain and filter water,
the filtration can be enhanced with plants. This project is needed to replant
the rain garden and allow for proper maintenance of these areas. Not only
will the native plant rain garden allow for better filtration, but it will help
beautify the City Hall campus, serve as an educational opportunity for
green infrastructure, and provide pollinator habitat. The City of Riverside
will be responsible for planting the rain garden through contract services. If
the contractor is willing, we will have them involve a volunteer group in the
planting, to expand educational opportunities.

and/or homeowner associations to plan and complete the proposed project and the
role of each entity.
The City of Riverside will be responsible for this project. We will hire a
contractor to prepare the site and install the plantings and filter rock. We
also plan to contract with the installer to maintain the rain garden for the
first year to ensure proper establishment of the plants.

The City of Riverside is responsible for maintaining the stormwater system

ensure the plants are properly established and maintained .
