In the hopes of reducing pollution and runoff in the Santa Monica Bay, the City Council will hire an outside company to evaluate one of its sub-watershed facilities.
An $88,600 probe — the Santa Monica Municipal Airport Sub-Watershed Evaluation Study — will identify ways to evaluate and rank runoff and pollution control at the airport’s watershed, located near Pico Boulevard and 18th Street. The watershed will be the first of 13 in the city to have its business management practices evaluated and made consistent with the city’s watershed management plan.
