List of Plans

• Common Ground, from the Mountains to the Sea – subtitled Watershed and Open Space Plan for the San Gabriel and Los Angeles Rivers, was created as a requirement of the statute which created the RMC.
• Lower Los Angeles River Revitalization Plan – As mandated by California State Assembly Bill 530, the Plan is intended to revitalize the Lower Los Angeles River encompassing one mile on each side of the 19-mile river from the City of Vernon to the City of Long Beach. The plan was developed through a watershed-based, equitable, community-driven process and it identified 155 potential multi-benefit projects that would improve community economics, health and equity; the public realm; and water and the environment along and in the vicinity of the river. The Plan is incorporated into the Los Angeles River Master Plan Update.
• Historical Ecology and Landscape Change of the San Gabriel River and Floodplain – In 2007, the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project (SCCWRP) in collaboration with several technical partners developed a report containing a framework for understanding the historical extent and function of the San Gabriel River and floodplain. The technical report analyzed historical land grant sketches, maps, surveys, field notes, essays, and aerial and ground photographs to document the historical acreage and distribution of wetland and riparian habitat, the historical extent and spatial distribution of the floodplain, the composition and spatial distribution of riparian vegetation community types and species, and the factors associated with landscape changes in the San Gabriel River watershed. The SCCWRP and partners then produced technical resources, including maps and plant lists, intended to provide planners with ecological restoration and conservation management options and templates based in historical ecosystem functions.
