If you're looking for official documents pertaining to the Sun Valley Watershed Project, this is the place. The keystone is the Final Sun Valley Watershed Management Plan, completed by the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works in May 2004 and adopted by the County of Los Angeles Board of Supervisors in June 2004. It describes current conditions within the watershed, identifies a number of potential improvement projects and explains how they will be implemented.

The California Environmental Quality Act requires that the environmental impacts of such a plan be studied, and that provisions be made for mitigating the negative ones. Impacts and mitigations are detailed in the Final Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) that also reflects both official and public response to the draft report.

Full implementation of the Sun Valley Watershed Project is expected to take 10 to 12 years, and there will be occasional notices and documents for public comment as the process unfolds. All of them will be posted here as they become available, along with instructions on finding a hard copy and submitting comments.
