Supplemental Narrative
Additional Explanations
Form 990, Part III, Line 4D: Other Program Services Description
“OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Parkway Basins: The River Project worked with the City Bureau of Engineering to finalize development and adoption of a new Green Street Standard Plan (S-488 and S-489) based on our design plans for the high-performing stormwater BMP intended for residential rights-of-way. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Water LA Web Tool: Furthered development of a personalized, bi-lingual, data-driven tool to educate the public about the most effective water management and conservation solutions for their individual properties. The tool will help residents discover the role they can play at home in helping Los Angeles become more climate resilient by recharging local groundwater supplies, improving water quality, reducing flood risk, and expanding habitat. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: Valleyheart Greenway Interpretive Panels: The River Project continued design development on a series of Interpretive Panels for the Valleyheart Greenway, a project conceived and designed by the River Project in 2001. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 7: Water LA Collaborative: The River Project worked with colleagues from Heal the Bay, LA Waterkeeper, North East Trees, Greywater Action, and Theodore Payne Foundation, through a consensus-based process to jointly develop a mission statement, draft MOU, and a database of potential community partners. The ultimate goal of the Collaborative is to channel the expertise and energy of non-profits, community groups, and small businesses to facilitate the rapid uptake of distributed, parcel-based water management strategies (aka urban acupuncture) throughout the region. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 8: Water LA Parkway Basin Project: Partnering with the County of Los Angeles to site, design, and implement 30 Parkway Basins in Disadvantaged Communities in County Unincorporated areas. Looking ahead, The River Project will engage residents in project development and stewardship.”
