Storm Drainage Master Plan

Background

The City of Pacifica collects and disposes of stormwater runoff generated within the City service area.  The storm drainage collection system consists of almost 50 miles of drainage lines, 8.7 miles of open channels, and two City-operated pump stations.  The collection system consists of pipes varying in diameter from 4 inches to 90 inches, and ultimately discharges to approximately 22 different outfalls to the Pacific Ocean.

Project Overview

The City will be updating the 2012 Storm Drainage Master Plan to reflect current conditions and to consider new and emerging concerns, including the impacts of climate change. This 2022 Storm Drainage Master Plan update will serve as a strategic planning guide for maintaining, improving, and expanding the City’s storm drainage system, and will include updated geographical information system (GIS) mapping, hydrologic and hydraulic model update, and the development of an updated capital improvement plan (CIP). The 2022 Storm Drainage Master Plan will focus on priority areas such as:

Priority Areas:
