Environmental Data Support
For the Hyperion 5-mile outfall inspection
November 28-30, 2006Geography of the Hyperion 5-mile diversion
The official City of Los Angeles Department of Public Works website.
Map of Hyperion outfalls in Santa Monica Bay. During November 28-30, the
Hyperion sewer discharge will be diverted from the 5 mile pipe to the
shorter One-Mile Outfall to allow inspection of the longer outfall pipe.
The discharge is typically 300-350 million gallons per day, with a total
estimated volume of discharge to approach 875 million gallons. The
Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System has created this web
site to provide up-to-date ocean environment information to assist coastal
managers during this discharge event.

Santa Monica Bay modelling efforts
Guza, O'Reilly, Feddersen, Thomas of CDIP have developed surfzone models for the LA sewage release. Among its features:
- Nowcast (delayed 2 hours) Waves
- Surfzone averaged alongshore currents for Santa Monica Bay
- Time history of recent nowcasts near the alongshore location of the outfall
LOS ANGELES (November 17, 2006)
The City of Los Angeles' Hyperion Treatment Plant is sending divers into the Plant's Five-Mile Outfall on November 28th to 30th (weather permitting) to assess its structural condition, evaluate its reliability and identify potential trouble spots before they could become problems. more information (offsite)
