The City of Pacific Grove is installing a diversion pump to take dry season storm drain flows and divert them to the sanitary sewer. The location for this diversion is at Eardley and Ocean View Blvd in Pacific Grove and will divert the storm drains that flow into Hopkins Marine Station. Volunteers and staff will monitor the diversion for 7 months to determine proper functioning of the diversion system at this location, quality of water being diverted and not flowing into the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary and lastly to monitor the receiving water at the location where the water would be flowing if the diversion system was not functioning.

Goals

To determine if diversion is working, quality of water being diverted and quality of receiving water at contact point if water was flowing from the storm drail outfall
