Technical Assistance

The Safe, Clean Water Program provides support to community groups, municipalities, and individuals who need assistance developing their project concepts and applications.

It also provides resources for those interested in learning more about their watershed or getting involved in the Safe, Clean Water (SCW) Program. 

If you have an idea for a project, but are in need of additional support, SCW Technical Resources Program can help. It provides dedicated Watershed Coordinators for each Los Angeles County Watershed Area, Technical Assistance Teams comprised of subject matter experts, and funding and support for the development of Feasibility Studies, which are required as part of the SCW Infrastructure Program Project application

Watershed Coordinators are here to support from project idea to implementation and beyond. Their role is to support project proponents, educate and build capacity in watershed areas, and facilitate community engagement with the Safe, Clean Water Program.

Feasibility Studies are required as part of an infrastructure project application. 

The Technical Assistance Teams, as part of the Technical Resources Program, will complete feasibility studies in partnership with and on behalf of municipalities, CBOs, NGOs, and others who don’t have the technical resources or capabilities to develop feasibility studies.

If you are interested in working with the Technical Assistance Team on your Feasibility Study, submit your request along with your project concept here and reach out to your Watershed Coordinator for support.  

Non-Municipal Project Concept applicants, such as CBOs, NGOs, and others, are those that do not represent Municipalities (also known as Cities), the Los Angeles County Flood Control District, or other government agencies.  

Non-Municipal Project Concept applicants applying for the Technical Resources Program funding, to ultimately develop a Multi-Benefit Project Concept into a Feasibility Study, should acquire the Letter of Non-Objection from the Municipality where the Project Concept is proposed. 

Obtaining a Letter of Non-Objection confirms that the Municipality is aware of the proposed Project Concept and is supportive of the applicant’s application for Technical Resources Program funding to further refine their Project Concept into a Feasibility Study. Note: Obtaining a Letter of Non-Objection does not guarantee that a Municipality will later provide a Letter of Support once the Feasibility Study is completed. During Feasibility Study development, the assigned Technical Assistance Team will communicate with the Municipality and request a Letter of Support.
