Technical Working Group Meeting
The meeting focused on the California Environmental Flows Framework for the Los Angeles River. Key discussion topics included sharing model outputs for the downtown reach and evaluating various management actions or 'levers' to meet environmental goals. The participants brainstormed and evaluated strategies related to dry season base flow needs, MS4 compliance, kayak passage, tribal goals, peak flow management, and favorable flows for fish passage. Additionally, the group discussed potential future actions, including the need for a river management task force and integrated water recycling and ecosystem management.

The meeting focused on the California Environmental Flows Framework for the Los Angeles River. Key discussion topics included the review of flow assessment and scenario development methodologies, the presentation of initial model outputs for the downtown reach, and performance measures related to water supply, water quality, biodiversity, and recreation. Participants discussed impacts on flow scenarios, clarifying exceedance flows, and addressing considerations for flood risk management, steelhead migration, and public access integration.

California Environmental Flows Framework for the Los Angeles River Framework
This document outlines The California Environmental Flows Framework (CEFF) process for the Los Angeles River, presented at a Technical Working Group Meeting #2. The framework aims to develop specific flow recommendations that align with multiple management goals for the Los Angeles River. Key components of the process include the formation of Thematic Technical Working Groups, refinement of flow-related management goals, assessment of flow alteration, analysis of alternative management scenarios and tradeoffs, and the formulation of detailed flow recommendations and implementation plans. The framework addresses seven major themes: Recreation, Biodiversity/Habitat, Cultural/Tribal, Flood Risk Management, Water Supply, Urban Cooling, and Water Quality.

Technical Working Group Meeting
The meeting provided an update on the Los Angeles River California Environmental Flows Framework (CEFF) Project and solicited stakeholder input on flow assessment methodology and the use of CEFF tools. Key discussions included addressing tribal/cultural input, balancing needs across different species in the flow assessment, and ensuring the analysis considers the entire watershed rather than just the channel. Stakeholders emphasized the need for simplifying graphics and clear communication tools, an open and interactive interface for continual management, and decision tools focused on avoiding jurisdictional conflicts, particularly regarding recycled water diversions. The flow assessment overview addressed modeling water quality, handling yearly rainfall variability by providing recommendations for wet, average, and dry years, and the desired granularity of data (hourly). Breakout sessions focused on desired CEFF outcomes, such as adaptive management models, tools for assessing future project impacts, and ensuring flood control capacity is maintained while assessing habitat restoration projects. Next steps confirmed that the scoped process is intended to conclude in March 2026, and the team will continue dialogue to ensure stakeholder consensus.
