SUMMARY
The proposed project would install a CDS unit in the existing storm drainpipe on a parcel owned by Alameda County Flood Control District off Arf Avenue for trash capture from the storm water system. The project will help the City meet the San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board (Water Board) mandate to remove 100% of trash from the stormwater system by July 1, 2025. The CDS unit creates a continuous swirl of stormwater to concentrate and separate trash and debris. This project will be funded by Caltrans. The City and Caltrans entered into a cooperative agreement to complete trash capture projects to mutual trash reduction credit. The cooperative agreement was approved by Council on April 20, 2021.
