SUMMARY
To comply with the trash reduction requirements of the Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit (MRP), the City is collaborating with Caltrans to fund, design, and construct a large trash capture device within the City’s storm drain system to capture trash before the waters flow to the San Francisco Bay. The device will be located at Arf Avenue near Hesperian Boulevard and will be funded by Caltrans. The project mutually benefits the City and Caltrans as the area treated by the large trash capture device includes City and Caltrans right of way (ROW). The Arf Avenue project will be the second of two trash capture projects funded by Caltrans. The first was installed on Tennyson Road during the summer of 2023. The Arf Avenue project requires additional time and funds to develop a design that meets the approval requirements by the Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District. The engineering design services as well as the installation of the large trash capture device will be fully funded by Caltrans.
