SUMMARY
This report provides a summary of the proposed changes to the stormwater ordinance in response to the Municipal Regional Permit (MRP 3.0) requirements regarding trash reduction. The requirements adopted by the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (Water Board) on July 1, 2022, require a 100% trash reduction in the City’s stormwater system by July 1, 2025. The proposed ordinance changes include new language requiring property owners with documented trash violations to install full trash capture systems to prevent trash and other pollutants from entering the City’s storm sewer system.
