SUMMARY
This project involves the installation of trash capture infrastructure consisting of two continuous deflective separator (CDS) units with one bypass diversion box in the existing storm drain box culvert on Arf Avenue, near its intersection with Pueblo Spring. The units would help remove trash from the City’s storm water system, increasing the City’s overall reduction of stormwater-borne trash. This increase in stormwater trash reduction would bring the City closer to meeting the San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board's (Water Board) mandate that the City reduce 100% of trash from the storm water system by 2022. The project would be primarily funded by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Water Quality Improvement Fund grant awarded to the City in January 2015.
