APPROVE the Tara Hills Full Trash Capture Installation Project and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to advertise the project [unincorporated] Tara Hills area. [County Project No. 7517-6W7079, DCD-CP#21-15] (District I).

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

DIRECT the Director of Department of Conservation and Development to file a Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk, and

AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to arrange for payment of a $25 fee to the Department of Conservation and Development for processing, and a $50 fee to the County Clerk for filing the Notice of Exemption.

FISCAL IMPACT:

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County Public Works Department plans to install subsurface trash capture devices certified by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) on the three major storm drain lines in the community of Tara Hills. The goal is to achieve full trash capture (FTC) of the entire community to reduce and eliminate yearly loads of trash into Garrity Creek. This project will help the County meet the SWRCB's Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit mandate to generate zero yearly trash load to its creeks by 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Delay in approving the project may result in a delay of design, construction, funding, and compliance with the SWRCB mandate.
