RECOMMENDATION(S):

AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to advertise the Countywide Trash Capture Project, Project No. 7517-6W7085, for the manufacturing and installation of full trash capture units in 154 inlets, Countywide. (100% Stormwater Utility Assessment (SUA) 17 Funds).

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Countywide Trash Capture Project is to be funded by 100% Stormwater Utility Assessment 17 Funds

BACKGROUND:

On November 18, 2015 the San Francisco Water Board issued the second Bay Area wide stormwater permit, called the Municipal Regional NPDES Permit (MRP 2), to the Contra Costa Countywide Stormwater Program.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Within the MRP 2 is a new requirement to reduce the amount of litter and trash from entering local streams, the Delta, and the Bay by 70% by 2017, 80% by 2018, and 100% by 2022. In order to meet these requirements, the Public Works Department will be installing 154 full trash capture units countywide.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The County will be unable to meet the 70% trash reduction requirement.
