Information
Referral History:
The County Watershed Program last gave a presentation on the trash management plan on October 13, 2016, where the strategy to achieve 70% by July 1, 2017, was presented. One of the strategies discussed was to implement a Direct Discharge Plan.
Referral Update:
The Direct Discharge Plan addresses trash thrown directly into streams flowing adjacent to or through County or Flood Control and Water Conservation District (FC District) property or rights of way. There are two types of sources of trash: homeless encampments and illegal dumping. This presentation will discuss an interdepartmental approach to reduce litter in homeless encampments and create barriers to reduce illegal dumping into streams flowing through or adjacent to County or FC District property and/or rights of way. Successful implementation will create up to 15% of trash reduction credit.
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
Receive report and provide direction regarding implementation of this program.
Fiscal Impact (if any):
The Direct Discharge Program is budgeted for $300,000/year paid with Stormwater Utility Fees, Road Funds, and FC District Zone Funds.
