transportation-generated pollution (urban runoff) and improve overall water quality.
The Public Works Department has identified Taft Avenue and O’DonnellWay intersection as a good location for the installation of a Continuous Deflection Separator (CDS) off-line with the existing 36” reinforced concrete pipe storm drain line. This storm drain line collects runoff from commercial shops, restaurants, single family and multiple family residence areas and is experiencing a heavy volume of trash and debris. Installing a CDS Unit will effectively capture trash and debris that may adversely impact receiving waters and impair beneficial uses such as recreation, swimming, and fishing.
The project also proposes to install seven (7) connector pipe screen (CPS) units in various catch basins located on Taft Avenue, and Lewis Street. The CPS will capture trash and debris from the nearby priority land uses such as restaurants, hospitals, bus stops, and other commercial sites. The City is seeking a competitive grant of $400,000 that would require $100,000 in matching funds, for a total project cost estimate of approximately $500,000. If successful, Public Works staff would most likely request an appropriation of $100,000 from Sanitation and Sewer (220) to provide the matching funds.
