6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
The Public Works Department has identified the Glassell Street and Brentwood Avenue intersection as a good location for the installation of a Hydrodynamic Separator off-line with the existing 4’x4’ reinforced concrete box 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 Hydrodynamic Separator 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 11 connector pipe screen (CPS) units in various catch basins City of Orange Printed on 4/20/2023Page 1 of 2

The project also proposes to install 11 connector pipe screen (CPS) units in various catch basins located on Glassell Street, Crystal View Avenue, Flower Street, and La Veta Avenue. The CPS will capture trash and debris from the nearby priority land uses such as restaurants, bus stops, and other commercial sites.
The total estimated project cost is $625,000. The City is seeking a competitive grant of $500,000 that would require $125,000 in matching funds. If successful, Public Works staff would most likely request an appropriation of $125,000 from Sanitation and Sewer (220) to provide the matching funds.
Renewed Measure M (M2) approved by the voters in 2006 is a 30-year, multi-billion-dollar program extension of the original Measure M (approved in 1990) with a new slate of planned projects and programs. These include improvements to the county freeway system, streets and roads network, expansion of the Metrolink system, more transit services for seniors and the disabled, as well as funding for the cleanup of roadway storm water runoff.
Orange County Local Transportation Ordinance No.3, dated July 24, 2006, known and cited as the Renewed Measure M Transportation Ordinance and Investment Plan, makes funds available through the Environmental Cleanup Program to help protect Orange County beaches and waterways from transportation-generated pollution (urban runoff) and improve overall water quality.
