A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RICHMOND,
CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A
COOPERATIVE IMPLEMENTATION AGREEMENT WITH THE CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (CALTRANS) AND TO ACCEPT AND
APPROPRIATE FUNDS FOR MULTI-SITE TRASH CAPTURE PROJECTS
WHEREAS, the City of Richmond is subject to the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board’s Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit (MRP), which requires the City to reduce trash discharges from its stormwater conveyance system to the Bay; and.
WHEREAS Provision C.10 of the MRP establishes trash load reduction benchmarks and compliance deadlines, and the City is currently out of compliance with its C.10 trash reduction requirements; and
WHEREAS additional trash capture capacity is necessary to meet permit obligations and avoid potential enforcement actions and penalties, and.
WHEREAS, Caltrans has agreed to partner with the City to design and construct four stormwater trash capture projects within City rights-of-way that also treat Caltrans highway runoff, thereby contributing to compliance with both agencies’ permit obligations; and
WHEREAS, Caltrans will fully fund the design and construction of the projects under a Cooperative Implementation Agreement (CIA), and the City will assume long-term operation and maintenance responsibilities; and
WHEREAS, entering into this CIA and implementing these projects will provide significant progress toward meeting the City’s C.10 trash load reduction requirements and demonstrate proactive compliance to the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board.
