Document Description
The 2024 Storm Drain Trash Capture Device Installation Project consists of the installation of trash collection devices at three locations identified in the City of Chico Trash Master Plan: West 7th Street and Pomona Avenue, West 9th Street and Normal Avenue, and Park Avenue near the Little Chico Creek bridge. Additionally, an existing storm drain manhole will be replaced at West 9th Street and Normal Street. The maximum area of disturbance for each of the devices is 20 feet by 20 feet, with a maximum depth of 28 feet. The devices will be installed in previously paved areas or disturbed road shoulders. Total workdays for all locations are approximately 65 days. A Caltrans encroachment permit will be acquired, as necessary.
The purpose of the Project is to comply with the State Water Resources Control Board’s statewide Trash Provisions, adopted in 2015. This provision amends Phase II MS4 permits to prohibit trash that has entered City storm drains from exiting into receiving waters by developing a Trash Master Plan that identifies implementation and operation measures to meet this new Best Management Practice standard. The Project will also help identify the scope and cost of installing devices at other future locations identified in the Trash Master Plan developed in 2018. The Project is consistent with the Chico 2030 General Plan Parks, Public Facilities, and Services Element.
