RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE the Bay Point and Saranap Full Trash Capture Installation Project (Project) and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to advertise the Project, Bay Point and Saranap areas. [County Project No. WO7079, DCD-CP#23-37] (Districts V, II)
DETERMINE the Project is a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Class 2(c) Categorical Exemption, pursuant to Article 19, Section 15302 of the CEQA Guidelines, and
DIRECT the Director of Department of Conservation and Development (DCD), or designee, to file a Notice of Exemption (NOE) with the County Clerk, and
AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to arrange for payment of a $25 fee to DCD for processing, and a $50 fee to the County Clerk for filing the NOE.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Estimated Project cost: $2,100,000. 100% State Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Grant Funds.
BACKGROUND:
The County is a permittee of the Regional Water Quality Control Board’s Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit (MRP 3.0), which mandates attainment of a 100 percent trash load reduction to receiving waters by 2025. The project will install two subsurface trash capture devices, certified by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), one in Bay Point and one in Saranap, which will help the County meet this mandate by treating areas with moderate or greater trash load rates.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Delay in approving the project may result in a delay of design, construction, funding, and compliance with the SWRCB mandate.
