EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The State's Water Code Section 13383 Order includes Trash Amendments that apply to all Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permittees. The purpose of Section 13383 is to reduce trash in surface waters. The Trash Provisions, established as a water quality standard in the City's NDPES Permit, are designed to prevent trash from adversely affecting beneficial uses of local water bodies.
To further the City's compliance with the Order, staff recommends installing certified Full Capture Systems for trash screening, specifically Connector Pipe Screen (CPS) devices, on all storm drain catch basins in the Dominguez Channel Watershed Area. The City's storm drains that feed the Santa Monica Bay Watershed Area are already in compliance due to previously implemented Trash Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) projects.
Approval of the proposed agreement with United Storm Water Inc. (Agreement) will authorize the installation of up to 255 Connector Pipe Screens, for a not to exceed amount of $383,966 and a 5-year term through July 15, 2030.

The unit pricing provided by United for the proposed work stems from a competitive process recently performed by the City of Montebello.
