Bay Area-wide Trash Capture Demonstration Project
In October 2009, the San Francisco Estuary Partnership was awarded $5 million in federal stimulus funds (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009) to support a Bay Area-wide Trash Capture Demonstraton Project. All Bay Area cities and counties that wish to participate will receive trash capture devices to retrofit existing storm drainage infrastructure. In addition to allowing municipalities try out different types of devices, the project will kick off compliance with new permit requirements and provide for monitoring and information sharing among agencies. This collaborative, regional project is funded through the State Water Resources Control Board's Clean Water State Revolving Fund.
