DISCUSSION
On July 13, 2009, the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) and the City of Long Beach entered into a project finance agreement through the Clean Water State Revolving Fund under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). This project involves the construction of a trash net system at City-owned Pump Station No. 12 located at the junction of the 710 and 91 freeways. A vicinity map of the area is attached as Exhibit A. The trash net system will capture and remove trash and debris prior to entering the pumps, thereby significantly reducing trash and debris discharged into the Los Angeles River.

The project includes removing the existing trash rack, constructing a storm drain pollution trap netting system within an existing pump station forebay/trash pit, including a steel frame to receive a manufactured netting system, furnishing and installing the manufactured netting system components, modifications to the existing trash pit, and construction of trash racks.
