Local Cities Collaborate to Prevent Sewage From Entering Ocean
Local towns work together to prevent sewage from Entering OceanBy EGP News Report
Bell Gardens is one of many local towns participating in $ 10 million stormwater remediation project to prevent hundreds of tons of waste from reaching the coast of Long Beach, city officials announced last week.
Sixteen cities in all are involved in the proposed Los Angeles gateway Autorité collaboration - funded by $ 10 million in federal stimulus funds - which involves upgrading of the storm about 12 000 held by the public drains in the region leading to the Los Angeles River.
The storm drain retrofit is expected to keep approximately 840,000 pounds of trash each year from entering the Los Angeles River and flowing down to the ocean, according to a press release from the city of Bell Gardens.
Storm drains will be retrofitted with full-capture trash devices, called Connector Pipe Screens (CPS), inside the catch basin. In addition, more than 5,400 of these storm drains in higher-density trash locations have received additional protection with the installation of Automatic Retractable Screens (ARS), at the curbside entrance to the catch basin, according to Bell Gardens. Both screens block trash and debris, while allowing stormwater to continue flowing to the L.A. River and eventually to Long Beach, said the city’s statement.
Construction was recently completed on the project started in August 2010. In addition to Bell Gardens, the other cities that have received trash screens are Montebello, Pico Rivera, Vernon, Maywood, Commerce, Huntington Park, Bell, Cudahy, South Gate, Downey, Lynwood, Paramount, Compton, Signal Hill, and Long Beach.
