GENERAL PLAN IMPLEMENTATION __71 Natural Resources Elements Goal 2.0 Protect air, water, and energy resources from pollution and overuse. Policy 2.13: Control surface runoff water discharges into the storm water conveyance system to comply with the City's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination system (NPDES) Municipal Permit and other regional permits issued by the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board. Policy 2.16: Protect in- stream habitat and natural stream and channel features. 7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND Renewed Measure M (M2) approved by the voters in 2006 is a 30 -year, multi - billion dollar program extension of the original Measure M (approved in 1990) with a new slate of planned projects and programs. These include improvements to the county freeway system, streets and roads network, expansion of the Metrolink system, more transit services for seniors and the disabled as well as funding for the cleanup of roadway storm water runoff. Orange County Local Transportation Ordinance No. 3, dated July 24, 2006, known and cited as the Renewed Measure M Transportation Ordinance and Investment Plan, makes funds available through the Environmental Cleanup Program to help protect Orange County beaches and waterways from transportation - generated pollution (urban runoff) and improve overall water quality. The Public Works Department has identified one location on Collins Avenue just west of Parker Street as a good location for the installation of the Bio Clean Debris Separating Baffle Box in a 48 inch storm drain line. This storm drain line collects runoff from commercial shops, restaurants, schools, mobile homes, and industrial areas and is experiencing a heavy volume of trash and debris. Installing a Bio Clean Unit will effectively capture trash and debris that may adversely impact receiving waters and impair beneficial uses such as recreation, swimming, and fishing. The Tier 1 Grant we are seeking is $286,240 with a 20% match required from the City. The cost of the project is approximately $358,550. Because the Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program is structured to be competitive with all of the agencies in the County of Orange, it is not known at this time if our project will be approved. 8.
