The updated permit introduced more stringent <br />stormwater treatment and reporting requirements compared to the previous NPDES permit. The City of <br />San Leandro is among the agencies regulated under MRP3. One of the key provisions of this permit is <br />section ‘C10,’ which pertains to storm water trash load reduction. Under this section, Permittees must <br />achieve either a 100% reduction in trash from stormwater or ensure that stormwater trash has no <br />adverse impact on receiving waters by June 30, 2025. <br />In compliance with MRP3, staff submitted an updated Trash Load Reduction Plan to the Alameda <br />County Clean Water Board and the State Water Board in July 2023. The plan detailed actions <br />necessary to meet the new requirements, including the installation of 177 small point-source storm <br />drain inlet screens and 7 larger in-line storm drain trash capture devices. The inlet screens are custom <br />sized to fit the existing storm inlets and can be installed without requiring any special permits or detailed <br />design documents. In contrast, the larger full trash capture devices (TCDs) are significantly more <br />complex, requiring substantial investment, site-specific design, and permitting procedures. <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 9/4/2025
