As a component of the Measure M2 Program, OCTA has established and is overseeing an
environmental cleanup grant program dedicated to protecting Orange County beaches and
waterways from the conveyance of urban runoff associated with transportation generated pollution.
The M2 Environmental Cleanup Program ensures that funds will be used on a countywide,
competitive basis to assist cities in meeting goals for controlling transportation generated pollution
as required by the City's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit.
Approximately $2.8 million is available in the Fiscal Year 2012/2013 to be awarded with the Tier 1
Grant Program 2012 Call for Projects. Staff has prepared an application under this Call for
Projects to purchase and install catch basin automatic retractable screens at 97 locations for a total
estimated project amount of $85,000.
Resolution No. 12 -46 states that the City Council supports the application, the City is capable of
providing the required funding match, and that the City agrees to work with OCTA to meet
established deadlines if the grant funds are awarded, and designates the Director of Public
Works /City Engineer as the City's authorized representative. The Renewed Measure M funding
