Each year the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) offers funding opportunities aimed at reducing transportation generated pollution that can impact local waterways like Huntington Harbour, Bolsa Chica Wetlands and the ocean.

The City is requesting up to $500,000 from OCTA to fund the purchase and installation of a Trash Trap unit at the Atlanta storm water pump station. The City will be responsible for 20% in local matching funds to be provided as a cash contribution. Funding for the project will be allocated from the Planned Local Drainage Fund (Fund 211) and should the City be awarded the grant from OCTA, staff will return to the City Council at a future meeting with a request for appropriation of funds.
