Protecting California's Waterways with EnviroPod™ LittaTrap™ FC
August 28, 2024
California's Commitment to Clean Water
California has long been at the forefront of environmental protection, with stringent regulations in place to combat pollution and protect water quality. Under the State Water Resources Control Board's Trash Amendments, all municipalities must achieve Full Trash Capture (FTC) compliance by 2030 by installing systems that prevent trash and debris from entering waterways.
The Challenge
Stormwater runoff is one of the largest contributors to water pollution in California. Without proper intervention, trash, plastics, and other debris from urban areas are swept into the stormwater system, eventually making their way into rivers, lakes, and the ocean. These pollutants harm marine life, degrade water quality, and pose a threat to public health.
The EnviroPod™ LittaTrap™ FC is a proven State Certified Full Trash Capture device that designed to capture trash and debris inside catch basins in various sizes and configurations.
LittaTrap™ FC
Here's why it's the ideal choice for your stormwater management needs:
Compliance with California Regulations: The LittaTrap™ FC meets the State Water Resources Control Board's criteria for Full Trash Capture, ensuring your projects are fully compliant with state mandates.
Proven Effectiveness: The LittaTrap™ FC has been extensively tested and proven to capture trash and debris at the source, preventing it from entering the stormwater system. With its high capture efficiency, the LittaTrap™ FC reduces the need for costly downstream cleanups and improves overall water quality.
Easy Installation and Maintenance: Designed for quick and hassle-free installation, the LittaTrap™ FC can be retrofitted into existing catch basins, minimizing disruption and labor costs. Maintenance is straightforward, requiring minimal effort to keep the system functioning optimally.
Durable and Reliable: Built to withstand harsh conditions, the LittaTrap™ FC offers long-term performance and reliability, making it a cost-effective solution for municipalities and developers alike.
Case Studies: Real-World Success in California
Thousand Oaks: The City of Thousand Oaks successfully installed LittaTrap™ FC systems across multiple locations, achieving compliance with state regulations while significantly reducing trash entering local waterways. The project was completed efficiently, overcoming challenges related to older infrastructure, and resulted in measurable improvements in water quality.
Dublin: Partnering with one of North America's largest retail chains, the City of Dublin implemented LittaTrap™ FC in a new development project. The LittaTrap™ FC proved effective in capturing debris, helping the city meet its environmental goals and demonstrating the system's adaptability to various urban environments.
