Meet the Newport Bay Trash Interceptor 

with Robert Stein, Newport Beach Ass't. City Engineer

Rainy days fill our streams and rivers with rushing water.  That rushing
water brings tons of trash downstream where it ends up in our bays, harbors,
and ocean.  Literally tons of trash - 100 to 300 tons a year flow into the
upper Newport Bay alone.  The City of Newport Beach is developing a new tool
to significantly capture trash before it reaches the Upper Newport Bay
Nature Preserve and adjacent Marine-Protected Areas. The Trash Interceptor
is a sustainably powered, floating trash and debris collection system
currently under construction in San Diego Creek between the Jamboree Road
Bridge and MacArthur Boulevard Bridge, upstream from the Upper Newport Bay
Nature Preserve.   Newport Beach Assistant City Engineer Robert Stein will
discuss the efforts needed to make this project a reality and describe the
benefits of this innovative project which is expected to reduce trash flow
into the bay by 80 percent when it starts operation later this year.  Join
us on Tuesday, March 26 at 6:30 PM for an early, insider peek at this
potentially game-changing system.  Perhaps you can even suggest a nickname
for the Trash Interceptor. 

 RSVP:
