Trash management requirements and discharge limitations are an increasing common requirement in NPDES stormwater permits nationwide. Additionally, the public is demanding that state DOTs do more to capture and remove trash from the right of way and prevent the discharge of plastics into waterways. Capture and removal of waste plastic debris within the upland drainage area prior to aquatic deposition is one mechanism for the reduction of microplastic generation. Keeping needles and other biohazards from entering public waters is an important public health and safety measure.
