that collect water as part of the automatic mechanism shall be self-draining and be equipped with a means for preventing the bucket from collecting debris that will weigh the bucket
down and prevent the screen from automatically closing after the flow of water recedes. Each unit shall be equipped with a mechanism that maintains the screen fully open if the water
rises in the catch basin and impedes the operation of the mechanism that operates the screen (i.e., causes the bucket to float, reduces impact forces, etc.).
Spc11-15 7-11 700-4.5 Onsite Test. Each unit shall be manually operated upon completion of the installation to ensure that the screen and all moving parts move freely and the screen
locks securely in the closed position. Units that are determined by the Engineer to be malfunctioning shall be repaired or replaced at the sole expense of the Contractor. The Engineer
will randomly select 25 percent of the catch basins in each phase in which ARS units were installed for testing using water supplied from a fire hydrant or water truck. The Contractor
shall be responsible for providing the source of water, including written approval from the water agency if a hydrant is used. Sufficient water shall be provided to cause the ARS units
to open with no other assistance as follows: Flowing Water Test 1. Sandbags shall be placed around the catch basin opening to allow the water to pond in front of the catch basin to a
depth of 3 inches, measured from the flow line of the catch basin opening. The sandbags shall be located located 5 feet upstream and downstream of the end of the local depression. Sandbags
shall also be placed 7 feet from and parallel to the curb face. 2. An impermeable rigid membrane/barrier shall be placed covering the catch basin opening to allow the water to pond in
front of the catch basin. The membrane/barrier shall be capable of sealing the catch basin opening without leakage so that the water ponds to the depth required. 3. Once the water reaches
the depth described herein, the impermeable membrane shall be removed in one quick and continuous motion to allow the ponded water to instantaneously enter the catch basin and cause
the ARS to open. A continuous flow of water shall be provided for at least two minutes after the initial opening of the ARS units in sufficient quantity to maintain the unit open. At
the end of the two minutes, the flow of the water shall be stopped and the unit shall close and lock automatically prior to or immediately after the flow into the catch basin stops.
4. This process shall be successfully completed at least two consecutive times without adjustments and/or calibration between trials. Flood Catch Basin Test 1. The catch basin connector
pipe shall be plugged to allow water to flood the catch basin. 2. Provide sufficient flowing water to cause the screen to fully open automatically. Continue the flow of water until the
water level in the
Spc11-15 7-12 catch basin rises to a level 10 inches below the flowline of the local depression. 3. Stop the flow of water and inspect each unit to ensure that the screen remains fully
open. 4. If any unit in the catch basin fails, the Contractor shall make adjustments and repeat the test until it is completed successfully. Any units that do not open, close, and lock
closed automatically under the test conditions, described herein, shall be repaired or replaced at the sole expense of the Contractor and re-tested. This process shall be repeated until
the failed unit passes the test at the sole expense of the Contractor. If more than five of the units tested do not open as described above and require re-testing, the Engineer will
select at his/her sole discretion additional catch basins to be tested at no additional cost to the AGENCY. The final adjustments shall be made on other catch basins that have similar
configuration as the test catch basin. 700-4.6 Payment. The Contract Unit Price, categorized by range in width of the existing catch basin opening, for ARSs shall be considered full
compensation for furnishing and installing all the units required to span the entire width of the existing catch basin opening including all labor, materials and equipment for the installation;
submittals; prototype testing; costs associated with the 3-year warranty; onsite testing and calibration; and all other costs involved in the Work not specifically covered by other items
of work. The Contractor shall note that some of the catch basins shown on the Catch Basin List in Appendix III may not receive the ARS unit. Only those marked and identified. But due
to the limited funding the AGENCY has the option to delete or add a location of a catch basin in the Catch Basin List. Full compensation for furnishing all labor, equipment, and materials
for the testing of ARS units shall be considered as included in the Contract Unit Price for the applicable items in the bid. No additional payment will be made for compliance with these
testing requirements. 700–5 CONNECTOR PIPE SCREENS (CPS). 700–5.1 General. The CPS prevents trash and debris from entering the storm drain system during dry weather and moderate storm
flows by keeping the trash and debris inside the catch basin. 700–5.2 Requirements. The CPS shall be designed to retain all trash larger than 5 mm (0.197 inches) in the catch basin,

Spc11-15 CITY OF ROSEMEAD POLICY FOR THE REDUCTION AND RECYCLING OF CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION WASTE I. General Background The State of California has responded to the pressing need
to divert materials from landfills in order to preserve decreasing landfill capacity and diminishing natural resources. As a result, the California Integrated Waste Management Act (CIWMA)
(Assembly Bill 939) was passed in 1989. The bill mandates that by January 1, 1995, each California city and county must divert 25 percent of all solid waste from landfill or transformation
facilities through source reduction, recycling, and composting activities. By January 1, 2000, the required waste diversion is 50 percent. The City of Rosemead is committed to achieve
and maintain the State mandated 50 percent diversion goal beyond the year 2000. To ensure that solid waste generated in the City of Rosemead is reduced, reused, or recycled, projects
greater than or equal to $100,000 in value or greater than or equal to 1,000 square feet in size involving construction, remodeling or demolition, must submit a “Construction and Demolition
Waste Reduction and Recycling Report Form” to obtain final building permit approval. II. Covered and Non-Covered Projects a. Covered Projects -All construction, demolition, and renovation
projects within the City that is greater than 1,000 square feet or where the total costs of which are, or are projected to be, greater than or equal to $100,000 (“Covered Projects”)
shall comply with this Article. b. Non-covered Projects – Applicants for construction, demolition, and renovation projects within the City whose total costs are less than $100,000 or
less than 1,000 square feet in size. “Non-covered Projects” shall be encouraged to divert at least 50 percent of all project-related construction and demolition debris. c. Compliance
as a Condition of Approval – Compliance with the provisions of this Article shall be listed as a condition of approval on any building or demolition permit issued for a Covered Project.
III. Infeasibility Exemption a. Application – If an Applicant for a Covered Project experiences unique circumstances that the Applicant believes make it infeasible to comply with the
Diversion Requirement, the Applicant may apply for an exemption at the time that he or she obtains a building permit. b. The Public Works Department shall review the information supplied
by the Applicant and may meet with the Applicant to discuss possible ways of meeting the Diversion Requirement. Based on the information supplied by the Applicant, the Public Works Department
shall determine whether it is possible for the Applicant to meet the Diversion Requirement.
Spc11-15 c. If the Public Works Department determines that it is infeasible for the Applicant to meet the Diversion Requirement due to unique circumstances, he or she shall determine
the maximum feasible diversion rate for each material and shall indicate this rate on the Construction and Demolition Waste Reduction and Recycling Plan submitted by the Applicant. The
Public Works Department shall return a copy of the Construction and Demolition Waste Reduction and Recycling Plan to the Applicant marked “Approved or Infeasible Exemption” and shall
notify the permit issuing entity that the Construction and Demolition Waste Reduction and Recycling Plan has been approved. d. Denial of Exemption – If the Public Works Department determines
that it is possible for the Applicant to meet the Diversion Requirement, he or she shall so inform the Applicant in writing. The Applicant shall have 30 days to resubmit a Construction
and Demolition Waste Reduction and Recycling Plan. If the Applicant fails to resubmit the Construction and Demolition Waste Reduction and Recycling Plan, or if the resubmitted Construction
and Demolition Waste Reduction and Recycling Plan does not comply with the requirements of the plan, the Public Works Department shall deny the Construction and Demolition Waste Reduction
and Recycling Plan. IV. Diversion Measurement The methodology used to calculate diversion is based on the Title 14, California Code of Regulations, Article 6.1, Solid Waste Generation
Study, Section 18722 et seq., and is consistent with CIWMA measurement protocols. The following equation defines the “Generation-Based Diversion Quantification Methodology”: Generation
= Disposal + Diversion Diversion Rate (%) = Diversion Tons Generation Tons V. Instructions Complete the next four pages: Construction and Demolition Waste Recycling and Disposal Report
