Why isn a net/fence/barrier installed at the end of the storm drain channel to catch all of the trash?

0

Trash barrier nets and/or screens only catch the trash that floats in the channels or detention basins. However, most of the toxins like pet waste, used oil, pesticides, fertilizers, etc. flow through the net and straight into our waterways.

The City of Norfolk manages the flood channels and, in fact, some do have a barrier or screen near the discharge point. Unfortunately, this only catches the trash that floats in the channels or detention basins, leaving most of the toxins like pet waste, used oil, pesticides, fertilizers, etc. flow straight through into the Elkhorn River.
