Abstract:This report details the outcome of tests carried out at the Hydraulics Laboratory
of the University of California, Davis to assess the performance of three
alternative Gross Solids Removal Devices (GSRDs) developed by Caltrans to
remove litter and solids from storm water runoff. These devices were: the Linear-Radial GSRD, the parabolic screen (Type 1) GSRD and the straight screen
(Type 2) GSRD.
A large-scale test facility was designed and built specifically for the purpose of
testing full scale devices under conditions of flow rates and litter-loading
percentages that correspond to those actually encountered in Caltrans drainage
facilities. The litter used in the tests was manufactured in accordance with the
results of previously commissioned studies by Caltrans on the characterization of
highway litter.
