• 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.
