STREET SWEEPING

The contracted street sweeping services are provided by Nationwide Environmental Services (NES) and are intended to provide thorough, prompt street sweeping services to all City residents and businesses, while maintaining the City's overall aesthetics. These services are also required elements of the City's efforts for compliance towards NPDES requirements (keeping litter debris from storm drain system) and AB 939 mandates. On April 8, 2008 the City Council approved a sixth modification to the street sweeping agreement in order to meet the requirements of South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Rule 1186.1. The important component of this modification was the use of alternative fueled equipment. Therefore, NES dedicated a new compressed natural gas (CNG) fueled street sweeper to provide the needed services to the community.
