New Litter TMDL Leads to Pilot Study
Early last year, a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) regulation was adopted by the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board. This regulation limits the amount of litter that can be discharged into the Los Angeles River, which drains about 830 square miles of urban land. Caltrans responded to this by developing and testing several designs for gross solids removal devices (GSRDs). Gross solids include naturally occurring material, like vegetation, rocks, and soil, as well as litter.

larger solids / larger solid particles
A comparative adj. might be in order here, especially if the implication is that further procedures are needed to remove smaller, finer particles.
Examples:
"...the cider should be collected, filtered to remove larger solids and stored..." (Ref. 1)
"...While the filtration tank will remove larger solid particles that settle to the bottom..." (Ref. 2)
