3.2 Current and Planned Trash Control Measures <br />San Leandro has been proactive in the adoption of measures to control trash in the <br />MS4 system. In recent years the City has installed more than 250 connector pipe screen <br />full trash capture devices covering nearly 1,000 acres of the city. The trash capture <br />devices supplement previous measures. San Leandro Public Works has always worked <br />to keep trash out of the stormwater system using annual cleaning or inspection of more <br />than 2,000 storm inlets, biannual cleaning of stormwater pump stations, an aggressive <br />street sweeping program, staff permanently assigned to hand clear areas with visible or <br />reported trash, daily contracted cleaning of downtown area including trash pickup <br />and sweeping, and oversight and inspection of trash enclosures. <br /> <br />Future measures will be put in place to further the program, particularly in those TMA’s shown to have very high and high levels of trash without coverage from the current TCD <br />system. The City is already in possession of 30 additional full trash capture devices for future installation. All efforts will continue to be made to install full capture devices in as <br />many locations as possible. Other future enhancement possibilities include: on-going street level confirmation of areas of trash accumulates in the City; review of existing <br />street sweeping routes to include maximum coverage in areas of accumulation; working with businesses to review effectiveness of private lot control measures; and <br />continual monitoring of existing trash capture system to confirm and ensure function. The City will use quarterly visual inspections throughout San Leandro to assess the <br />effectiveness of the control measures, along with any need to modify plans for future implementations. <br /> <br />3.2.1 Trash Management Area 1 <br />TMA#1 is all areas in the City of San Leandro currently covered by full trash capture <br />devices. As indicated in Figure 3-1, this represents a significant portion of the City. Trash <br />in this TMA is from various sources as it covers many land uses. Areas currently under full <br />trash capture are the least priority of all TMA’s. The City will look at the possibility of <br />reducing other measures in this area in order to increase frequency in areas not <br />covered by trash capture devices. No future measures are currently being planned in <br />this TMA. <br />Connector Pipe Screen Full Trash Capture <br />The entirety of this TMA is covered by full trash capture initiated post-MRP. The <br />activities associated with this control measure are annual cleaning and <br />inspection. Data from maintenance activities will be used to determine <br />effectiveness of the devices, and ensure their continued functionality. <br />Street Sweeping <br />Continued Pre-MRP Actions: <br />Existing enhanced street sweeping includes street sweeping conducted at a <br />frequency greater than 1x/week for streets within retail land use areas, or greater <br />than 2x/month for streets in certain other land use areas.
