3.2.5 Jurisdiction-wide Control Measures <br />Private Business Permit Inspections <br />The City of San Leandro’s Environmental Compliance section conducts approximately 220 industrial/commercial inspections per year at City businesses. Inspections include <br />trash and stormwater. San Leandro works with local businesses to improve trash <br />handling procedures, and reduce trash input into the MS4 system. This measure is pre- <br />MRP, but interaction with business regarding trash will be emphasized. <br /> Future Installation of Trash Capture Devices Required The City requires all projects meeting C3 requirements install trash capture devices in <br />stormwater systems, and all City roadwork projects that include curb and gutter also require installation of trash capture devices into new or modified SWI’s. As San Leandro <br />is further developed and updated there are built in measures to prevent trash in the <br />stormwater system post-MRP. <br />Polystyrene Ban <br />In an effort to control a specific type of trash, promote recycling, and reduce waste to <br />landfills the City of San Leandro banned the use of polystyrene foam food service ware. <br />The City of San Leandro's Polystyrene Foam Food Service Ware Ordinance went into <br />effect on November 1, 2012. The Ordinance requires City <br />departments and local food establishments to discontinue the use <br />of polystyrene foam food service ware products. Polystyrene foam <br />food service ware products include cups, bowls, plates, clamshell <br />containers, soup containers and trays made from expanded foam <br />polystyrene typically labeled #6. <br />https://www.sanleandro.org/depts/pw/es/takeout.asp <br /> Alameda County Waste Management Authority Single-Use Bag Ban Ordinance <br /> Single-use plastic bags were a significant component of the litter found in storm drains <br />and water bodies throughout Alameda County. To address this issue, the Alameda County Waste Management Authority has adopted a single-use bag ban. As of <br />January 1, 2013, all grocery stores, supermarkets, mini-marts, convenience stores, liquor stores, pharmacies, drug stores or other entities that sell milk, bread, soda and snack <br />foods (all four items) and/or alcohol (Type 20 or21 license) in Alameda County must <br />comply with the Single-Use Bag Ban Ordinance. <br /> <br />Single-Use Bag Requirement: Affected stores may no longer provide customers with <br />single-use bags at check-out. <br /> <br /> <br />347
