The Public Information and Participation Subcommittee of ACCWP also is in the process of identifying other litter-related areas and activities that affect jurisdictions throughout <br />the County, and will implement pilot projects to address the high priority issues over the next several years. One issue being considered is cigarette butt litter. Community Stewardship Grants <br />Through its Community Stewardship Grants program ACCWP provides up to $20,000 per <br />year to individuals and community groups to implement stormwater and watershed <br />enhancement and education projects. The grants range from $1,000 to $5,000. Starting <br />in fiscal year 2014/15 ACCWP will specifically encourage and support litter reduction <br />grant applications. The projects of the Fiscal Year 2014/15 grant recipients will be <br />described in the ACCWP Fiscal Year 2013/14 Annual Report. <br /> Anti-Litter Outreach to Residents <br />Through its Public Information and Participation program ACCWP encourages residents <br />to adopt less polluting behaviors. One targeted behavior is littering, both intentional <br />and unintentional. ACCWP uses a variety of mechanisms to influence residents <br />including public service announcements, online and movie theater advertising, and <br />participating in outreach events. The ACCWP Public Information and Participation <br />Subcommittee is in the process of developing a three-year budget/strategic plan for <br />fiscal years 2014/15 through 2016/17. One of the strategic objectives of the plan will be <br />to reduce litter. This plan will be described in the ACCWP Fiscal Year 2013/14 Annual <br />Report. <br />3.2.6 Creek and Shoreline Hot Spot Cleanups <br />Trash Hot Spot Cleanup Date <br />FY 2012-13 <br />Volume of Trash Removed <br />( cubic yards) <br />FY 2011-12 Volume of Trash Removed <br />(cubic yards) <br />FY 2010-11 Volume of Trash Removed <br />(cubic yards) <br />Dominant Type(s) of Trash Trash Sources <br />(where possible) <br />Shoreline Trail – 1 mile stretch south from San <br />Leandro Marina. <br />CSL SFB 2 <br />9/15/12 4.5 cubic yards 1.5 cubic yards 6 cubic yards <br />Plastic bags, Styrofoam, other plastic products, plastic bottles, convenience food packaging, <br />glass pieces and old clothing. <br />Bulky items include rebar, a tire and a pallet. <br />Litter from users, windblown, and tide driven from <br />across the bay. <br />Bulky items are illegally dumped. <br />Par Course at San Leandro <br />Marina. <br />CSL SFB 1 <br />9/15/12 2.25 cubic yards <br />4.5 cubic yards 4 cubic yards <br />Plastic bags, Styrofoam, other plastic products, plastic bottles, convenience food packaging, glass pieces and old clothing. <br />Litter from users, windblown, and tide driven from across the bay.
