indicator could include measurements of litter in and around the storm drain system or local water bodies. Output-based indicators are those that assess the implementation <br />of control measures. This type of indicator could include assessing the maintenance of trash capture devices or compliance with product bans. Indicators that ACCWP <br />Permittees will use to answer the management questions include: <br />Outcome-Based Indicators: <br />1-A Amount of single-use plastic bags entering storm drains <br />1-B Amount of polystyrene food ware entering storm drains <br />1-C Amount of litter removed from Trash Hot Spots and other creek/shoreline <br />cleanup events <br />1-D Amount of litter at schools participating in the litter outreach program <br />1-E Amount of litter at multi-family dwellings participating in the targeted outreach <br />program <br />1-F Self-reported litter related attitude and behavior of residents <br /> Output-Based Indicators: <br />2-A Full capture device operation and maintenance <br />2-B Compliance with the Single-Use Bag Ban <br />2-C Implementation of an effective street sweeping program <br />2-D Commercial Trash Container Management <br />2-E Residential Trash Container Management <br />In selecting the indicators above, the City/ of San Leandro in collaboration with <br />ACCWP and other ACCWP Permittees recognize that no one environmental indicator will provide the information necessary to effectively determine progress made in <br />reducing trash discharged from MS4s and improvements in the level of trash in receiving waters. Multiple indicators were therefore selected. <br /> As described in Section 2.2, trash is transported to receiving waters from pathways other <br />than MS4s, which may confound our ability to observe MS4-associated reductions in <br />creeks and shorelines. Evaluations of data on the amount of trash in receiving waters <br />that are conducted over time through the Pilot Assessment Strategy will assist the City in <br />further determinations of the important sources and pathways causing problems in <br />local creeks, rivers and shorelines. <br />4.1.3 Pilot Assessment Methods <br />This section briefly summarizes the preliminary assessment methods that the City of San <br />Leandro will implement through the ACCWP Pilot Strategy to generate indicator <br />information described in the previous section. Additional information on each method <br />can be found in the ACCWP Pilot Trash Assessment Strategy submitted to the Water <br />Board by ACCWP on behalf of the City. <br /> <br /> <br />355
