throughout the County and compare the number and volume of EPS food ware items in areas with versus without EPS bans. A detailed study design is included in the ACCWP <br />Pilot Assessment Strategy to be submitted separately. <br /> <br />1-C Amount of Litter Removed from Trash Hot Spots and Other Creek/Shoreline Cleanup Events <br />ACCWP member agencies collect trash annual from a total of 47 Hot Spots as well as numerous additional creek and shoreline cleanup events. Each member agency will <br />gather data from these events that will allow for long term tracking of trends. The data to be collected include the volume and or weight of trash removed, the number of <br />people and or the total number of person hours for each event, the length of creek or shoreline cleaned, and the dominant types of trash at each location. ACCWP will <br />compile the data from these events and track the long term trends in trash along these water bodies throughout the County. Member agencies will also track trends at their <br />specific cleanup locations. <br /> <br />1-D Amount of Litter at Schools Participating in the Litter Outreach Program <br />ACCWP has developed a request for proposal for a four-year litter reduction <br />education/outreach grant directed at K-12 schools throughout Alameda County. <br />ACCWP intends to award a total of up to $125,000 per year to the successful <br />applicant(s). The goals of the project are to clearly reduce the amount of litter at the <br />participating schools and incorporate institutional changes at the schools so that litter <br />will continue to be reduced in the future. Implementation is scheduled to begin in the <br />2014/15 school year. The request for proposal will include a requirement to evaluate the <br />level of litter reduction achieved. A copy of the request for proposals is included in the <br />ACCWP Pilot Assessment Strategy. A description of the assessment mechanism(s) of the <br />successful proposal(s) will be included in the ACCWP Fiscal Year 2013/14 Annual Report. <br /> <br />1-E Amount of Litter at Multi-Family Dwellings Participating in the Targeted Outreach Program <br />Multi-family dwellings (i.e., apartment buildings and condominium complexes) are often <br />areas of high trash generation. ACCWP is working with the City of Livermore to develop a litter reduction pilot targeting multi-family complexes known to be sites with significant <br />litter issues. The pilot includes the following apartment building and condominium complexes: Livermore Garden Apartments (5720 East Avenue), La Castilleja (975 <br />Murrieta Boulevard), and Castilleja Del Arroyo (1001 and 1009 Murrieta Boulevard). The planned assessment mechanisms include: <br /> <br />• December 2013: Pre-campaign Measurement – ACCWP and the City will take <br />baseline measurements of all three sites. Methods of measurement will include taking photos of on-site litter, as well as collecting, characterizing and counting <br />the litter using the Ocean Conservancy’s Volunteer Trash Data Form. (Adopt A Creek Spot volunteers use this Data Form to characterize and count the trash <br />collected from the Trash Hot Spot located behind the condominium complexes <br />357
