Monitoring, Measurement, and Program Modifications <br />WDR REQUIREMENTS <br />Attachment D-9 (pg. D-9) <br />“The Plan must include an Adaptive Management section that addresses Plan-implementation <br />effectiveness and the steps for necessary Plan improvement, including: <br />• Maintaining relevant information, including audit findings, to establish and prioritize <br />appropriate Plan activities; <br />• Monitoring the implementation and measuring the effectiveness of each Plan element; <br />• Assessing the success of the preventive operation and maintenance activities; <br />• Updating Plan procedures and activities, as appropriate, based on results of monitoring and <br />performance evaluations; and <br />• Identifying and illustrating spill trends, including spill frequency, locations, and estimated <br />volumes.” <br />COMPLIANCE <br />The above requirements are addressed below: <br />Maintaining Information: <br />The City maintains accurate and relevant inspection and maintenance records for the collection system, <br />including field data such as pipe cleaning and inspection frequencies, FSE inspections, and information <br />regarding spills. Much of the documentation is maintained electronically, which allows for ease of access <br />and analysis. This helps City staff to make sound decisions and prioritize activities when dealing with the <br />routine and the unexpected. <br />Monitoring SSMP elements: <br />Monitoring of the City’s SSMP focuses on each element in terms of its implementation and effectiveness. <br />The SSMP has been designed to include key performance indicators for each element, which are used to <br />measure effectiveness. In addition, implementation responsibilities are included for each element to help <br />ensure the SSMP is being implemented as intended. <br />Assessing Preventative Operations: <br />The City assesses the success of maintenance and operation activities by ensuing activities are being <br />performed as expected, by monitoring actual outcomes compared to intended outcomes, as well as <br />monitoring spill trends. <br />Updating the SSMP: <br />The City is committed to continuous improvement and monitors and evaluates performance of work <br />programs and SSMP elements to ensure intended outcomes are achieved while looking for areas for <br />improvement. Although the SWRCB requires that the SSMP be updated every six years, the SSMP is <br />considered as a dynamic document and may require updating on a more frequent basis. Routine changes <br />to administrative information, notwithstanding, minor changes will likely be required to address <br />improvements identified through the SSMP Audit or through modifications required as conditions change. <br />
