1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 REGULATORY BACKGROUND
In April of 2015, the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) adopted the Trash Provisions of the Water Quality Control Plan for Inland Surface Waters, Enclosed Bays, and Estuaries of California (Trash Provisions) to address the impacts of trash to the beneficial uses of surface waters. The Trash Provisions include a Prohibition of Discharge which states: The discharge of trash to surface waters of the State or the deposition of trash where it may be discharged into surface waters of the State is prohibited. The Trash Provisions define trash as:
All improperly discarded solid material from any production, manufacturing, or processing operation including, but not limited to, products, product packaging, or containers constructed of plastic, steel, aluminum, glass, paper, or other synthetic or natural materials.
Compliance with this discharge prohibition is achieved with successful implementation of trash control requirements of the Trash Provisions. These requirements are categorized as “Track 1” or “Track 2” compliance methods.
The Trash Provisions are applicable to all dischargers permitted pursuant to Section 402(p) of the Federal Clean Water Act, including municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) permittees with regulatory authority over land use, including the City of Ripon (City). The City has selected Track 2 to comply with the Trash Provisions.
On June 1, 2017, the SWRCB issued a 13383 Order requiring the City to select between Track 1 and Track 2 compliance approaches. Initially the City selected Track 1. Selection was made via SMARTS on November 30, 2018. However, the City decided to switch to Track 2 to allow for a more flexible and economically feasible compliance approach. The City notified the SWRCB and Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (CVRWQCB) of the intent to switch to Track 2 on March 11, 2024.
Track 2 implementation requirements include developing a Trash Implementation Plan (TIP) inclusive of the following components:
• The combination of Full Capture Systems (FCS), Multi-Benefit Projects, other Treatment Controls, and/or Institutional Controls selected by the City and the rationale for the selection;
• How the combination of controls is designed to achieve full capture system equivalency (FCSE);
• How FCSE will be demonstrated; and
• If proposing to substitute equivalent alternative land uses for priority land uses (PLUs), a justification demonstrating that the alternative land uses generate trash at rates that are equivalent to or greater than the PLUs for which they are being substituted.
Trash Implementation Plan
2 City of Ripon August 2025
Additionally, the 13383 Order required the City to develop a jurisdictional map which identifies the following:
• All PLU areas discharging to the MS4;
• The corresponding MS4 network, including the location of all storm drain inlets and collection areas that receive stormwater discharges from the identified PLU areas; • Proposed locations of all certified FCS and where any combination of controls will be implemented to achieve FCSE; and
• Proposed locations of equivalent alternative land uses for PLUs. 2 PRIORITY LAND USES
Compliance with Track 2 requires the City to install, operate, and maintain any combination of FCS, multi-benefit projects, other treatment controls, and/or institutional controls (collectively referred to as best management practices - BMPs) in PLUs. The Trash Provisions define PLUs as follows:
• High-density residential: all land uses with at least ten (10) developed dwelling units/acre.
• Industrial: land uses where the primary activities on the developed parcels involve product manufacture, storage, or distribution (e.g., manufacturing businesses, warehouses, equipment storage lots, junkyards, wholesale businesses, distribution centers, or building material sale yards).
• Commercial: land uses where the primary activities on the developed parcels involve the sale or transfer of goods or services to consumers (e.g., business, or professional buildings, shops, restaurants, theaters, vehicle repair shops, etc.). • Mixed urban: Land uses where high-density residential, industrial, and/or commercial land uses predominate collectively (i.e., are intermixed). • Public transportation stations: facilities or sites where public transit agencies’ vehicles load or unload passengers or goods (e.g., bus stations and stops).
Within the boundary that discharges to surface water, PLU total acreage is about 327.5 acres. 3 TRACK 2 COMPLIANCE APPROACH
To meet the requirements of Track 2 of the Trash Provisions and the 13383 Order, the City must plan, develop, and implement a combination of BMPs in PLUs that will result in 100 percent reduction in the discharge of trash to surface waters or the deposition of trash where it may be discharged into surface waters. This TIP documents the City’s planning efforts and overall strategy to comply with Track 2 of the Trash Provisions. The following approach was used in developing this plan:
• Conduct On-land Visual Trash Assessments (OVTA) in PLUs to determine areas of low, moderate, high, and very high trash generation levels; Trash Implementation Plan
3 City of Ripon August 2025
• Use the OVTA findings to inform the approach for proposing FCS and institutional control measures;
• Evaluate the City’s current institutional controls and practices; • Identify additional trash control measures needed to reduce trash generation rates to “low” trash generation;
• Identify areas for FCS installation in areas where the most significant reduction in trash is needed and propose locations for FCS installation were applicable; and • Develop a methodology for how FCSE will be demonstrated, including developing a trash generation rate to use for future compliance determination. 4 BASELINE TRASH GENERATION LEVELS
Baseline trash generation levels are needed to effectively plan for Track 2 compliance and provide a starting point for demonstrating trash load reductions as part of the FCSE demonstration requirement. As part of the planning effort, the City developed baseline trash generation rates using OVTAs. This section provides an overview of the protocols used for conducting OVTAs, a presentation of the results and a calculation of the City’s baseline trash generation level.
4.1 APPROACH
Stone Creek Environmental Consulting (Stone Creek) conducted OVTAs using the SWRCB’s Trash Assessment Minimum Level of Effort (TAMLE) for Establishing Baseline Trash Generation Levels. The TAMLE approach is recommended by the SWRCB for establishing baseline trash generation levels and is based on the findings of a Proposition 84 study, Tracking California’s Trash. Additionally, the protocol has been used throughout the San Francisco Bay Area by Phase I Permittees. A copy of the TAMLE protocol is included in Appendix A. The City used the TAMLE protocol to conduct two baseline assessments as described below.
4.2 CONDUCTING BASELINE TRASH GENERATION ASSESSMENTS
The City conducted two assessments to establish baseline trash generation rates. The assessment frame for studying trash levels is all the streets and sidewalks that are in defined PLUs.
Assessment segments were identified at random throughout each of the PLUs. A total of 53 PLU assessments were developed, totaling 6.94 miles.
Bus stops were also assessed throughout the jurisdiction. This included assessing bus stops both within PLUs and in other parts of the jurisdiction. Bus stops were only assessed for those located in areas that drain to the MS4 and not the sanitary sewer. There are 12 bus stops in total.
The assessment frame and assessment segments are presented in Figure 1.
The first assessment was conducted in March 2024 and is considered a wet weather assessment.
The second assessment was conducted in June 2024 and is considered a dry weather assessment.
Additional assessments were identified for the project after the initial OVTAs were conducted.
Additional OVTAs were conducted in September 2024 and October 2024. Assessments were Trash Implementation Plan
4 City of Ripon August 2025
conducted directly before street sweeping events and did not take place within 48 hours of a rain event.
Following TAMLE protocols, Stone Creek staff conducted all assessments by walking along the sidewalk and observing trash levels on the street, sidewalk, and adjacent land areas that could be transported to the MS4. In areas where no sidewalk was present, assessments were conducted from a car. A trash generation level was assigned to each assessment site using the following scale:
• Low Trash: 0-5 gallons/acre/year. Effectively no trash can be observed on a city block or the equivalent. There may be some small pieces in the area, but they are not obvious at first glance and one individual could quickly pick them up. A low trash generation level is the goal of a stormwater trash control program and is considered equivalent to the performance of a full trash capture system. • Moderate: 5-10 gallons/acre/year. Predominantly free of trash except for a few pieces that are easily observed along a city block, or the equivalent. The trash could be collected by one or two individuals in a short period of time. • High: 10-50 gallons/acre/year. Trash is widely/evenly distributed, and/or small accumulations are visible on the street, sidewalks, or inlets. It would take a more organized effort to remove the litter.
• Very High: 50-150 gallons/acre/year. Trash is continuously seen throughout the area, with large piles and a strong impression of lack of concern for litter in that area.
There is often significant litter even along gutters that are swept.
Trash generation levels for each assessment site were recorded in a digital app and pictures were taken at each site to best represent the trash generation level.
4.3 RESULTS
4.3.1 TAMLE Results
After completing both assessments, the results were compared. The designated trash level is assigned to each assessment site based on the highest trash level recorded. For example, if a trash level were recorded as low for the first assessment and high for the second assessment, the designated level would be high. The results of both assessments and the designated trash level for each assessment site are summarized in Table 1.

4.3.2 Public Transportation Stations
All twelve bus stops were assessed for trash conditions. All bus stops revealed a low trash generation level. Bus stops do not seem to be a source of concern related to trash. Locations of bus stops are included in Figure 1.
Appendix B includes detailed information about assessment sites and findings including photos representing trash levels for each assessment site.
A Baseline Trash Generation Map has been created showing the final baseline trash generation level. The map is color coded based upon trash levels observed: Green = Low, Yellow = Moderate, Red = High, and Purple = Very High. To generate the map, trash generation levels were transferred to a Geographic Information System (GIS) map, showing assessment results based on the color codes. Trash generation colors are then transferred to adjacent parcels. The Baseline Trash Generation Map is provided as Figure 3.
4.4 BASELINE TRASH GENERATION RATES
The estimated baseline rate (volume) of trash generated from PLU areas was derived using the methodology developed in the study Bay Area via the Baseline Trash Generation Rates for the San Francisco Bay Area project (BASMAA 2014). Annual trash generation rates are expressed as the volume (in gallons) of trash generated per acre of land. Rates established by BASMAA are based on average trash loading rates for each trash generation level and are presented in Table 2.
Table 2: Average Trash Loading Rate
Trash Generation Level Trash Generation Rate, gallons/acre/year Low Equivalent to FCS
Moderate 7.5
High 30
Very High 100
By multiplying these rates by the corresponding acres of each PLU area, the baseline trash rates are derived for moderate, high, and very high trash generation levels. The total baseline volume of trash generated from all PLU areas represents the amount of trash that is discharged to a receiving water body prior to implementation of additional FCS or equivalent institutional controls. The baseline volume will be compared to trash levels determined in future years to evaluate compliance towards achieving FCSE.
The City has estimated the baseline trash generation rate using the findings from the OVTAs and recorded trash generation levels. The estimated rate is 228 gallons of trash per year. The baseline trash generation rate derivation is shown in Table 3 below.

5 EXISTING INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS
Institutional controls are defined in the Trash Provisions as “non-structural BMPs that may include, but not be limited to, street sweeping, sidewalk trash bins, collection of trash, anti-litter education and outreach programs, producer take-back for packaging, and ordinances.” This section of the TIP provides an overview of the City’s current institutional controls used to manage trash within the City’s jurisdiction.
5.1 STREET SWEEPING
Sweeping is conducted on a weekly basis. The City has one full-time employee dedicated to street sweeping.
5.2 STORMWATER ORDINANCE ENFORCEMENT
Municipal Code Chapter 13.14 is the Urban Storm Water Quality Management and Discharge Control Ordinance. The Ordinance includes the prohibition of illegal discharges to the City’s storm drain system. Specifically related to trash, the Ordinance states that:
No person shall discharge, permit to be discharged, or cause to be discharged into the Storm Water Conveyance System or watercourses any materials, including but not limited to, pollutants or waters containing any pollutants that cause or contribute to a violation of applicable water quality standards. The commencement, conduct or continuance of any illicit discharge to the Storm Water Conveyance System is prohibited except as described herein. and
No person shall discard, deposit, leave, maintain, keep or permit to be discarded, deposited, left, maintained or kept, in or upon any public or private property, driveway, parking area, street, alley, sidewalk, component of the storm drain system, or water of the United States, any refuse, rubbish, garbage, litter, or other discarded or abandoned objects, articles or accumulations, so that the same may cause or contribute to pollution.
The City’s Municipal Code is the main regulatory tool the City has to enforce the prohibition of pollutants into the storm drain system, including trash. The Ordinance includes authority for enforcing violations including issuance of a notice of violation, cease and desist order, stop work order, or compliance order.
Trash Implementation Plan
8 City of Ripon August 2025
Other municipal ordinances address trash include Chapter 8.12 Garbage Collection and Disposal, which states:
8.12.060 Unlawful Deposit of Garbage or Rubbish: It is unlawful for any person in the City to throw or deposit any solid waste, or to cause the same to be thrown or deposited, upon any street, alley, gutter, park, or other public way, or to throw or deposit the same in or upon any private premises or vacant lot, or to store or keep the same, except in containers for pickup as required by this Chapter. It is unlawful to store, deposit, or keep solid waste in any place where rodents can have access thereto or feed thereon. (Ord. 570 §1, 1997)
Chapter 8.14 Illegal Dumping: Nuisance Vehicles:
8.14.040 Dumping waste unlawful: It is unlawful for any person or entity to dump or cause the dumping of any waste, except at permitted facilities used to receive, temporarily store, separate, convert or otherwise process the materials or public property specifically designated to receive such waste.
5.3 EDUCATION AND OUTREACH
The City has a robust stormwater education and outreach program, which includes elements related to trash management. Education and outreach resources can be found on the City’s website.
5.4 DISPOSAL GUIDES
The City has a website that provides information on how to dispose of waste. The County of San Joaquin’s Public Works website also includes resources for appropriate disposal of waste, including information on recycling.
5.5 ILLEGAL DUMPING ABATEMENT
The City enforces abatements of illegal dumping on private property. The City and its contractors abate illegal dumping on public lands.
5.6 TRASH BIN MANAGEMENT
The City maintains public trash cans throughout the City. All receptacles are emptied at least twice a week, or more frequently if needed. The following is a list of publicly maintained trash receptacles:
• There are 24 trash receptacles on Main Street from Wilma to Nourse which includes the Downtown area,
• Every City park has trash receptacles,
• Stouffer Park, Community Center, and Mistlin Sports Park have multiple trash receptacles,
• Oak Grove (Public access by the Stanislaus River) – multiple trash receptacles throughout the area,

9 City of Ripon August 2025
• Stanislaus River Trail parking lot at end of S. Parallel Ave., • Stanislaus River Trail parking lot at end of Jack Tone Rd., • Park & Ride – Frontage Rd. behind Flying J Truck stop, and • Fueling Station
5.7 STORM DRAIN MAINTENANCE
The City has developed a storm drain maintenance priority system which includes an inventory of high priority storm drains, annual inspection and cleaning procedures, and removal of trash and debris prior to the rainy season.
6 EXISTING TREATMENT CONTROLS
The Trash Provisions define treatment controls as “structural BMPs to either (a) remove pollutants and/or solids from stormwater runoff, wastewater, or effluent, or (b) capture, infiltrate or reuse stormwater runoff, wastewater, or effluent. Treatment controls include FCS and low impact development (LID) controls.” Treatment controls also include multi-benefit projects.
FCS is defined as a treatment control, or series of treatment controls, including but not limited to a multi-benefit project or a LID control that traps all particles that are 5 millimeters (mm) or greater, and has a design treatment capacity that is either: (a) of not less than the peak flow rate, Q, resulting from a one-year, one-hour, storm in the subdrainage area, or (b) appropriately sized to, and designed to carry at least the same flow as the corresponding storm drain. Either treatment capacity is considered acceptable, and it is not necessary to select the larger of the two.
Multi-benefit projects are defined as a treatment control designed to achieve any of the benefits set forth in Section 10562, Subdivision (d) of the Water Code. Examples include projects designed to infiltrate, recharge, or store stormwater for beneficial reuse; develop or enhance habitat and open space through stormwater and non-stormwater management, and/or reduce stormwater and non-stormwater runoff volume.
LID is defined as a treatment control that employs natural and constructed features that reduce the rate of stormwater, filter out pollutants, facilitate stormwater storage onsite, infiltrate stormwater into the ground to replenish groundwater supplies, or improve the quality of receiving groundwater and surface water.
There are several businesses that have implemented post-construction BMPs, including LID and the installation of trash capture devices. It is unknown if these BMPs meet the definition of an FCS. As part of this TIP, the City is going to review exiting trash capture devices and LID projects to determine if they meet the definition of FCS. 7 PROPOSED CONTROL METHODS FOR TRASH LOAD REDUCTION
To comply with the requirements of Track 2 and the 13383 Order, the City has carefully reviewed options for implementing trash control measures. The City plans to meet the requirements of Track 2 as described below:
Trash Implementation Plan
10 City of Ripon August 2025
7.1 LOW TRASH GENERATION AREAS
As discussed in Section 2.2, a low trash generating level is the goal of a stormwater trash control program and is considered equivalent to the performance of a full trash capture system.
Therefore, for all areas determined to be low trash generating, the City proposes to continue with implementation of current institutional controls as described in Section 5. These institutional controls demonstrate effectiveness in the low trash generating areas. In line with the San Francisco Bay Area approach, low trash generation areas will not be further assessed and are considered to meet the requirements of the Trash Provisions.
7.2 MEDIUM TRASH GENERATION AREAS
The City’s efforts for compliance with the Trash Provisions will be to focus efforts in medium trash generation areas. Trash controls will be implemented in medium trash generating areas as follows:
• Institutional control measures will continue to be implemented in medium trash generation areas.
• FCS treatment will be identified for projects with LID BMPs that meet the definition of FCS.
• FCS treatment will be identified for businesses that have installed trash capture devices that meet the definition of FCS.
• Efforts around street sweeping will be increased from once per week to twice per week. • The City will conduct outreach in medium trash generation areas, specifically targeted at business owners and tenants. The outreach will include a survey of current business practices associated with trash management, provide businesses with outreach materials related to stormwater pollution prevention, trash, and trash management requirements and encourage businesses to voluntarily promote anti-littering and pick up litter on a daily basis.
8 FULL CAPTURE SYSTEM EQUIVALENCY DEMONSTRATION
FCSE is defined as the trash load that would be reduced if FCS were installed, operated, and maintained for all storm drains that capture runoff from the relevant PLUs. The FCSE is a trash load reduction target that the permittee quantifies by using an approach and technically acceptable and defensible assumptions and methods for applying the approach, subject to the approval of the CVRWQCB. This section of the TIP outlines the City’s proposed approach to demonstrating FCSE.
The City proposes to demonstrate FCSE by conducting one routine OVTA during TIP implementation, track progress, and report results. Assessments will use a similar protocol for OVTAs implemented for establishing baseline trash generation rates. This section provides the proposed methodology for continued OVTA to demonstrate FCSE.
Trash Implementation Plan
11 City of Ripon August 2025
8.1 OVTA PROGRESS ASSESSMENT PROGRAM
The City has developed a proposed methodology for demonstrating FCSE based on the method developed by EOA, Inc. (EOA) and distributed by the California Stormwater Quality Association (CASQA), which is widely used and accepted in the San Francisco Bay Area. This approach defines FCSE as “the consistent achievement of low trash generation in a PLU (or equivalent alternative land area), as determined via OVTAs.” Based on that definition, the City proposes to demonstrate FCSE by conducting regular OVTAs to monitor trash level improvements over time as BMPs are implemented. Routine OVTAs will take place at Frontage and Santos 1. The establishment of consistent low trash generation will be considered equivalent to full capture. The methodology for demonstrating FCSE includes the following components:
• Account for FCSs. Areas treated by FCSs are not required to demonstrate FCSE and therefore are not included in the progress assessment program. • Conduct a minimum of three OVTA progress assessments at each assessment segment, each year.
• Conduct assessments immediately following street sweeping to study street sweeping effectiveness.
• Conduct assessments of no sooner than 48 hours following more than 0.25 inches of rain in a 24-hour period.
• Record and maintain data using CASQA’s Trash Reduction Calculator, or equivalent. • On an annual basis, calculate trash reductions and present progress toward Trash Provision goals by comparing baseline trash levels to subsequent trash levels.
Calculations will be made by using the following equation:
[(Baseline Trash Level - Current Trash Level) / Baseline Trash Level] * 100 + %Offset Credit = % Trash Reduction • Present findings in the City’s Annual Reports for the stormwater program.
The City is proposing that three consecutive low trash generation levels be the criteria to establish compliance with FCSE. Three consecutive low trash generation scores at an assessment segment would move this area from medium trash to low trash and establish the necessary trash load reduction for this trash management area. Upon three consecutive low trash generation scores, the area would be considered low trash, thus meeting FCSE, and the City would therefore discontinue any additional progress assessments.
Trash Implementation Plan
12 City of Ripon August 2025
9 IMPLEMENTATION AND SCHEDULE
The City is required to complete the implementation of the plan and meet all requirements of the Trash Provisions no later than December 2030. According to the Trash Provisions, the City should have 10 years to fully implement the plan. However, due to the timing of the MS4 Permit renewal, the City will not have the entire 10 years to comply. We anticipate having five to six years to meet final requirements.
To develop the schedule, the City has identified steps necessary to implement trash control measures to reduce trash by 25 percent a year over a four-year period. To determine how to meet a reduction of trash loading by 25 percent each year, the percentage of trash loading is calculated in Table 4.
Table 4: Implementation Schedule
Year Trash Generation
Rate, gallons/year
Trash Loading
Rate, percent
Cumulative Trash
Reduction, percent
1 FY 2025/2026 57 25% 25%
2 FY 2026/2027 57 25% 50%
3 FY 2027/2028 57 25% 75%
4 FY 2028/2029 57 25% 100%
5 FY 2029/2030 - - -
Based on the percentage trash loading reductions needed each year, the following strategy is proposed to meet a reduction of trash loading by 25 percent a year:
• In Years 1-4, the City will implement trash reduction measures focused in the medium trash generation category. The City will increase street sweeping, develop and implement the outreach strategy and assess existing LID BMPs and installed trash capture devices for compliance with the design storm requirements for trash management. The City anticipates the strategy will reduce trash at a rate of 25 percent each year for the first four years, totaling a 100 percent reduction.
• During Year 4, the City will assess overall compliance with trash reduction and determine if the proposed strategy is effective at the overall goal of reducing trash at the expected rate. If the strategy continues to be effective, the City will demonstrate full compliance with the trash provisions has been achieved. If additional measures are needed to reach the final loading reductions, the City will assess installing FCSs to meet the final loading reduction needs.
• Implementation of institutional controls and FCS operation and maintenance will continue on an on-going basis and beyond the implementation schedule.
Trash Implementation Plan
13 City of Ripon August 2025
10 ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT
The TIP sets out the City’s plan to comply with the requirements of the Trash Provisions over a 5-year period. During this time, the City may need to revise the TIP for various reasons including, but not limited to, incorporating new data and information, revising the strategy of implementing institutional controls and treatment controls for increased effectiveness, or reevaluating areas for FCS opportunities. The City is proposing to the CVRWQCB to allow for adaptive management of the TIP so that revisions can be made to incorporate new information as appropriate. Revisions will be submitted to the CVRWQCB for approval and will not be implemented until approval is received.
11 DISCLOSURES
This plan was developed in part using the methodologies developed by EOA and approved by the San Francisco Bay Area Water Quality Control Board. References to the methodology were distributed by CASQA at the Trash Full Capture Equivalency Using On-land Visual Trash Assessments training. The training was offered to CASQA members, and Colleen Hunt, author of the TIP, completed the training. Authorization has been provided to use the methodology developed by EOA for compliance with Track 2 of the Trash Provisions. It is the intent of the author to give full credit to EOA for the methodology of demonstrating full capture system equivalency described herein.

TAMLE
Recommended Trash Assessment Minimum
Level of Effort for
Establishing Baseline Trash Generation Levels
The following trash assessment minimum level of effort (TAMLE) is recommended by the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) for establishing baseline trash generation levels in Priority Land Uses and/or other land uses and locations. The TAMLE is based on the findings of a recent Proposition 84 study (Tracking California’s Trash) completed in 2016 that was funded by the State Water Board. The recommended TAMLE utilizes Tracking California’s Trash On-land Visual Trash Assessment protocols to establish qualitative estimates of the amount of trash generated on street segments, sidewalks and adjacent land areas, and transported into the MS4. The complete protocol can be found here:
http://basmaa.org/Announcements/tracking-cas-trash-on-land-visual-assessments The protocol has been extensively and successfully used by San Francisco Bay Area Phase I municipalities to establish baseline trash generation maps that serve as the starting point for demonstrating trash reductions into the MS4. Trash generation categories (A-Low, B-Moderate, C-High, and D-Very High) based on the levels of trash observed during assessments are assigned to adjacent land areas (e.g., priority land use areas), which are then illustrated on baseline trash generation maps. Each trash generation category has a corresponding trash generation rate that was established during the Bay Area Trash Generation Rate Study (BASMAA 2014) and confirmed during the recent Tracking California’s Trash project (BASMAA 2016).
Establishing Baseline Trash Generation Maps
Consistent with the 13383 Order, Phase II MS4 permittees (Permittees) are directed to submit maps illustrating priority land uses and/or other land uses and locations that drain into their MS4. Connections from within priority land use private property must also be identified. These areas serve as the locations where trash reductions are mandated by the Trash Amendments.
Additionally, Permittees selecting Track 2 are also directed to identify baseline trash generation levels for each priority land use and/or other selected land uses and locations.
Equipment and Methods
The TAMLE methodology is relatively simple and inexpensive to use, but provides a level of precision needed to accurately depict baseline trash generation. The protocol requires a minimum of two field crew members, both for objectivity and safety, each trained in the use of the TAMLE protocol. Very limited equipment is needed (i.e., clipboard, pencils/pens, digital camera preferably with GPS capabilities, and field forms and maps). Bright clothing or safety vests are also recommended for field crew members.
MS4 permittees employ the following steps to establish baseline trash generation levels via TAMLEs:

1. Assemble equipment needed to conduct the assessment including the field form delineating the assessment area and review trash assessment category definitions presented in the protocol.
1 2. Once at the Priority Land Use area and other selected land use or locations to be assessed (hereinafter referred to as Assessment Area), safely walk at a normal pace on the sidewalk adjacent to the Assessment Area observing the levels of trash present on the street, sidewalk, and adjacent land areas that could be transported to the MS4. In areas where no sidewalk is present, assessments may be conducted by slowly driving adjacent to the Assessment Area and observing trash on the street and sidewalk. 2 3. Collectively agree on the appropriate trash generation category to assign the Assessment Area and document the category observed on field data sheets and/or maps. Crew members should take at least one photograph per Assessment Area to document that the site was visited and to document the level of trash present.
4. Assessment results should be transferred to trash generation maps to illustrate baseline trash generation levels in the Assessment Areas. Color-coding maps based on the trash levels observed (Green=Low, Yellow=Moderate, Red=High, and Purple=Very High) during TAMLEs.
Frequency and Timing of Assessments
To accurately establish baseline trash generation levels for the Assessment Area, a minimum of two TAMLEs should be conducted on streets and sidewalks associated with each Assessment Area (BASMAA 2016). To the extent possible, assessments should be conducted during both the dry (April-September) and wet (October- March) seasons. So that baseline trash generation levels are not under-predicted, assessments should be conducted at timeframes when the greatest level of trash has accumulated on streets and sidewalks (e.g. directly before streetsweeping events). Additionally, in order to reduce the influence of recent rainfall-runoff events that may have washed street trash into storm drains, TAMLEs should only be conducted if less than 0.5 inches of rainfall has occurred in a 24 hour period, 48 hours prior to the assessment.
Estimated Resources Needed to Establish Baseline Generation Levels via TAMLEs The extent of the Assessment Areas within each MS4 permittee’s jurisdiction will govern the level of effort needed to establish the baseline trash generation levels using TAMLEs. The more Assessment Areas within a city/county, the more time and resources will be needed to conduct assessments and map the results. The following examples are based on the experience of MS4s in the San Francisco Bay Area and are given to provide rough estimates of the time that an MS4 permittee (small or moderate sized city) would need to expend to establish baseline trash generation levels in Assessment Areas using the TAMLE approach. 1 Trash generation rates are: Low (0 – 5 gallons/acre/year); Moderate (5‐10 gallons/acre/year); High (10‐15 gallons/acre/year); and Very High (50‐150 gallons/acre/year). 2 This technique should only be used when automobiles are not parked on the street, which can obstruct the view of trash.
