ITEMS PULLED FROM CONSENT

1.2A : SAN JOAQUIN PARTNERSHIP
Annual Membership Fee - Invoice #11233 $5,000.00
Council Member Zuber questioned the value of the San Joaquin Partnership and suggested inviting them to the next City Council meeting to explain how they benefit the City. City Administrator Werner said staff will reach out to the Partnership.

Vice Mayor Barton said that, in his experience, the meetings were not a good use of time and recommended waiting to pay the invoice until Council hears from the Partnership.

Council Member Restuccia said he previously served on the Partnership Board but stopped attending because the focus was mainly on Stockton and Tracy.

Zuber clarified he is not opposed to membership or paying the fee and that inviting the Partnership would be a good reminder that Ripon is part of the organization and an opportunity for the Partnership to highlight what they are doing for the City.

Barton said he would like to postpone payment of the San Joaquin County Partnership Invoice until the Council hears from a representative of the Partnership and at that time, the Council will make a decision on whether or not to approve the invoice.

Mayor de Graaf asked if there is a late payment penalty. City Administrator Werner confirmed there is not, as staff had just recently received the invoice.

Zuber said he does not want to see a long delay. He said he does not want to send a message saying something that we regret later. Barton agreed and said that if Council does not hear from the Partnership for six months, that is a message received.

Landscape Repair Project
Progress Payment – Invoice #5 $96,927.17
Council Member Zuber said that the City had required developers to install landscaping and over time, much of it had fallen into disrepair. He said the recent improvements are beginning to achieve the effect Council intended when the landscaping project was approved. Zuber said that the City works hard to ensure that as Ripon grows, it remains a community people want to be in rather than simply functional.

Council Member Restuccia agreed with Zuber and said much of the credit goes to the staff for following up and ensuring the work was completed.

3. PUBLIC HEARINGS
Council will take action on the following items at the conclusion of each Public Hearing.

A. RESOLUTION APPROVING THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT PERMIT FEE

SCHEDULE
RESOLUTION NO. 25-29

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RIPON

APPROVING THE BUILDING

DEPARTMENT PERMIT FEE

SCHEDULE WITH ANNUAL

INDEXING
This is public hearing to consider adoption
of a resolution approving the Building
Department Permit Fee schedule.

Recommended Action:

Staff recommends that the City Council
adopt the resolution approving the Building
Department Fee Schedule and the indexing
of those fees, beginning January 1, 2027.

Planning Director Zuidervaart said this is a public hearing to consider adoption of a resolution approving the Building Department Permit Fee schedule. He explained that the Building Department safeguards the health, safety, and welfare of the community by reviewing and approving building plans, conducting inspections, and enforcing state and local building standards.

Zuidervaart said that the City does not currently maintain a formally published fee schedule.

Instead, fees are based on the 1994 Uniform Administrative Code, adopted by the City in 1996, and have not been updated since. He said rising labor costs, overhead, and regulatory requirements have increased expenses, and current fees now recover only 57% of the Department’s actual costs.

Zuidervaart said the proposed fee schedule is designed to reach a 90% cost recovery rate, which is consistent with best practices across California. Zuidervaart said this adjustment will help the Department maintain adequate staffing, meet community needs efficiently, and continue to provide responsive customer service.

Zuidervaart said that the new structure is based on nationally recognized valuation data from the International Code Council. This approach will simplify the fee calculation process, promote fairness, increase transparency for applicants, and ensure Ripon’s fees remain competitive with nearby jurisdictions.

Council Member Restuccia said he is pleased to see that the proposed permit fee schedule covers the cost of the Building Department. He said it is important to maintain the quality of Ripon.

PUBLIC HEARING OPENED
On behalf of the public, City Clerk Roos read the following public comment received via email:

Marty Harris shared that he and his wife are Ripon homeowners, joined by five of their children, their spouses, and 21 grandchildren. Citing a July 1, 2025 CalMatters article, he raised concerns about California’s rollback of environmental laws, which exempts certain high-tech and water projects from CEQA.

City Council Page 8 September 9, 2025
Harris questioned what powers the City of Ripon has to assess and manage drainage and environmental impacts under the new law, who decides if CEQA applies, and who is ultimately responsible for downstream impacts: federal, state, local, or private parties. He also asked what new taxes might follow.

Harris said with SGMA mandates, rising housing demands, unstaffed firehouses, and aging infrastructure, he believes the best path forward is shared services and increased local investment by paying higher taxes. He asked otherwise, who will pay and who will take control of Ripon’s water rights.

PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED
Motion to approve Resolution 25-29 approving the Building Department Fee Schedule and the indexing of those fees, beginning January 1, 2027.

RESULT: ADOPTED [UNANIMOUS]
MOVER: Leo Zuber, Council Member
SECONDER: Michael Restuccia, Council Member
AYES: de Graaf, Barton, Uecker, Restuccia, Zuber

4. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. TRASH IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Discussion/No Action Staff to discuss the Trash Implementation Plan to be submitted to the State Water
Resources Control Board as required by
the City's Municipal Separate Storm Sewer
Systems permit.

Public Works Director Pease said the State Water Board adopted “Trash Provisions” in 2015 to prevent trash from entering storm drains and waterways, including the Stanislaus River. Cities and counties must fully comply by 2030 through either Track 1 or Track 2 compliance methods. He said the City initially selected Track 1, which involved installing large Full Trash Capture Systems at stormwater outfalls, but the cost was estimated at over $2 million for installation with $80,000 in annual maintenance. He said in 2023, the City hired Stone Creek Environmental to prepare a Trash Implementation Plan and in 2024 notified the State of the decision to switch to Track 2, which is projected to cost less than $200,000 total by 2030.

Pease said Track 2 allows the City to survey trash levels in Priority Land Use areas, which include high density residential, industrial, commercial, mixed urban, and public transportation. He said of the 53 locations surveyed by staff and consultants in both wet and dry seasons, 51 were rated low for trash generation, meaning no further action is required. Only two locations, Santos and Jack Tone near a truck stop, and Frontage and Milgeo near the Highway 99 ramps, were rated at a moderate level.

City Council Page 9 September 9, 2025
Pease said a moderate rating means some trash was visible but not at a level considered high or very high. Under the Plan, these areas must be surveyed three times per year until they achieve a low rating for three consecutive assessments, at which point no further action will be required. He said in the meantime, the City will increase street sweeping and provide outreach to local businesses to address trash accumulation.

Pease said if these measures are not successful by 2028 or 2029, the City may need to install Full Trash Capture Systems at catch basin inlets in those areas before the 2030 deadline. The cost of this work is estimated at $80,000 for installation and $10,000 annually for maintenance. He said the moderate locations together generate about 228 gallons of trash per year, which is the equivalent of 2.5 residential cans. The Plan will be submitted to the State Water Board, and staff will continue to monitor upcoming changes, including a revised stormwater permit expected in 2026.

Vice Mayor Barton said he admired staff’s approach to meeting the State’s requirements and asked if it would be possible to monitor more than three times a year in order to stay proactive. Pease confirmed that staff could do so and noted that City staff participated in the walkthroughs with the consultant to learn what to look for.

Council Member Restuccia said staff’s approach, with an estimated cost of $200,000, is a much better financial choice than the $2 million option.

REPORTS
Department Heads:

Police Chief Sauer said the Department participated in the Saturation Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) on August 19, 2025 along with multiple agencies within San Joaquin County with a total of 12 officers. He said STEP is aimed at reducing collisions by enforcing hazardous moving violations, including red light violations, speeding, distracted driving. He said that there were a total of 131 traffic stops conducted resulting in 117 citations over a period of about 8 hours. Sauer said STEP is a rotating monthly initiative in which law enforcement focuses on different cities throughout the County to improve traffic safety.

Council Member Zuber asked if the Department is still working on the scooter issue. Sauer confirmed. Council Member Zuber said he has noticed more of the kids wearing helmets but he is still receiving complaints about kids acting recklessly. Council Member Restuccia said he has also noticed that more of the kids in his neighborhood are wearing their helmets.

Planning Director Zuidervaart said there will be a Planning Commission meeting on September 15 where the Planning Commission will be considering a parcel map on North Jack Tone Road.

Zuber said he noticed that there was temporary fencing put up around the site near the Angle gas station and asked if that means construction is going to start. Zuidervaart said the contractor pulled a grading permit.

Public Works Director Pease reported that August water usage was down 13.5% compared to 2013 figures, and 1% from last year.

City Council Page 10 September 9, 2025
Pease said that the large item pickup program will continue through September and residents can sign up for a one-time pickup of up to four items through September.

Pease said the annual brush pick-up program will begin October 15 and will run through January

7. Vice Mayor Barton said he wanted to compliment staff on the newsletter that went out, specifically the article regarding how the City implemented the State requirement on trash separation. He said it is a great example of how staff tries to comply with State mandates and to do so at as low a cost as possible.

City Council:

Vice Mayor Barton said that while much of the news today focuses on violent crime in major cities, Ripon is fortunate not to experience that. He encouraged the community to keep the Police Department in their prayers, noting that the officers work hard to ensure Ripon remains a very safe city, something that can be easy to take for granted. He thanked the Chief and the Department for their efforts.

Mayor de Graaf thanked those who attended the meeting.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 6:37 PM. (Signed) Daniel de Graaf

PRESENTATION OF PROCLAMATIONS
San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors Chairman Canape said he had the idea to mark San Joaquin County’s 175th anniversary with visits across the County, including a stop in Supervisor Rickman’s district, to honor local communities and their leaders. He described Ripon native June Sand’s original County seal design and a new seal created by a youth in juvenile hall, symbolizing the County’s growth and future. Canape recognized several County representatives, staff and administrators who were present and highlighted some of the County’s achievements including serving over 800,000 residents, employing 8,000 people, and registering over 400,000 voters.

San Joaquin County Supervisor Rickman said he has seen how hard the members of the Council work to secure state and federal funding for roads, transportation and infrastructure. He said this milestone honored the County’s shared history, progress and vision for the future, with special pride in Ripon’s journey from a small riverside settlement to the almond capital of the world.

Philip Merlo, Executive Director of the San Joaquin County Historical Museum said that the region’s agricultural history is nationally significant, with fertile soils and strong irrigation systems making it one of the best places in the world for small business farming. He added that diverse communities, including Dutch, Portuguese, and Swiss-Italian immigrants, have built their American dream here, and that remembering this history fosters civic pride. 1 Packet Pg. 17

MEMO
To: Honorable City Council
From: Kevin Werner, City Administrator
Date: 09/09/2025
Subject: J D E engineering, inc.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Approve and authorize the Mayor to sign the Professional Services Agreement with J D E engineering, inc. to provide construction management and inspection services for various projects in the not to exceed amount of $30,000 (funding source: varies by construction project).

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

Due to a continued active construction workload of both Capital Improvements and Private Development projects, there is an ongoing need for professional assistance with project inspection and construction management services. City staff resources are limited, and supplementing staff with qualified consultants ensures that projects proceed efficiently, safely, and in compliance with approved plans and specifications.

The City previously contracted with MCR Engineering for these services, which Dan Eavenson has been the City’s primary inspector from MCR Engineering. Mr. Eavenson is no longer with MCR Engineering and has since established his own consulting firm. Staff is recommending the City Council approve the Professional Services Agreement with J D E engineering, inc. to allow consistency with the City inspection and construction management services.

The scope of the services to be provided includes:
 Providing on‐call project inspection on public and private site construction projects  Reviewing contractor schedule and related activities
 Assisting with review of Request for Information, material submittals, and payment application review
 Change order review

1.3.A
Packet Pg. 52
 Any other construction management or inspection tasks as requested by the Engineering staff
FISCAL IMPACT:

The proposed agreement with J D E engineering, inc. is for a not-to-exceed amount of $30,000.

The attached proposal details the time-and-materials cost structure for construction management and inspection services, based on a designated hourly rate. The expenses incurred will be charged to the appropriate fund corresponding to the construction project’s funding source.

MEMO
To: Honorable City Council
From: Ken Zuidervaart, Planning Director
Date: 09/09/2025
Subject: Building Department Fees
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution approving the Building Department Fee Schedule and the indexing of those fees, beginning January 1, 2027.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Ripon Building Department is responsible for safeguarding the health, safety, and welfare of those who live and work in the City by enforcing building safety standards established in the California Building Code, as well as local municipal codes and policies. The Building Department staff reviews and approves building plans and conducts field inspections to ensure all construction performed under a building permit complies with the approved plans and applicable regulations. The revenue that funds these tasks is collected through the various permit fees.

The City of Ripon Building Department currently does not maintain a formally published fee schedule for its services. Instead, permit and inspection fees are determined by referencing Tables 3-A through 3-H of the 1994 Uniform Administrative Code, which were adopted by Ordinance No. 557 in 1996 and have remained unchanged since then. Since that time, the Building Department has experienced significant increases in operational expenses due to rising labor costs, overhead, and new regulatory requirements. The current fee schedule no longer collects sufficient revenue through fees to offset the cost of the Building Department.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The purpose of this report is to seek City Council approval for an updated building permit fee schedule. The adjustments are designed to ensure that those individuals and entities that are utilizing the Building Department services are paying the appropriate fee base. This will ensure the Building Department is able to continue to provide timely, high-quality service, while keeping Ripon’s fees competitive with those in nearby jurisdictions.

3.A
Packet Pg. 68
The City’s Building Department Fee Program includes the following fee tables:
 Table A - Building Permit Fee Table: applies to valuation based building permits.  Table B - Plan Review Fees: applies to plan reviews.
 Table C - Additional Fees and Surcharge Fees: applies to all other required fees and miscellaneous fees.
 Table D - Residential Permits and Inspections: applies to building permits for all residential construction.
 Table E - Commercial Permits and Inspections: applies to building permits for all commercial construction.
 Table F - Schedule of Fees for Plumbing Permits and Inspections: applies to building permits for all plumbing construction related activities.  Table G - Schedule of Fees for Mechanical Permits and Inspections: applies to building permits for all mechanical construction related activities  Table H - Schedule of Fees for Electrical Permits and Inspections: applies to building permits for all electrical construction related activities.  Table I - Miscellaneous Permits and Inspections: applies to miscellaneous construction activities that don’t fall under any other categories.

The attached justification study evaluated the staff time in order to process, review, and inspect the various permits included in each fee table and recommends an updated permit fee to recover 90% of the Building Department expense through these fees.

JUSTIFICATION:

1. Cost Recovery and Department Expenses:

A detailed analysis of Building Department expenses, including labor, overhead, plan checks, and inspections, shows that current fees recover only 57% of actual costs. The proposed fee schedule is structured to achieve a 90% cost recovery rate, consistent with best practices for building departments in California. This adjustment will allow the department to maintain appropriate staffing and meet community needs efficiently, while continuing to provide responsive and knowledgeable customer service.

2. Adoption of Industry Standards:

The new fee structure is based on nationally recognized valuation data from the International Code Council (ICC). This approach promotes fairness, simplifies the fee calculation process, and enhances transparency for applicants by closely tying fees to construction project value and/or a time based approach.

3.A
Packet Pg. 69

3. Regional Comparison:

Staff conducted a thorough comparison of Ripon’s proposed building permit and plan check fees for Table A – Building Permit Fee Table, which is typically the highest fee, against those in surrounding cities and counties for homes at a variety of sizes and valuations. Even after the proposed adjustments, Ripon’s fees remain among the lowest when compared to neighboring jurisdictions as can be seen in the following comparison charts.

Building Permit and Plan Check Based on a
2,930 sq. ft. home with a valuation of
$344,000
1 Lathrop $ 3,665.19
2 Ripon $ 3,741.14
3 Escalon $ 3,765.99
4 Stockton $ 3,882.32
5 San Joaquin County $ 4,017.58
6 Stanislaus County $ 4,790.15

6 Stanislaus County $ 8,701.19
7 San Joaquin County $ 11,246.43
8 Lodi $ 13,091.41

4. Ongoing Adjustments:

To ensure that building permit fees keep pace with changes in costs over time, staff recommends annual adjustments as follows:
 Permit fees to be adjusted each year on January 1st starting in 2027 using the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
 Technology Maintenance and Program Recovery Fee (IT Fee) to be increased by 5% each year on January 1st starting in 2027.

Building Permit Fee Schedule
Justification Study
Background and Purpose
California cities may impose user and regulatory fees for services through provisions set forth in the State Constitution, Article XIII C § 1. Under this statute, a fee may not exceed the reasonable cost of providing the service or performing the activity. For a fee to qualify as such, it must relate to a service or activity performed at the request of an individual or entity upon which the fee is imposed.

The City of Ripon’s Building Department is responsible for safeguarding the health, safety, and welfare of those who live and work in the City by enforcing building safety standards established in the California Building Code, as well as local municipal codes and policies. The department reviews and approves building plans and conducts field inspections to ensure that all construction performed under a building permit complies with approved plans and applicable regulations.

The City of Ripon Building Department currently does not maintain a formally published fee schedule for its services. Instead, permit and inspection fees are determined by referencing Tables 3-A through 3-H of the 1994 Uniform Administrative Code, which were adopted by Ordinance No. 557 in 1996 and have remained unchanged since then. As a result, the permit fees are based on outdated standards that do not account for current costs, evolving construction practices, or the increasing service demands faced by the department.

The purpose of this fee study is to evaluate the City’s existing building permit fee structure and determine whether adjustments are necessary to ensure the City is appropriately recovering the cost of services provided by the Building Department. This includes plan review, inspections, and other administrative functions related to building permits.

Cost of Service Analysis
This fee study evaluates the fees associated with building and safety construction plan review, issuing of permits, and inspection approvals that are completed by the City of Ripon Building Department.

The Cost of Service Analysis is used to determine the full cost of providing these governmental services and activities. This analysis considers the direct and indirect cost associated with the Building Department operations. Direct costs include salary, benefits, payroll taxes and overhead.

This analysis also considered ancillary costs associated with staffing the Building Department such as, Workers Compensation, Capital Replacement, Software/IT Costs, and Training.

Staff was interviewed to determine the time associated with non-recovery activities such as responding to phone calls and general information requests/questions. It was determined

3.A.b
Packet Pg. 80
Attachment: Fee Justification Study (25-29 : Building Department Fees) approximately 90% of the Building Department’s time is associated with the processing, review, and/or inspection of a specific fee category while the remaining costs should not be considered in the calculation of fees for services. Therefore, the “target” level of cost recovery for each fee was established at 90% of the full cost of service.

The following table provides a summary of the annual costs incurred by the Building Department for services that are eligible to be recovered through fees.

Table 1
Building Services –
Processing, Plan Review,
& Insp.

Direct Cost including Overhead * $372,775
Workers Compensation * $ 13,279
Software/IT Costs ** $ 38,783
Capital Replacement ** $ 6,400
Training ** $ 4,000

Cost Recovery Target from Fees $ 396,632
* 90% Cost Recovery Goal
** 100% Cost Recovery Goal
To estimate resource requirements, staff time for permit processing, plan review, and inspections was evaluated through interviews with the personnel responsible for these activities. Staff provided input on the average time necessary to complete a typical service.

The fully burdened hourly rate was then applied to these staff time estimates, resulting in the cost of service analysis attached as Appendix A. As shown above, an average cost recovery rate based on the preceding 4.5 years of data would achieve the established cost recovery target, consistent with the amounts outlined in Table 1 above.

Cost Recovery Evaluation
The table below presents a comparison of estimated average annual revenue generated by the Building Department over a four-year period (2021-2024) under the current fee schedule versus the projected revenue under the recommended fee schedule. The analysis includes the corresponding cost recovery percentage based on the City of Ripon’s cost recovery target of 90%.

Annual Fee Indexing
To maintain alignment between the City’s cost of providing services and the revenues generated through building permit fees, staff recommends that all fees be adjusted annually based on the

3.A.b
Packet Pg. 81
Attachment: Fee Justification Study (25-29 : Building Department Fees) “Consumer Price Index (CPI) for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), All items – Bay Area Cities”, as published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. An exception applies to the Technology Maintenance and Program Recovery Fee (IT Fee), which shall be increased by a flat five percent (5%) annually. Because staffing costs represent the single largest component of the Building Department’s service delivery expenses, applying an annual adjustment of at least this amount ensures that the fee schedule remains consistent with actual cost drivers and prevents future underrecovery of costs.

Recommendation
City staff recommends adopting the updated Building Department fee schedule, as outlined in Appendix B, to achieve a cost recovery rate of approximately 90%, aligning with the City’s financial sustainability goals while continuing to provide quality building services.

MEMO
To: Honorable City Council
From: James Pease, Public Works Director
Date: 09/09/2025
Subject: Trash Implementation Plan
BACKGROUND:

On April 7, 2015, the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) adopted an Amendment to the Water Quality Control Plan for Ocean Waters of California to Control Trash (Ocean Plan) and the Part 1 Trash Provision of the Water Quality Control Plan for Inland Surface Waters, Enclosed Bays, and Estuaries (ISWEBE Plan). Together, they are collectively referred to as 'the Trash Amendments'. The project objective for the Trash Amendments is to provide statewide consistency for the Water Boards' regulatory approach to protect aquatic life and public health beneficial uses, and reduce environmental issues associated with trash in state waters, while focusing limited resources on high trash generating areas. The Trash Amendments accomplish this by:
 Establishing a narrative water quality objective for trash,  Establishing a prohibition on the discharge of trash,  Providing implementation requirements for permitted storm water and other dischargers,
 Setting a time schedule for compliance, and
 Providing a framework for monitoring and reporting requirements.

The Trash Amendments apply to all Phase I and II permittees, under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) permits, which the City of Ripon is designated a Phase II permittee. The State Water Board Executive Director sent separate 13383 Orders (known as the Trash Provisions) to all traditional MS4 permittees on June 1, 2017, to comply with the Trash Amendments by December 2030.

The Trash Provisions require permittees to select a method of compliance with the trash

4.A
Packet Pg. 91
prohibition by selecting either Track 1 or Track 2 compliance methods:
 Track 1: Install, operate, and maintain Full Capture Systems for the storm drain network that capture runoff from the Priority Land Use areas in their jurisdiction.  Track 2: Install, operate, and maintain any combination of Full Capture Systems, Multi-Benefit Projects, other Treatment Controls, and/or Institutional Controls within their jurisdiction.

Priority Land Use areas are identified as developed sites, facilities, or land uses within our jurisdiction from which discharges of trash are regulated by the Trash Provisions as follows:
 High-density residential – ten dwelling units/acre
 Industrial – involving product manufacture, storage, or distribution  Commercial – places involving sale or transfer of goods or services to consumers  Mixed urban – high-density residential, industrial, and/or commercial collectively  Public transportation – public transit stations and stops to load or unload passengers Selecting the Track 1 compliance method for Ripon essentially means placing Full Capture Systems in all areas of the City storm drain system where Priority Land Use areas have been identified at locations prior to discharging the storm water into the Stanislaus River. The Full Capture Systems would contain a 5 millimeter screen essentially eliminating all trash from entering the Stanislaus River during normal rain events. Although most devices include an overflow mechanism for larger storm events, Public Works staff will be required to clean and maintain these devices regularly in order to eliminate potential blockages and remove trash or leaves.

Selecting the Track 2 compliance method allows the City to determine if there are areas where Full Capture Systems will not need to be installed through the development of a Trash Implementation Plan (TIP). The first step is performing a trash assessment of the Priority Land Use areas to identify a baseline trash generation rate or level for each. The goal for each of the Priority Land Use areas is to achieve a low trash generation level which is considered equivalent to the performance of a full trash capture system. Once a Priority Land Use area has been identified at a low trash generation level no further action is required and these areas will essentially be considered in compliance with the Trash Provision.

The City initially selected Track 1 back in November 2018 which includes the installation of trash capture structures at discharge locations entering into the Stanislaus River from the high priority areas, this initial capital expense was estimated in excess of $2 million. These large vault style structures would require ongoing maintenance by City staff to clear out and dispose of trash and ensure no storm flow restrictions have occurred adding another estimated expense of $80,000 annually. However, to allow for a more flexible and economically feasible compliance approach the decision was made at the December 2023 Council Meeting to switch to Track 2 and hire Stone Creek Environmental Consulting to assist with developing a TIP in order to gain compliance. The City notified the State Water Board and Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (CVRWQCB) of the intent to switch to Track 2 in March 2024.

4.A
Packet Pg. 92
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

Attached is the TIP prepared by Stone Creek Environmental Consulting with assistance from City staff. The TIP results confirm the decision to switch to Track 2 due to the low volume of trash on City streets and in our City storm drain system. The goal is to meet the equivalency of a full trash capture system as defined by the State Water Board, below is a summary of the TIP:
o 53 separate Priority Land Use areas were identified and are described in Table 1 and Figure

1. The Priority Land Use areas cover approximately 327.5 acres that discharge to the Stanislaus River.
o Two separate On-land Visual Trash Assessments (OVTAs) were performed for each of the 53 Priority Land Use areas to determine baseline trash generation levels, one during the dry weather season and one during the wet weather season. The OVTA included walking the length of each Priority Land Use area segment with staff. The trash generation levels were then rated as either low, moderate, high or very high based on the amount of trash encountered in the gutters and on sidewalks.
 Low: 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 storm water 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, sidewalk, 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. o 51 of the Priority Land Use areas were assessed at a low trash generation level which demonstrates Full Capture System equivalency and no further action is required since the goal has been met.
o 2 of the Priority Land Use areas were assessed at a moderate trash generation level, they include the Santos Avenue/Jack Tone area and Frontage Road/Milgeo Avenue area. At this time increased street sweeping and outreach to businesses will be conducted in order to reduce the amount of trash generated in these areas.
o City staff will conduct three progress OVTAs annually for both of the Priority Land Use areas that are currently assessed as a moderate trash generation level. Upon three consecutive low trash generation scores, the area would then be considered a low trash generation level. The low trash generation level would mean Full Capture System

4.A
Packet Pg. 93
equivalency and the City would discontinue any additional progress assessments since the goal will be met.
o The City has until December 2030 to achieve this goal and progress will be assessed annually. If it is determined that low trash generation levels cannot be achieved through increased efforts at the 2 moderate rated Priority Land Use areas then the installation of Full Capture System devices at storm drain inlets may be required.

Moving forward, the TIP will be submitted to the State Water Board and implementation by City staff will begin shortly after. Additionally the State Water Board is working on a new General Permit Water Quality Order (GPWQO) for municipalities and it is anticipated to be adopted sometime in late 2026. This order will build on the current trash provisions in place, resulting in additional monitoring, reporting, and enforcement requirements.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The full cost of the Trash Provisions has yet to be realized although an estimate of expenses for each track is provided below. The cost savings benefit is clear with the decision to switch to Track 2.

Track 1:

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.

Packet Pg. 100 Attachment: 250805 Ripon Trash Implementation Plan (4797 : Trash Implementation Plan) 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;

4.A.a
Packet Pg. 101 Attachment: 250805 Ripon Trash Implementation Plan (4797 : Trash Implementation Plan) 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

4.A.a
Packet Pg. 102 Attachment: 250805 Ripon Trash Implementation Plan (4797 : Trash Implementation Plan) 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.

Packet Pg. 106 Attachment: 250805 Ripon Trash Implementation Plan (4797 : Trash Implementation Plan) 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,

• 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:

4.A.a
Packet Pg. 108 Attachment: 250805 Ripon Trash Implementation Plan (4797 : Trash Implementation Plan) 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.

4.A.a
Packet Pg. 109 Attachment: 250805 Ripon Trash Implementation Plan (4797 : Trash Implementation Plan) 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.

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.

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

4.A.a
Packet Pg. 116 Attachment: 250805 Ripon Trash Implementation Plan (4797 : Trash Implementation Plan) 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.
