Based on the direction of the discussion, the goal is now shifting, instead being framed as improving operational efficiency issue of the street sweeping program. A more targeted approach could evaluate operational performance, such as changes to service delivery based on regulatory requirements, while acknowledging the limitations of that scope. Specifically, focusing solely on operational efficiency does not fully address related impacts that have emerged over time, including parking restrictions, citation patterns, and broader concerns regarding perceived fairness across neighborhoods. As documented in the March 24 staff report, the City has made iterative operational adjustments over the past 40+ years; however, those changes have not resolved the recurring concern that impacts are experienced differently across the community. While a narrowed effort would focus on operational efficiency, staff intends to incorporate the San Mateo County’s Equity Assessment Framework as a safeguard to ensure that any operational changes do not inadvertently exacerbate existing impacts to the community.

Reducing street sweeping frequency does not automatically reduce costs. It is also unclear at this stage whether any changes would result in meaningful net savings or simply shift costs elsewhere.

Most of the program’s costs are fixed—staff, equipment, and baseline operations—so any savings would likely be limited to fuel and offset of maintenance costs to the streets division. There are currently two major unknowns, which will require further analysis. First, the reduced sweeping frequency’s impact on regulatory stormwater compliance. If compliance drops, the City could be required to add costly measures like trash capture devices and service them. This could outweigh any savings. Second, the current routes are interconnected, so changing the frequency in one area would require reworking the entire system, including schedules and potentially updates to a large number of signs to remain enforceable and the public outreach associated with the changes.

The Council discussion on March 24 highlighted that there were several ways to define the issue, goals, and approach. Staff’s original recommendation was to take a step back and evaluate the full system before making changes. Council preferred a more focused, cost-conscious approach at this time. That direction can be supported, however, it should be understood that a narrower effort would address specific aspects of the program rather than the full range of considerations identified in the broader review.

Options for consideration include:

1. Maintain the Current Program
Continue the existing street sweeping program as currently structured, recognizing that the City is meeting regulatory requirements and that no immediate compliance-driven changes are necessary. There is no additional cost to pursue this option.

2. Pursue a Targeted Operational Review as an FY 2026-27 City Council Initiative Focus on operational efficiency and related regulatory considerations to evaluate whether service levels or schedules can be refined in a more cost-effective manner. The San Mateo County’s Equity Assessment Framework would be leveraged to safeguard against additional operational changes inadvertently exacerbate existing impacts caused by the parking restrictions. Based on the current direction of discussion, this approach centers on improving how the existing street sweeping program is delivered, including evaluation of routes, frequency, service levels, and regulatory requirements. Overall, this shows that a narrower, operations-focused approach only addresses part of the issue. It may identify adjustments to service levels, but it does not evaluate related factors like parking

enforcement, signage, or community impacts. The estimated cost of this targeted evaluation is approximately $260,000

3. Pursue a Comprehensive System Evaluation as an FY 2026-27 City Council Initiative If the intent is to address the broader, long-standing concerns related to the interaction between street sweeping, parking restrictions, enforcement practices, and geographic impacts, a more comprehensive evaluation would be needed. This approach reflects the original strategy presented to Council and would examine the program as an interconnected system rather than a set of individual components. As outlined in the March 24 staff report, the estimated cost of a comprehensive evaluation is approximately $600,000.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact will vary depending on the option selected below and will be funded by the General Fund Reserve.

Option Description Cost
Option 1 Maintain the Current Program $0
Option 2 Pursue a Targeted Operational Review as an FY
2026-27 City Council Initiative $260,000
Option 3 Pursue a Comprehensive System Evaluation as
an FY 2026-27 City Council Initiative $600,000
The final cost and level of effort will ultimately depend on the scope and direction provided by Council.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

The action is not a project subject to CEQA. City Council’s action is not considered a “project” per CEQA Guidelines and therefore no further environmental analysis is required.

RECOMMENDATION:

Provide Direction for the Street Sweeping Program Analysis ALTERNATIVES:

1. Provide alternative direction on the issue, scope, priorities, or approach for the proposed Street Sweeping Program Analysis.

CITY OF SAN BRUNO
DATE: March 24, 2026

PREPARED BY: Matthew Lee, P.E., Public Works Director
Ana Morales, Management Analyst
SUBJECT: Receive a Presentation and Provide Feedback on the Proposed Scope of the FY2026-27 City Council Initiative: Street Sweeping Program Analysis
BACKGROUND:

The San Bruno
City Council has proposed a Street Sweeping Program Analysis as a desired FY2026–27 City Council Initiative.

Like most cities, street sweeping in the City of San Bruno (City) is a longstanding program that has evolved over time in response to physical infrastructure conditions, operational needs, and community input. As the program has been revisited over multiple decades, questions related to effectiveness, enforcement, and community impacts have continued to surface. Parking restrictions for street sweeping were piloted in 1981, established by City Council in 1982, and expanded and modified at various points throughout its over 40-year history.

To provide context for this effort, the following timeline summarizes key City Council actions, policy decisions, and program modifications that have shaped the program as it exists today. This historical overview provides the foundation for understanding how the program has developed over time and informs the evaluation approach discussed in the following section. 1979–1983: Program Development and Initial Implementation Prior to the early 1980s, the City maintained a street sweeping program without widespread parking restrictions. In early 1981, the City initiated a review of the program in response to complaints and City-conducted field surveys, which found that parked vehicles were consistently limiting the street sweeper’s ability to effectively access and clean the gutters, even during later morning hours when fewer vehicles were present. Staff also reported that prior efforts to obtain voluntary cooperation from residents and merchants—such as mailing street sweeping schedules with utility bills—had achieved only minor success. Based on those findings, staff recommended that the City Council consider trial no-parking zones for street sweeping.

In response, in 1981, City Council approved a trial no-parking program on Hensley Avenue, Easton Avenue, and Green Avenue between San Bruno Avenue and Sylvan Avenue. Staff identified this area as having persistent street sweeping problems, including narrow street widths, limited setbacks, and heavy debris accumulation associated with mature trees, which limited effective curb access.

In 1982, City Council advanced parking restrictions for street sweeping in areas identified as being prone to flooding. These areas were primarily located east of El Camino Real and were characterized by lower elevation, negative gutter slopes, narrower streets, and higher concentrations of vegetation. The purpose of these restrictions was to ensure the street sweeper could effectively access the curb line—where debris and pollutants accumulate. Because street sweeping is most effective when the curb line is accessible, these restrictions were necessary to allow the sweeper to remove debris, reduce storm drain blockages, and mitigate localized flooding.

By late 1983, the program was implemented and expanded in the City’s older residential areas generally east of El Camino Real, including: (1) residential streets bounded by San Mateo Avenue and El Camino Real and by Forest Lane and Sylvan Avenue, except Montgomery and Walnut; (2) all residential streets east of Huntington Avenue; (3) residential streets bounded by San Mateo Avenue and the southern City limits and by Huntington Avenue and El Camino Real; and (4) streets bounded by Angus Avenue and the southern City limits and by El Camino Real and Acacia Avenue. This expansion established the foundational structure of the City’s signed street sweeping program.
1990–1992: Expansion and Program Review
In 1990, the City Council received correspondence regarding possible expansion of the signed street sweeping program, including requests related to Summit Road and Acacia Avenue. In response, Public Works, with input from the Police Department, prepared a status report reviewing the program’s history, benefits, operational challenges, fiscal impacts, and tentative expansion concepts. The report confirmed that the signed program was then limited to residential streets east of El Camino Real, while the remainder of the City was swept on the same twice-monthly schedule without signage. It also concluded that Summit Road did not meet the City’s criteria for inclusion in the signed program, while Acacia Avenue met most of those criteria.

In early 1992, following resident concerns regarding the selective nature of street sweeping parking enforcement, the City Council directed the Traffic Safety and Parking Committee and Permit Parking Sub-Committee to review the program and make a recommendation. Their review included the area bounded by El Camino Real, Decima Allen School (Angus Avenue), Acacia Avenue, and the southern City Limit, and both bodies recommended expanding signed enforcement into that area.

After receiving that recommendation, City Council directed staff to conduct public outreach to residents within the affected area before acting. When the issue returned later in 1992, the Council did not expand the signed program. Instead, in response to public concerns, the Council directed staff to pursue a pilot effort focused on voluntary vehicle movement and enhanced public information, including test areas bounded by Jenevein Avenue, San Bruno Avenue, El Camino Real, and Cherry Avenue, and by San Bruno Avenue, I-280, Niles Avenue, and Cherry Avenue. As outlined in the subsequent program update, this approach was intended to test whether increased public information, voluntary vehicle movement, and coordination with garbage collection days where feasible could improve curb access for street sweeping. There were no identified Council actions during this timeframe implementing broader program changes based on that pilot effort. 2002: Shelter Creek Request and Policy Confirmation
In early 2002, the City received a request from the Shelter Creek Condominium Owners Association to install street sweeping signage along Shelter Creek Lane. Staff reported that, although Shelter Creek Lane was already included in the City’s bi-monthly sweeping schedule, 10 of 26

3 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
March 24, 2026

parked vehicles were frequently limiting curb access for the sweeper, resulting in debris accumulation along the gutter and storm drain inlets. Staff further noted that the area historically had not been signed, but that the conditions on Shelter Creek Lane were similar in some respects to those that had supported signed enforcement in other parts of the City.

In February 2002, the Traffic Safety and Parking Committee reviewed the request and concurred with staff’s recommendation to forward the matter to City Council for consideration.

City Council considered the request but did not authorize immediate implementation of a formal street sweeping parking restriction program on Shelter Creek Lane. Instead, Council deferred the matter for further deliberation and directed it back to the Traffic Safety and Parking Committee for additional outreach and input from both Shelter Creek residents and surrounding neighborhoods.

The City also scheduled a preliminary meeting with Shelter Creek representatives, staff, and Committee members to clarify objectives and evaluate feasible options. Accordingly, while the 2002 request prompted formal review, the City Council did not expand the signed program at that time.
2012–2013: Comprehensive Review and Operational Modifications In 2012, City Council revisited the street sweeping program in response to questions about why certain streets were subject to parking restrictions for street sweeping while others were not. In June 2012, City Council directed staff to prepare an informational review of the program, and in July 2012, staff presented the historical basis for the City’s signed street sweeping areas. That review reaffirmed that parking restrictions had historically been concentrated primarily east of El Camino Real because those areas were more prone to flooding, had lower elevations, negative gutter slopes, narrower streets, and higher concentrations of parked vehicles and vegetation, all of which limited effective curb access for the street sweeper. Staff also noted that every street in the City was swept twice monthly, but that parking restrictions were applied only where those physical and operational conditions made them necessary.

Following that review, City Council directed staff to further evaluate whether those same conditions still existed, whether the current parking restriction program remained effective and necessary, and whether changes should be considered. Staff then analyzed the existing program, reviewed practices in neighboring cities, and presented the following four alternatives to the City Council in November 2012: (1) leave the current parking restrictions as is, (2) expand parking restrictions citywide, (3) extend parking restrictions to selected streets west of El Camino Real—approximately the Hazel/Cypress area between Angus and Santa Lucia—or (4) modify the street sweeping program to enhance route schedules, cleaning frequency, and sweeping times.

Rather than expand the signed program citywide or into additional west-side areas at that time, City Council directed staff to proceed with operational modifications to the existing program. In November 2012 and January 2013, Council directed staff to modify street sweeping route times and frequency for residential, commercial, and major arterial areas. The approved changes included shifting residential street sweeping to later morning hours, beginning at 9:00 a.m. rather than 7:00 a.m., to provide residents with additional time to move their vehicles prior to sweeping operations. Also, increasing sweeping frequency in commercial and industrial areas from twice per month to four times per month, updating posted parking restriction times in signed neighborhoods, and implementing a broad public outreach program that included website notices, mailed flyers, Cable TV announcements, on-vehicle notices, sign decal updates, and a City Council status update. These operational changes were scheduled to take effect in February 2013. 11 of 26

2013–2014: Targeted Expansion – Shelter Creek Lane
In 2013, the City revisited Shelter Creek Lane following renewed interest from the Shelter Creek Condominium property manager after City Council’s broader 2012–2013 review of the street sweeping program. In September 2013, staff presented the matter to the Traffic Safety and Parking Committee, which considered alternatives including adding Shelter Creek Lane to the signed program, expanding restrictions to surrounding streets, or maintaining the existing approach. The review also identified related considerations such as parking displacement, enforcement needs, and community outreach.

In contrast to the 2002 review, the 2013–2014 review led to a targeted expansion of the signed street sweeping program. In February 2014, City Council formally approved the installation of a two-hour time-limited parking restriction zone along Shelter Creek Lane to improve street sweeping access.
2024: Regulatory Compliance Review
In response to questions raised at the February 2, 2024, City Council Retreat, staff prepared a memorandum dated May 7, 2024, regarding the City’s regulatory obligations to operate and maintain a street sweeping program. With assistance from EOA, Inc., staff reviewed the City’s Municipal Regional Permit (MRP) obligations and the role of street sweeping in supporting trash reduction and broader stormwater compliance efforts and concluded that, although no State or County law specifically required the City to operate a street sweeping program, street sweeping remained an important stormwater Best Management Practice that supported the City’s trash load reduction and broader water quality compliance efforts. The memorandum also noted that any reduction or elimination of the current program would require additional study to evaluate potential compliance risks and operational impacts.

FY2026-27 Street Sweeping Program Analysis
In response to these factors, the City Council has identified a Street Sweeping Program Analysis as a FY2026–27 City Council Initiative through the City Council goal setting session in January 2026. Through this effort, the City will conduct a comprehensive reassessment of the street sweeping program, building upon the historical progression outlined above. This next phase of evaluation will also incorporate a structured equity analysis to evaluate how historic program decisions have influenced current conditions across neighborhoods and highlight and develop solutions to address parts of town that are disproportionately affected. This effort is to inform a more consistent, effective, and equitable street sweeping program citywide moving forward.

DISCUSSION:

The historical development of the City’s street sweeping program, together with current operating conditions and enforcement patterns, indicates that a more comprehensive evaluation is warranted currently. The following discussion summarizes additional contextual information, including current program conditions and peer agency practices, and outlines the proposed framework for the FY2026–27 Street Sweeping Program Analysis.

Current Conditions
Consistent with the historical factors that informed the development of the City’s street sweeping program, recent data continues to reflect variations in debris accumulation across different areas of the community. According to the San Mateo Countywide Water Pollution Prevention Program’s 12 of 26

153 of 196

5 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
March 24, 2026

2025 Trash Generation Map (Figure 1), moderate to high trash generation areas are more heavily represented east of El Camino Real. This distribution generally corresponds with the types of conditions identified in earlier program evaluations, including flooding susceptibility, street width constraints, debris accumulation, and the need to maintain access to the curb line to support effective street sweeping operations.

Figure 1: San Bruno Trash Generation (2025)
The current distribution of regulatory street sweeping signage and associated parking enforcement also remains primarily concentrated in areas east of El Camino Real, as shown in Figure 2. This distribution is consistent with the historical implementation of the program, which targeted areas where operational constraints and environmental conditions limited the effectiveness of street sweeping without parking restrictions. As a result, parking restrictions and enforcement are more prevalent in these areas of the City and continue to play a significant role in how the program operates. Figure 2 also shows that many of the areas subject to street sweeping parking enforcement overlap with lower-resource areas of the City.

Additionally, since November 2023, following the transition to LAZ Parking for enforcement services, the City’s Police Department has issued 16,629 citations and 871 warnings related to street sweeping violations (Figure 3), representing approximately $800,000 in citation value.

Because enforcement occurs where street sweeping parking restrictions are posted, the burden of citations is concentrated in the same neighborhoods where the signed program operates. Where those neighborhoods overlap with lower-resource areas of the City, the financial impact of citations may be experienced disproportionately. This enforcement data therefore provides an additional indicator of how the current program may have created an unintended impact to a particular area of town.

Figure 3: Street Sweeping Citations Heat Map
These existing conditions, together with current enforcement data, provide important context for evaluating how the program is currently structured and how service needs, enforcement practices, and community impacts align across neighborhoods. Collectively, they also reinforce that neighborhoods east of El Camino Real continue to experience a disproportionate share of street sweeping restrictions and related enforcement compared to other areas of the City.

Neighboring City Comparison
As part of the City’s preliminary review, staff also considered current street sweeping practices used by nearby jurisdictions. This review indicates that local agencies use a range of approaches based on community conditions, operational priorities, and regulatory needs. 15 of 26

City Approach
Burlingame
 Mixed approach;
 Parking restrictions in the downtown area, with other areas swept every other week from April to September and weekly from October to March
Daly City
 Broad parking restriction approach;
 Parking restrictions appear to be applied citywide, with Mission Street swept five days per week and islands and other city streets swept weekly
Millbrae
 Mixed approach;
 Parking restrictions in some areas, with sweeping generally occurring weekly or twice per month
San Carlos
 No parking restrictions;
 Sweeping frequency varies by location, including weekly, twice per month, and once per month
San Mateo
 Mixed approach;
 Program adjusted to align sweeping frequency and restrictions with trash generation levels and stormwater compliance needs South San Francisco
 Mixed approach;
 Parking restrictions in some areas, with generally weekly sweeping
This range of local practices suggests that there is no single model for administering a street sweeping program. Rather, peer city experience indicates that program structure, sweeping frequency, and the use of parking restrictions may be calibrated differently depending on street conditions, operational constraints, trash generation, and policy priorities. This context supports the City’s proposed evaluation by confirming the value of a comprehensive review that considers not only the current structure of San Bruno’s program, but also whether alternative approaches or updated service models may better align with the City’s present-day operational, regulatory, and community needs.

To successfully implement the intent of this City Council Initiative (Initiative), City staff will undertake a comprehensive and structured evaluation of the existing street sweeping program.

Building upon the historical context outlined above, this effort is designed to assess current program performance, identify areas for improvement, and develop data-driven recommendations that support operational effectiveness, regulatory compliance, and reflect community needs.

As demonstrated through prior Council actions and program evaluations, the City has periodically refined the street sweeping program in response to changing conditions. While these efforts have focused primarily on operational performance and regulatory requirements, the current Initiative represents a more comprehensive and modernized approach. Specifically, this evaluation will examine the program across four key areas:

1. Regulatory compliance,

2. Parking enforcement and regulatory signage,

3. Operational efficiency, and

4. Community feedback, including a structured equity analysis. 16 of 26

157 of 196

9 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
March 24, 2026

Building on this expanded framework, a key feature in the current evaluation is the formal integration of a comprehensive equity analysis, which has not been a structured component of prior program reviews. By incorporating an equity-focused assessment process developed by the San Mateo County Office of Diversity and Equity—alongside traditional operational and regulatory analysis—the City aims to better understand neighborhood-level experiences and perspectives, and to develop recommendations that result in a more consistent, effective, and equitable street sweeping program citywide, while continuing to achieve the original goals of the program.

Scope of Analysis
To support this effort, the City will conduct a comprehensive analysis across the following four areas:

1. Regulatory Compliance
This area of analysis would build upon the prior review completed by EOA, Inc. regarding the City’s Municipal Regional Permit (MRP) obligations and trash reduction requirements, as presented in the May 7, 2024 memorandum to City Council. The analysis would provide a broader understanding of how the street sweeping program supports the City’s regulatory and environmental compliance responsibilities and would help inform how potential program changes may affect those considerations.

2. Parking Enforcement and Regulatory Signage
This area of analysis would examine the relationship between parking restrictions, regulatory signage, enforcement practices, and overall program implementation. The review would consider how the current enforcement and signage framework functions across different parts of the City and identify broader policy or operational considerations related to consistency, effectiveness, and community impact.

3. Operational Efficiency
This area of analysis would focus on how effectively the current street sweeping program is functioning from an operational standpoint. The review would consider existing routes, schedules, service delivery conditions, and other factors that influence the City’s ability to achieve the intended purpose of street sweeping, while also allowing for consideration of potential improvements or alternative approaches.

4. Community Feedback and Equity Analysis
This area of analysis would incorporate community perspectives and evaluate how the street sweeping program is experienced across neighborhoods. The review would include consideration of fairness, burden, and unintended disproportional impact associated with the current program structure, and would support the development of recommendations that are informed by both community input and other considerations.

The findings from this comprehensive historical, operational, regulatory, and equity-focused evaluation will inform future recommendations to the City Council regarding the structure, administration, and potential modification of the street sweeping program. These recommendations may include a range of options, such as maintaining the current program, expanding street sweeping signage or enforcement to additional areas or citywide, modifying operational practices, or identifying other approaches to improve program outcomes. The evaluation is also intended to recognize that unintended impacts may not be addressed through street sweeping alone but may instead involve a combination of considerations related to parking enforcement, regulatory signage, operations, and other factors identified through the analysis. Ultimately, this effort is 17 of 26

158 of 196

10 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
March 24, 2026

intended to provide a transparent and data-driven basis for determining how the program can continue to meet its original purpose while advancing more consistent, effective, and equitable outcomes citywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The estimated cost to complete the Street Sweeping Program Analysis is approximately $600,000.

This effort will require coordination with multiple external consultants to support the various components of the proposed scope, including regulatory compliance analysis, operational assessment, parking enforcement and signage evaluation, and equity analysis.

The final cost and level of effort will ultimately depend on the scope and direction provided by the City Council.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

The action is not a project subject to CEQA. City Council’s action is not considered a “project” per CEQA Guidelines and therefore no further environmental analysis is required.

RECOMMENDATION:

Receive a presentation and provide direction on the proposed scope of the FY2026-27 City Council Initiative: Street Sweeping Program Analysis.

ALTERNATIVES:

1. Provide alternative direction on the scope, priorities, or approach for the proposed Street Sweeping Program Analysis.

2. Direct staff to pursue a more limited or phased evaluation, focusing on specific components of the program (e.g., operational efficiency, regulatory compliance, or targeted geographic areas).

3. Decline to include the Street Sweeping Program Analysis as a FY2026–27 City Council Initiative and maintain the existing program without further evaluation at this time. 18 of 26

UBJECT: Follow-up Staff Response Regarding the City’s Regulatory Obligations to Operate and Maintain a Street Sweeping Program, as Requested from the February 2, 2024 City Council Retreat
I

NTRODUCTION
A
t the February 2, 2024 City Council Retreat, Councilmembers asked staff to investigate the City’s regulatory obligations, if any, to operate and maintain a street sweeping program.

S
taff reached out to the environmental and public health engineering firm EOA, Inc. (EOA), based in Oakland, California. This firm works with San Mateo County to support management of the Stormwater Municipal Regional Permit (MRP) program as well as providing technical assistance to area cities including San Bruno. EOA, Inc. is an experienced engineering firm and familiar with the State Water Board’s MRP requirements.

EXEC

UTIVE SUMMARY
I
n response to inquiries from the City Council, City staff, with assistance from EOA, investigated the regulatory requirements and implications of maintaining a street sweeping program. Street sweeping is a stormwater Best Management Practice (BMP), and is a critical action item to meet the MRP’s trash load and pollutant reduction requirements.

Unlike other measures and physical devices, street sweeping is the only BMP that captures 100% of trash, PCB's (polychlorinated biphenyls), sediments, and other contaminants.

The discontinuation or reduction in street sweeping could lead to non-compliance with these MRP provisions by allowing trash levels to exceed acceptable thresholds, thereby impacting the city's environmental management efforts and non-compliance with the MRP. Further detailed analysis is needed to determine when the level of non-compliance is activated.

T
he investigation underscored that although no state or county laws specifically mandate street sweeping, it is a vital BMP for stormwater management and is instrumental in helping San Bruno meet its MRP trash reduction targets. The City's progress towards these targets, supported by street sweeping and other measures such as the installation of full trash capture devices, is notable. However, any potential changes to the street sweeping 160 of 196
ATTACHMENT 2
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
RE: Staff Response - Street Sweeping Regulatory Obligations

program would require a detailed study to understand the impacts on compliance and the operational efficacy of existing pollution control measures. EOA’s analysis suggests that street sweeping not only contributes to maintaining low trash levels but also aids in the broader objectives of environmental quality and compliance with regulatory requirements.

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS AND MRP COMPLIANCE SUMMARY

Below are EOA’s responses inquiries regarding the topic and an overview of San Bruno’s current MRP trash reduction compliance efforts.

1. State/County Requirements and Regulatory Impacts of Potentially Eliminating Street Sweeping Operations

Question for EOA, Inc.:

Are there any State Water Board or County MRP laws, etc. that require agencies to maintain and operate a Street sweeping program? And what impacts, if any, would a termination of a street sweeping program have on the City’s MRP compliance?

EOA, Inc. Response (edited for clarity):

National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) stormwater regional permits, administered and overseen by the California Water Resources Control Board, and locally coordinated by San Mateo County, historically included performance standards for street sweeping. Until the adoption of MRP 1.0 in 2009, street sweeping was a mandated Best Management Practice (BMP) that each Permittee needed to implement. The level of implementation was described in the Permittee’s Urban Run-off/Stormwater Management Plan. Unlike the county-based NDPES permits that preceded the regional permits, MRP’s 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 do not explicitly require street sweeping (note: State permit guidelines are updated every five (5) years). To EOA’s knowledge, there are no other County, State, or Federal requirements to maintain/operate a street sweeping program.

San Bruno staff reviewed the California Streets and Highways Code, and it includes provisions related to street sweeping as part of its broader regulations on the maintenance and operation of public streets and highways. These requirements are typically aimed at ensuring the cleanliness, safety, and proper maintenance of public roadways. Further legal research will be needed to understand what can be required of homeowners for street sweeping.

Below is an excerpt from California Streets and Highway Code, Section 5610:

The owners of lots or portions of lots fronting on any portion of a public street or place when that street or place is improved or if and when the area between the property line of the adjacent property and the street line is maintained as a park or parking strip, shall maintain any sidewalk in such condition that the sidewalk will not endanger persons or property and maintain it in a condition which will not interfere with the public convenience in the use of those works or areas save and except as to those conditions created

161 of 196

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
RE: Staff Response - Street Sweeping Regulatory Obligations

or maintained in, upon, along, or in connection with such sidewalk by any person other than the owner, under and by virtue of any permit or right granted to him by law or by the city authorities in charge thereof, and such persons shall be under a like duty in relation thereto.

The specifics of street sweeping requirements, such as frequency, procedures, and enforcement, may vary depending on the local jurisdiction within California. Local governments often have the authority to establish their own street sweeping schedules, parking restrictions during sweeping times, and related regulations to facilitate effective street cleaning operations, however there is nothing in the City’s Municipal Code in relation to street sweeping as a requirement.

That said, street sweeping is a stormwater BMP that can help comply with pollutant- specific requirements in the MRP. For example, street sweeping can help cities/counties address trash load reduction requirements included in provision MRP Section C.10 (Trash Load Reduction). In particular, street sweeping may contribute to keeping trash on streets at a manageable/mandated level (i.e., low trash generating). Conceptually, if street sweeping at the current frequency was helping an area stay below the low trash generation level, but then relaxed or eliminated, we may see this increase to a point that is beyond the MRP-required level of “low”. Should this scenario occur, the City would not be in compliance with the MRP trash load reduction provisions.

Previous studies that EOA has conducted in San Jose, Fremont, and Oakland do show that the level of trash generation can change over the course of a street sweeping cycle. Trash levels on streets get progressively worse after a sweeping event until the next one, then return back to the original level. So, conceptually (of course site-specific conditions can have an effect) trash levels on streets will worsen as a City relaxes its street sweeping program. The level to which it worsens is a bit unknown. EOA, and San Mateo County, won’t really know if trash generation gets worse than “low” until EOA staff observe it via individual On-land Visual Assessments, which are also mandated by the MRP. See Attachments 2 and 3 for snapshots and of San Bruno’s last electronically submitted On-Land Visual Assessment.

There are other places in the MRP that street sweeping can assist with compliance (e.g., load reductions associated with polychlorinated biphenyl (PCBs) pollution source property referrals), but those are less directly focused on street sweeping then the C.10 (Trash Load Reduction) provision.

2. State Penalties for not Operating a Street Sweeping Program

Question for EOA, Inc.:

Are there any practical consequences from the Water Resources Control Board if San Bruno does not operate a street sweeping program?

162 of 196

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
RE: Staff Response - Street Sweeping Regulatory Obligations

EOA, Inc. Response (edited for clarity):

The answer is maybe. EOA staff recognizes this answer is not very satisfying, but it is about as good as EOA can predict without doing a full-blown study. Reference Item 3 below for further explanation.

Goals for a possible MRP compliance impact study:

If directed to undertake this kind of study staff would need City Council direction on the City’s street sweeping and trash reduction goals. For example, should the study consider a complete program elimination or some modified program (e.g., a reduced overall frequency or a complete elimination from only certain neighborhoods). Related issues that might be considered later on by the City Council, include: 1) status of No Parking/Street Sweeping Schedule signs, fines, and enforcement practices, and 2) acceptable neighborhood trash accumulation levels.

3. San Bruno’s Status for Meeting the MRP’s 100% Trash Reduction Target

Here is a breakdown provided by EOA, Inc. of the progress San Bruno has made as of last June 2023 towards the MRP’s 100% trash load reduction target, meaning preventing 100% of trash from reaching the San Francisco Bay. This metric must be met by June 30, 2025. See Attachment 1, “Trash Generation Map” for reference.

• There are 2,768 acres in the City subject to the MRP trash load reduction requirements. Based on San Bruno’s street sweeping schedule, sweeping happens twice a month for all residential streets, and everyday for downtown streets. (See Attachments 1-2 for the Street Sweeping Route Map along with an Alphabetical List of Streets with their cleaning schedule.) This is also located on the City’s website: https://www.sanbruno.ca.gov/381/Street-Sweeping-Schedule.)

• 651 of those 2,768 acres are significant trash generating areas as identified on San Bruno’s Baseline (2012) MRP Compliance Tracking Map. Consistent with the MRP, there is too much trash generation on these areas and it must be reduced by either Full Trash Capture (FTC) devices or through other measures that result in an On-land Visual Trash Assessment (OVTA) score of “A – Low Trash Generation”. Current street sweeping in these 651 acres areas probably helps reduce the trash in these areas, but they are still not achieving the goal, as of 2012 (baseline).

• The remaining 2,113 acres (vast majority Single-Family Residential areas) were low trash generating in 2014 and are assumed to be low trash generating today, meeting the MRP goal (i.e., need no new actions in these areas are needed).

These areas are also currently swept 2 to 4 times per month and this level of sweeping likely helps keep trash off the streets and these areas at a low level. If street sweeping were reduced in these areas, trash levels could increase and

they would be considered significant trash generating, therefore needing additional controls (e.g., full trash capture). For context, most cities sweep their Single-Family Residential (SFR) areas 1 time per month, not 2 to 4 times per month. One could reasonably assume that relaxing street sweeping in SFR areas that do not generate much (if any) trash, would not significantly affect trash generation and likely wouldn’t put the City into compliance jeopardy in these areas.

• Of the 651 acres of area generating significant levels of trash in the City in 2012 (baseline), 550 acres (84%) has been addressed by installing full trash capture (FTC) devices. From an MRP trash load reduction compliance standpoint, these areas are fully addressed. Current street sweeping likely helps reduce the maintenance of these devices, so reducing street sweeping in these areas may have a negative impact on O&M and require more resources to maintain these devices, consistent with MRP requirements.

• The remaining 101 acres of significant trash generating areas are assessed by On-land Visual Assessments, and current trash levels are documented in the City’s MRP Annual Report. San Mateo County (via EOA, Inc. staff) currently assess trash levels at 17 sites within these 101 acres. About 1/3 of those acres are performing at a “A-low trash generating area”. The remaining acres are not achieving the MRP goal. If San Bruno were to eliminate street sweeping in these areas, it is highly likely that the areas performing well would no longer achieve the MRP goal and the other areas would more that much further away from the goal.

In short, if San Bruno wanted to evaluate the impacts of reducing or eliminating street sweeping in the City, a more thorough study would be needed. All areas are not created equal in San Bruno, from a trash generation standpoint, and some areas would likely be affected more than others, increasing compliance risk. In EOA’s opinion, eliminating street sweeping would definitely have an adverse impact on both the Operating and Maintenance (O&M) of full-trash capture (FTC) devices installed and maintained by the City AND could pose an increased compliance risk to the City in some areas because trash levels on streets would increase above the MRP goal of low trash generation.

CONCLUSION

To summarize, there is no State or County law, etc. that requires agencies to operate and maintain a street sweeping program. Operating a street sweeping program is a Stormwater Best Management practice but contributes to compliance on other requirements from the MRP. And while having aesthetic and safety aspects, street sweeping has practical impacts on the water quality and trash amounts that reach San Francisco Bay. Companion efforts to reach the 100% MRP trash reduction targets have included installing approximately 372 trash capture devices between 2013-23 at City storm drain inlets to screen out and prevent debris larger than a cigarette butt from continuing on to the San Francisco Bay. Debris

accumulated in the trash capture device is regularly collected by City staff and sent on to Recology for disposal.

The City has a June 30, 2025 MRP requirement to prevent 100% of trash from entering San Francisco Bay. For the FY2022-23 MRP Annual Report, San Bruno reported meeting the Water Board’s 90% trash load reduction compliance benchmark. Street sweeping operations are part of the scoring criteria that San Mateo County uses to assess the City’s compliance with this 100% reduction target. (It should be noted that the State periodically revises the standards to achieve 100% compliance.)

The effects to the City’s MRP compliance status and/or State consequences, if any, would require a further long-term study from a consulting firm, such as EOA, Inc., and could vary greatly depending on the specific changes to the existing street sweeping program.

FY 22-23 Annual Report C.10 – Trash Load Reduction
Permittee Name: City of San Bruno
FY 22-23 AR Form 10-1 September 2023
Section 10 – Provision C.10 Trash Load Reduction
1 See Appendix 10-1 for changes between 2009 and FY 22-23 in trash generation by TMA as a result of Full Capture Systems and Other Measures. 2 To claim a load percentage reduction value, Permittees must provide substantive and credible evidence that new source control actions are being implemented jurisdiction-wide and reduce trash by the claimed value. Permittees may no longer claim source control actions implemented under previous Permits (i.e., foam foodware and single-use plastic bags).

C.10.a.i ► Trash Load Reduction Summary
For population-based Permittees, provide the overall trash reduction percentage achieved to-date within the jurisdictional area of your municipality that generates problematic trash levels (i.e., Very High, High, or Moderate trash generation). Base the reduction percentage on the information presented in C.10.b i-v and C.10.f.i-ii. Provide a discussion of the calculation used to produce the reduction percentage Trash Load Reductions
Percent Trash Reduction in All Trash Management Areas (TMAs) due to Full Trash Capture Systems (as reported C.10.b.i) 85.5% Percent Trash Reduction in all TMAs due to Control Measures Other than Full Trash Capture Systems (as reported in C.10.b.iii)1 8.5% Percent Trash Reduction due to Jurisdictional-wide Source Control Actions2 (as reported in C.10.b.v) 0% Subtotal for Above Actions 94.0%
Trash Offsets (Optional)

The City attained and reported in its FY 21-22 Annual Report a 95% trash load reduction (including trash reduction credits and offsets allowable under MRP 2.0). During FY 22-23, the City continued to implement a robust trash control measure program (e.g., full trash capture devices). These actions helped the City maintain its trash load reduction at the mandatory 90% trash load reduction requirement included in the MRP. The total (jurisdiction-wide) percent trash load reduction in FY 22-23 is 97.9% (including trash offsets but excluding trash reduction credits for source controls that no longer creditable under MRP 3.0).

3 The City’s 2009 baseline trash generation map was reevaluated in FY 22-23 to ensure that jurisdictional areas were assigned the appropriate trash generation category when the original baseline map was created. Additionally, the areas treated by existing trash full capture systems were also evaluated and refined based on more accurate information on drainage patterns and the configuration of the City’s MS4. Based on these analyses, some drainage boundaries for trash full capture systems were refined. The refined drainage boundaries are reported in this table and in Appendix 10-1.

FY 22-23 AR Form 10-3 September 2023
C.10.a.ii(b) ►Trash Generation Area Management - Private Lands Provide a summary of implementation actions and progress towards meeting the July 1, 2025 requirement for all private lands that are moderate, high, or very high trash generating, and that drain to storm drain inlets that Permittees do not own or operate (private), but that are plumbed to Permittees’ storm drain systems. Include any trash control measures implemented or caused to be implemented, including full trash capture systems and/or trash discharge control actions equivalent to or better than full trash capture systems.

Summary of Implementation Actions and Progress:

As described in MRP 3.0 Provision C.10.a.ii(b), private properties that 1) generate moderate, high, or very high level of trash, 2) are plumbed to the City’s MS4, and 3) are not already addressed by a Full Trash Capture (FTC) system are required to be equipped with a FTC system or be managed by trash control measures equivalent to or better than a FTC system by July 1, 2025. To address trash contributions from these properties, which are referred to as Private Land Drainage Areas (PLDAs), the City has begun the implementation of a PLDA Trash Inspection Program (TIP). Through the TIP, inspections are performed on PLDAs and if the level of trash observed on the property via OVTAs is greater than low trash generation, property owners and/or managers are required to implement additional trash control measures and achieve low trash generation. Trash control measures may include FTC systems or other types of trash control actions. The goal of the TIP is to address trash from all PLDAs in the City by July 1, 2025.

A total of 15 potential PLDAs have been identified in the City to date and inspections will begin on these PLDAs in FY 2023-24. These 15 potential PLDAs include those that are >10,000 ft

2. The City plans to identify the remaining PLDAs that are less than 10,000 ft2 and begin inspections on PLDAs in FY 2023-24. The City is prioritizing inspections at PLDAs that are believed to generate the greatest levels of trash.

No trash load reduction is being reported in FY 2022-23 associated with PLDAs inspections.

Small full-capture devices are maintained by using a
combination sewer truck (i.e. Vactor truck) to pressure wash and vacuum all debris from the catch basin and connector pipe screen. In some instances, the catch basins are
shoveled and swept. A Trash Capture Device Order is filled out for every maintenance event and is logged. Paper
copies of the Maintenance Reports are also kept at the
Public Works Department. FY 2022-2023, 41 devices were found to be plugged/blinded or over 50% full on the
cleaning events throughout the year the major cause for the 50% full was due to organic material (leaves). Cleaning events are occurring every 3 to4 months even during non- rain event periods. 6 had minor damage and were

TMA Summary of Trash Control Actions Other than Full Capture Systems

1 STREET SWEEPING
• Installed “No Parking-Street Sweeping” signs to prohibit parking during sweeping hours. All streets within TMA #1 are posted except for San Mateo Avenue. “No Parking-Street Sweeping” signs along Layne Place, Maryland Place and Hensley Avenue (between Sylvan Avenue and West Angus Avenue) are not posted because access is limited due to narrow alleys between buildings.
• The City developed the street sweeping program to minimize inconvenience to residents by sweeping within an established two-hour window and limiting sweeping to one side of the street on the scheduled day. As a result, residents may park on the opposite side of the street that is not swept that day. All streets with TMA #1 except San Mateo Avenue, Jenevein Avenue (between El Camino Real and San Mateo Avenue) and Sylvan Avenue (between San Mateo Avenue and Mastick Avenue) are swept twice/month (1st and 3rd Monday on one side of the street and 1st and 3rd Tuesday). On scheduled sweeping days where signs are present, the sweeper is preceded by a City Community Service Officer who issues citations to vehicles in violation of the posted signs. As a result, cars are consistently not present when sweeping is conducted. Therefore, sweeping practices are effective since the sweeper is reaching the curb.
• San Mateo Avenue, Jenevein Avenue (between El Camino Real and San Mateo Avenue) and Sylvan Avenue (between San Mateo Avenue and Mastick Avenue) are swept five days/week (Monday-Friday) between 6:00 a.m. and 10 a.m. using a Green Machine street sweeper. These streets are not posted “No Parking-Street Sweeping”.

However, cars are consistently not present when sweeping is conducted since the vast majority of retail and commercial businesses within the downtown area are closed. Therefore, sweeping practices are effective since the sweeper is reaching the curb. Due to the very frequent sweeping of San Mateo Avenue, very minimal trash is present on streets during the week (Monday- Friday).
• Prior to sweeping San Mateo Avenue, City staff blows trash from the sidewalk into the street or picks up the trash along the stretch five days/week (Monday-Friday). As a result, the sweeper is removing additional trash that otherwise would stay on the sidewalk. This practice has been effective in reducing trash loads on San Mateo Avenue resulting in very minimal trash present on sidewalks during the week (Monday-Friday). • All City-owned parking lots within TMA #1 are swept twice/week between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 10 a.m.

ON-LAND CLEANUPS
The City’s Public Works Department performs on-land cleanup of the San Mateo Avenue corridor and City-owned parking lots five days/week (Monday/Friday) between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 10 a.m. On-land cleanup activities include City staff blowing trash from the sidewalk into the street or picks up the trash along San Mateo Avenue and trash from San Mateo Avenue and City-owned parking lots. On-land cleanups have been effective in reducing trash loads and improving overall

FY 22-23 AR Form 10-6 September 2023

aesthetics on San Mateo Avenue and City-owned parking lots resulting in very minimal trash present within these areas during the work week (Monday-Friday).

Addition clean up actions not included in Long Term Plan: At the beginning of 2015 the 500 block of San Mateo Ave was impacted with cars due to an increase in gym membership at one location and the opening of another facility on that block.

This effected the early morning cleaning of the downtown area, prohibiting the green machine sweeper from effectively sweeping along this area and to the curb. Cleaning of this area had to be modified to keep area clean. The 500 block is swept Monday thru Friday, but due to parked cars about half the area the curb is missed. On Thursday the all of the curb area is cleaned with the vacuum unit on the green machine in addition to cleaning the drain inlets.

Partial Capture Devices
• FY18-19 ARS units were installed along with the CPS units in the downtown area which have a curb face open large enough for the ARS units.

3 In February 2013, the City increased their street sweeping frequency in retail, commercial and industrial areas within TMA #3 from twice/month to once/week. Street sweeping frequency was adjusted to maximize effectiveness. To address areas with heavy leaf drop, the City has increased sweeping to once/week during the wet season on the following streets or areas:
• San Bruno Avenue between El Camino Real and Huntington Avenue. The street sweeper is reaching the curb since San Bruno Avenue is a major through fare with no parking.

Euclid Area (800-900 blocks of Huntington, Mills, Masson, Easton, Green and Hensley Avenues, Euclid Avenue and Forest Lane. Approximately 4.09 curb miles. The street sweeper is reaching the curb since this entire areas is posted with “No Parking-Street Sweeping” signs.

Partial Capture Devices
FY18-19 ARS units were installed along with the CPS units in the area which have a curb face open large enough for the ARS units.

4 In February 2013, the City increased their street sweeping frequency of the outside and median curbs of El Camino Real from twice/month to once/week. Currently, the outside curbs are swept on Mondays and the median curbs are swept on Fridays. Street sweeping frequency was adjusted to maximize effectiveness.

5 In February 2013, the City increased their street sweeping frequency in retail, commercial and industrial areas within TMA #5 from twice/month to once/week. Street sweeping frequency was adjusted to maximize effectiveness. To address with heavy leaf drop, the City has increased sweeping to once/week during the wet season on the following streets or areas:
• Bayhill Commercial Area (Bayhill Drive between El Camino Real and Cherry Avenue, Elm Avenue from San Bruno Avenue to Grundy Lane, Traeger Avenue from San Bruno Avenue to Bayhill Drive. Approximately 1.61 curb miles. The street sweeper is reaching the curb since these streets are red-curbed, too narrow for parking or an active lane of traffic where you cannot park.
• San Bruno Avenue between El Camino Real and Interstate 280. Approximately 0.95 curb miles. The street sweeper is reaching the curb since San Bruno Avenue is a major through fare with no parking.

Updated the “Street Sweeping” webpage on the City’s website. This webpage provides the street sweeping frequency

by residential area within the City. Residents may view a list of streets within a residential area to determine when their street is swept. The webpage is available at:
https://www.sanbruno.ca.gov/gov/city_departments/public_works/streets_n_stormwater/street_sweeping_schedule.htm .

6 Implementation of No Parking sign was completed in TMA #6 in April 2014 Installation of “No Parking-Street Sweeping” signs on Shelter Creek Lane to prohibit parking during sweeping hours. On scheduled sweeping days where signs are present, the sweeper is preceded by a City Community Service Officer who issues citations to vehicles in violation of the posted signs.

7 No additional street sweeping was implemented near schools delineated as TMA#7 during this time period. In February 2013, the City implemented a delayed street sweeping start time in all residential areas which have not been installed with “No Parking- Street Sweeping” signs. City staff has noted that moving the residential sweeping times later in the day have resulted in better curb access since more people are at work later in the day. Sweeping practices are more effective since the sweeper is more likely to reaching the curb.

8 No additional street sweeping was implemented near parks delineated as TMA #8 during this time period. In February 2013, the City implemented a delayed street sweeping start time in all residential areas which have not been installed with “No Parking- Street Sweeping” signs. City staff has noted that moving the residential sweeping times later in the day have resulted in better curb access since more people are at work later in the day. Sweeping practices are more effective since the sweeper is more likely to reaching the curb.

9 No additional street sweeping was implemented in residential neighborhoods within TMA #9 during this time period. In February 2013, the City implemented a delayed street sweeping start time in all residential areas which have not been installed with “No Parking-Street Sweeping” signs. City staff has noted that moving the residential sweeping times later in the day have resulted in better curb access since more people are at work later in the day. Sweeping practices are more effective since the sweeper is more likely to reaching the curb.

All TMA’s
On-Land Clean Up: The City's Street/Storm Division has two employees for the “trash patrol” program five days/week (4 hours per day) throughout the City in all of the TMA areas during this time period. The dominant types of trash removed were large items, the smaller items (trash/litter) is collected and bagged to estimate its quantity, and the larger items are logged and counted separately. Additional City staff assisted with emergency cleanups. City staff quantifies the amounts collected by either putting trash in bags or 5 gallon buckets. The amounts are recorded on work orders or in debris removal log book.

2 Partial Capture Devices: In April 2011, West Coast Storm installed 46 Connector Pipe Screens within catch basins along with ARS units covering a minimum of 82.62 acres of the Belle Air Park neighborhood in the City of San Bruno. July 2013 United Storm Water installed an additional 9 CPS units along with ARS units. These devices are inspected and maintained prior to the “first flush” with additional inspection and maintenance conducted, as necessary after major storm events (may be up to four times/year).

All TMA’s Storm Drain Inlet Cleaning: Storm drains are inspected and cleaned on a yearly schedule. Maintenance logs of the condition and material removed are kept.

All TMA’s
Uncovered Loads: The City of San Bruno requires its current Municipal Trash Hauler, Recology to properly cover all open debris boxes during transportation to their disposal site, which can be found in 4.6, 4.4 of the Franchise Agreement the City of San Bruno maintains with Recology, furthermore, the Franchise Agreement states that Recology has the exclusive right, Franchise and

privilege to be the sole provider of trash and construction debris boxes to San Bruno residents while in an Agreement with the City of San Bruno.

All TMA’s
Anti-littering and illegal dumping enforcement activities: The City of San Bruno has adopted a basic anti-littering and illegal dumping enforcement program that entails receiving and responding to complaints from citizens as resources allow. Complaints are received by both telephone, and email via the City’s website reporting forum. Public Works staff investigates refuse collected from illegal dumpsites in an attempt to find names, addresses, etc. of offenders. Information collected by Public Works staff is then provided to the Code Enforcement division of the Community Development department, who issues the appropriate citation(s) as warranted to offenders.

All TMA’s
Improved Trash Bin/Container Management: The City of San Bruno has long required that every residential and commercial building address subscribe to regular garbage collection service, to reduce the possibility of litter arising from lack of trash collection. The City has worked and will continue to work with Recology (San Bruno’s trash collection provider) to identify businesses that do not subscribe to trash collection services by comparing Recology’s list of subscribers with San Bruno’s business license list. This becomes especially important in the downtown corridor along San Mateo Avenue, where some businesses try to use the public trash cans to dispose of their trash, instead of subscribing to their own service. Implementing this monitoring program has reduced trash levels in the public trash cans along San Mateo Avenue, making them less likely to spill over the litter.

All TMA’s Public Education and Outreach Programs: Refer to section C.7 for Information on the City of San Bruno’s Public Outreach Programs and Events during 2021-2022.

In FY 19-20, the City refined its Baseline Trash Generation Map based on new information on the levels of trash generated on private lands that drain to inlets located on those properties, but are connected to the City’s MS4. A total of 293 acres of land area was identified by the City in FY 17-18 as draining to inlets located on private lands and potentially generating low levels of trash. The project conducted to identify these areas was described in the City’s FY 17-18 Annual Report and was conducted to address MRP provision C.10.a.ii.b (Trash Generation Area Management - Identification of Private Drainages >10,000 ft2). Maps identifying the 293 acres of land area were submitted to the SF Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Water Board) in September 2018 with the City’s Annual Report.

In an effort to gain additional information of the baseline trash levels on these land areas, the City conducted On-land Visual Trash Assessments (OVTAs) in FY 19-20 on parcels that comprised the 293 acres. These parcels had not been assessed during All Applicable

the initial development of the City’s baseline map, so the OVTAs conducted in FY 19-20 were the first on these parcels.

Two field-based OVTAs using OVTA Protocol C – Area-based Survey (EOA 2018) were conducted for each parcel to confirm parcel accessibility, existence of an inlet, and low trash generation levels. Based on previous technical studies (BASMAA 2017), two assessments events with “A” OVTA scores are needed to identify a parcel as “low trash generating.” If the first assessment event yielded an OVTA score other than an “A”, the second assessment event was canceled. Two consultant staff trained in Protocol C conducted all OVTAs. To the extent possible, assessments were performed directly prior to reoccurring trash control measures on parcels in order to depict maximum trash generation levels.

Based on the results of the OVTAs, 293 of the 1,373 acres of original were reclassified as “low trash generation” on the City’s Baseline Trash Generation Map. The refined version of the City’s map can be downloaded at:
https://www.flowstobay.org/data-resources/maps/municipal-trash-generation-maps/ In FY 22-23, the City conducted a thorough evaluation of its baseline trash generation map, treatment areas for existing trash full capture systems, and identified which multi-beneficial (bioretention) treatment facilities installed in the City meet the trash full capture design standard, as described in the MRP. The City’s 2009 baseline trash generation map was reevaluated to ensure that jurisdictional areas draining to the City’s MS4 are included on the map and that these areas were assigned the appropriate trash generation category when the original baseline map was created. Based on the findings of this evaluation, the City’s baseline map was refined and now provides a much more accurate illustration of both its jurisdictional areas and the associated baseline level of trash that was generated on these areas in 2009. The areas treated by existing trash full capture systems were also evaluated and refined based on more accurate information on drainage patterns and the configuration of the City’s MS4. These refined treatment area boundaries provide a much more accurate illustration of the land areas draining to these full capture systems. Lastly, in FY 22-23 the City began to identify which existing multi-beneficial (bioretention) treatment facilities achieve the trash full capture design standard, as described in the MRP and the State Water Resources Control Board fact sheets on multi-beneficial full capture systems. A technical memorandum describing the analysis conducted by the Santa Clara Valley Urban Runoff Program (SCVURPPP) that supports the criteria used to identify the applicable bioretention facilities was included in their FY 21-22 Annual Report. The City’s Long-term Trash Load Reduction Plan was updated with these refined jurisdictional areas and full capture treatment drainage boundaries and refined baseline trash generation levels, which are included in Appendix 10-1 of this report.

El Zanjon creek flows through San Bruno City Park. It is referenced as Trash Hot Spot (SB001). City of San Bruno Park Division staff removed trash from the El Zanjon creek area at total of 344 days during FY 22-23. Based on information provided by Park staff, seven gallons of trash was removed from the creek on average per day. Based on this information, a total of 2,408 gallons (i.e., 344 days x 7 gallons) of trash was removed from the El Zanjon creek area during FY 22-23. The Park is fully opened and averaging 7 gallons a day.

Eastside of San Antonio Rd. (San Felipe to Santa Helena) the storm drains from this area go under Cal Train/ Bart into the wetland area and small unnamed creeks that flow to San Bruno Creek, which begins at Huntington and Cupid.

Cleanup targeting this area occurred on March 6, 2023. A total of 250 gallons was removed from this area in FY 22-23.

A total of 2,658 gallons (13.2 CY) of trash was removed from additional creek cleanups during FY 22-23.
