<strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> <strong>River</strong> <strong>WURMP</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> Appendix A-20<br />
HIGH PRIORITY WATER QUALITY PROBLEM(S) ADDRESSED<br />
• Bacteria<br />
CONSISTENCY WITH THE COLLECTIVE WATERSHED STRATEGY<br />
Both the City’s Strategic Plan for Watershed Activity Implementation and the Collective<br />
Watershed Strategy for the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> <strong>River</strong> WMA identify bacteria as a high priority<br />
water quality problem throughout the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> <strong>River</strong> WMA, and recommend<br />
implementing load reduction/source abatement activities to address it. Sponsorship of<br />
Coastal Cleanup Day will result in load reduction of trash and debris directly and of<br />
bacteria indirectly.<br />
EFFECTIVENESS ASSESSMENT<br />
Watershed: <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> <strong>River</strong><br />
SDCK COASTAL CLEANUP DAY SPONSORSHIP<br />
Assess the Efficiency and Effectiveness of Sponsoring SDKC’s Cleanup Efforts<br />
to Remove Litter from Public Areas and Waterways<br />
Management<br />
Questions<br />
• What is the load reduction associated with sponsorship?<br />
• What is the efficiency of trash cleanup? ($/person or $/pound collected)<br />
Targeted Measurable<br />
Outcome(s)<br />
Achieve load reduction due to reduction of trash due to trash cleanup<br />
sponsorship<br />
Assessment Method(s)<br />
• Tabulation (e.g., number of participants)<br />
• Quantification (e.g., pounds of trash collected)<br />
Pounds of trash removed (Outcome Level 4)<br />
4,280 lbs<br />
Pounds of trash recycled (Outcome Level 4)<br />
0 lbs<br />
Total pounds of trash removed (Outcome Level 4)<br />
4,280 lbs<br />
Number of participants (Outcome Level 1) 70<br />
Data Recorded<br />
Amount of money spent on cleanups for all six watersheds<br />
(Outcome Level 1)<br />
$30,000<br />
Estimated Amount of money spent on cleanups for the <strong>San</strong><br />
<strong>Diego</strong> <strong>River</strong> watershed management area (Outcome Level $5,000*<br />
1)<br />
Activity Efficiency (Total Cost/ Total Pounds of Trash<br />
Removed and Recycled)<br />
$1.17/lbs<br />
*Calculated by dividing total sponsorship cost by six watersheds.<br />
Objectives<br />
The goal of this assessment is to determine the effectiveness and efficiency of trash<br />
cleanup days for actively reducing pollutant load.<br />
Analysis and Results<br />
The event’s debris removal was tracked using data cards provided by the Ocean<br />
Conservancy; 70 participants removed 4,280 pounds of trash and debris. The average<br />
estimated sponsorship cost was $5,000 per watershed ($30,000/6 watersheds); thus,<br />
