Cleanup Data Card
- Protocol Description
- The survey should not take more than 20 minutes, and with practice it may take 15 minutes or less to complete. The team begins the survey at one end of the selected reach. One team member (the “streambank person”) begins walking along the bank (where possible), looking for any trash on the stream (or shore) bank, or above the high water line, and tallies any trash items found on the trash assessment sheet. The other person (the “streambed person”) walks along the stream bed, or in the water at shorelines, and shouts out any trash items found in the water body for the person on land to tally on the trash assessment sheet. The person tallying the trash notes on the sheet whether the trash was found in the stream and below the high water line, or above the high water line (i.e., tally lines for below high water line (|), and tally dots or circles (•) for above the high water line). This will help for assigning scores for the worksheet.
