Did you know that day to day business activities can have a negative impact on local water quality? Dirt, metals, chemicals and trash can be discharged to local waterways with poor business practices. If spills are not properly contained and cleaned, they could result in an illicit discharge. Even washing your vehicles and equipment can result in discharges containing soaps, oils and fuels, which end up - untreated - in the storm sewer system and ultimately to your local waterway.
Implementing best management practices and good housekeeping methods ensures our water resources stay clean for years to come. Check out these resources for more information.
