Many industrial facilities across the country have stormwater discharge permits that require compliance in the form of specific pollution prevention practices dealing with many common sources of pollution. In addition to the actual regulations, these facilities very often have older collection and conveyance systems that can complicate retrofit applications.

Stormwater Products Update:

As stormwater flows over driveways, lawns, and sidewalks, it picks up debris, chemicals, dirt, and other pollutants. Stormwater can flow into a storm sewer system or directly to a lake, stream, river, wetland, or coastal. water. Anything that enters a storm sewer system is discharged untreated into the waterbodies we use for swimming, fishing, and providing drinking water. Polluted runoff is the nation’s greatest threat to clean water. By practicing healthy household habits, homeowners can keep common pollutants like pesticides, pet waste, grass clippings, and automotive fluids off the ground and out of stormwater. Adopt these healthy household habits and help protect lakes, streams, rivers, wetlands, and coastal waters. Remember to share the habits with your neighbors! Healthy Household Habits for Clean Water Vehicle and Garage
• Use a commercial car wash or wash your car on a lawn or other unpaved surface to minimize
the amount of dirty, soapy water flowing into the storm drain and eventually into your local
waterbody.
• Check your car, boat, motorcycle, and other machinery
and equipment for leaks and spills. Make repairs as soon as
possible. Clean up spilled fluids with an absorbent material
like kitty litter or sand, and don’t rinse the spills into a
nearby storm drain. Remember to properly dispose of the
absorbent material.
• Recycle used oil and other automotive fluids at
participating service stations. Don’t dump these
chemicals down the storm drain or dispose of them in
your trash.
Lawn and Garden
• Use pesticides and fertilizers sparingly. When use is
necessary, use these chemicals in the recommended
amounts. Avoid application if the forecast calls for rain;
otherwise, chemicals will be washed into your local
stream.
• Select native plants and grasses that are drought- and pestresistant. Native plants require less water, fertilizer, and pesticides.
• Sweep up yard debris, rather than hosing down areas. Compost or recycle yard
waste when possible.
• Don’t overwater your lawn. Water during the cool times of the day, and don’t let water run off
into the storm drain.
• Cover piles of dirt and mulch being used in landscaping projects to prevent these pollutants
from blowing or washing off your yard and into local waterbodies. Vegetate bare spots in your
yard to prevent soil erosion.
Home Repair and Improvement
• Before beginning an outdoor project, locate the nearest storm drains
and protect them from debris and other materials.
• Sweep up and properly dispose of construction debris such
as concrete and mortar.
• Use hazardous substances like paints, solvents, and
cleaners in the smallest amounts possible, and
follow the directions on the label. Clean up spills
immediately, and dispose of the waste safely. Store
substances properly to avoid leaks and spills.
• Purchase and use nontoxic, biodegradable, recycled,
and recyclable products whenever possible.
• Clean paint brushes in a sink, not outdoors. Filter
and reuse paint thinner when using oil-based paints.
Properly dispose of excess paints through a household
hazardous waste collection program, or donate unused
paint to local organizations.
• Reduce the amount of paved area and increase the amount of
vegetated area in your yard. Use native plants in your landscaping
to reduce the need for watering during dry periods. Consider directing
downspouts away from paved surfaces onto lawns and other measures to increase
infiltration and reduce polluted runoff.
