What can I do to reduce the amount of pollution my project creates?
Cover all outside storage containers, trash bin structures, fueling and maintenance areas and similar areas, and design them to ensure they prevent contact between potential pollutants and storm water. Hillsides should be landscaped to prevent erosion. Stenciling storm drains reduces illegal dumping and reminds everyone that whatever goes into the storm drain will flow untreated into waterways.
