Public entities operating municipal separate
storm sewer systems (MS4s) must protect those
systems from pollution. That's because storm
drains carry pollutants like soap, grease, fuels,
chemicals, raw materials, fertilizers, pesticides,
and more directly to the nearest creek or stream,
unfiltered and untreated. Many people and -
businesses will discharge these waste products
onto roadways and parking lots, place containers
of liquid waste into dumpsters and bins, and even
pour leftover materials and wastewater directly
down storm drains. This poisons our drinking
water supply, kills our fish and plants, and it's
illegal. As public service employees operating
under a Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP)
it's our job to spot this pollution - at its source,
where it lets out, or where evidence of past
dumping remains and report it to a supervisor
immediately. Clean water starts with you and me!
