The journey of runoff & pollutants into storm drains

The pollutants end up in receiving

waters, many times the location isunbeknownst to the person thatspilled or dumped.

Washwater that originatedfrom a driveway drains intothe gutter.

It travels along the gutterinto the storm drain.

Bottom Line:

Only Rain in the Stormdrain! Prevent runoff from sprinklers Ensure mobile detailers &

powerwashers containwashwater

Sweep instead of hose Maintain car fix leaks Ensure construction materials

do not travel off site Never dump or pour anything

into streets or stormdrains Use non-toxic products & IPM
