Know Where Your Drains Go
Garage drains and street drains often empty directly to our rivers. This means that everything that washes from your property ends up in the rivers and streams of our communities.

Protecting Water Quality1. Know the location and
discharge point of all drains on your property.
2. Accidents Happen. Have a spill response kit on site at all times.
3. Never allow any automotive fluids, cleaners, degreasers, paints, solvents, or other waste materials to enter a drain, or wash into the public space.

Preventing Pollution at the Source
• Clean all fluid spills, leaks, and drips immediately using absorbent materials.
• Use dry methods to clean your facility (broom, vacuum, and absorb). Never hose down your garage, or outdoor lot.
