When stormwater flows through parking lots, chemical storage areas, areas of outside industrial activity, waste management areas, material loading / unloading operations and similar areas, it can pick up debris such as: chemicals, fertilizers, fecal bacteria, pollutants and other hazardous materials. This now-contaminated stormwater can then flow untreated directly into nearby bodies of water used for swimming, drinking, recreation and farming.  Pollution spread by contaminated stormwater is a real problem and understanding your organization’s Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan is the purpose of this program.
