• Eliminate Illicit Connections to Storm Drains
• Perform Routine Maintenance for Drainage System
• Dispose of Fluids and Wastes Properly
• Proper Storage of Solid Wastes
• Spill Prevention and Cleanup
• Provide Oversight and Training for Staff

Please see pages 19-36 of the Source Control Manual for more information on each required practice.

In addition, those businesses that are located in the separated storm system must implement additional BMP’s based on their site activities.
