Do thingsthings to stop this pollution. These thingsthings are known as Best Management
Practices (BMPs)
![Page 9: The Foundation](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816811550346895ddd9f8d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
BMPsSchedules of activities, prohibitions of
practices, maintenance procedures, and other management practices to prevent or reduce the pollution of waters of the United
States. BMPs also include treatment requirements, operating procedures, and practices to control site runoff, spillage or
leaks, sludge or waste disposal, or drainage from raw material storage.

BMPs (cont.)
• Its not necessarily what BMPs you choose, but why you chose them.
![Page 11: The Foundation](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816811550346895ddd9f8d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Resources to Protect• Local stream• Wetlands• Fishing Spot• Drinking water supply• Groundwater• The community
– health, flooding
![Page 12: The Foundation](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816811550346895ddd9f8d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Protect it from what?• 303(d) listed for a specific pollutant• Pollutants of concern• Other known problems
– litter, eutrophication, sediment (erosion)• “Urban Slobber”
– from pet waste to brake lining to pesticides to everything we spill, spit, and drop on the ground

Existing Issues• Dumping areas• Localized flooding• Unsafe recreation areas• Unappealing recreation areas• Little open space

Community Characteristics
• Industrial• Suburban• High Growth• Languages• Cultures
What BMPs can you do to target these characteristics?

BMPs Required by the Permit
• Basic elements of a storm water program

BMPs (cont.)
• Suites of BMPs

Many communities are similar, look at what they are
doing

Coordinate• Departments
– Public Works– Water Resources– Planning– Parks– etc.
• Other Entities– City next door– County/City– County Health
Dept.– School

Look at what you are already doing
• Restaurant inspections• Household hazardous waste day• Handling complaints• Pollution Prevention Fair

Roadblocks• Try to anticipate them• Address them in your SWMP• Resolving them may be a task to
be completed

Evaluate and Assess Your SWMP
![Page 26: The Foundation](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816811550346895ddd9f8d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Is what you are doing working?
• Evaluation/Assessment Parameters• Use the information that you are
gathering to help tailor your program• Ex. If you continually have to clean
out a particular storm drains because of sediment, you should focus on construction activity in that drainage area
