General Category | Source | BMP/Activity |
---|---|---|
MS4 Infrastructure | Decaying plant matter, litter, and sediment in the storm drain system | Enhance street sweeping program |
Remove leaf litter and soil in street and gutters (e.g. implement an Adopt-a-storm drain program). Educate property owners on proper yard waste management | ||
Stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces | Implement source, rate, volume controls (i.e. adopt minimal impact design standards (MIDS) for new, redevelopment, and linear projects) | |
Minimize impervious surfaces | ||
Domestic pets | Dogs, cats, dog parks, walking trails, residential yard and sidewalk runoff (spring runoff after winter accumulation) | Install pet waste disposal stations along trails, in dog parks, etc |
Pass and enforce pet waste ordinances and educate pet owners about them | ||
Add infiltration BMPs downstream of parks/residential areas and upstream of stormwater pipes (i.e., somewhere between the park/residential area and the stormwater outfall to intercept and infiltrate some or all of the flow from these areas) |
