1 <br />MUNICIPAL PRACTICES <br />Municipal pollution prevention <br />practices are public operation <br />and maintenance activities and <br />educational efforts implemented <br />by municipal staff that prevent <br />or reduce the contamination of <br />Salt delivery to a Washington County Salt Shed <br />KEY CONSIDERATIONS <br />Description: <br />Municipal pollution prevention practices prevent or reduce stormwater contamination fron) public sources <br />such as streets, parking areas, maintenance vehicles, storm and sanitary sewers, dumpsters, swimming <br />pools and other potential stormwater hotspots. These practices improve subwatershed water quality by <br />minimizing the introduction of pollutants including sediment, nutrients, metals, bacteria, trash, oil, and <br />toxins. Each of these practices is highly suitable and effective in cold climates. Table 12.PREV.3 indicates <br />the pollutants controlled by various municipal pollution prevention practices while Table 12.PREV.4 <br />describes some of the methods used for each of these practices. See Chapter ,13 for further discussion of <br />potential stormwater hotspots.
