Here Are Tips For The Mobile Business Industry to Help Keep Our Waterways Clean:
Contain your work area by preventing water and potential pollutants from leaving your work site. Be aware of nearby storm drains to prevent any potential flow or discharge to the storm drain system.
Better manage your work area by organizing and containing equipment, tools, and supplies. Use dry cleaning methods first such as sweeping up debris with a broom, using a mop to clean hard surfaces, and using absorbent material to pick up hazardous spills.
Clean up your work area and properly dispose of contaminated water, pollutants, and debris. Use a broom, mop, or vacuum to capture any residue or pollutants that have the potential to be discharged.
Some common pollutants from the mobile business industry include:
- Contaminated water
- Cleaning chemicals
- Brake pad and tire dust
Runoff (stormwater and non-stormwater) from the mobile business industry can be a major source of these pollutants, and once released, these harmful pollutants can be transported to our San Luis Obispo creeks, lake, and the ocean.
