Description: Every public works agency is responsible for facilities and activities that require special measures to prevent pollutant runoff into storm sewer systems and local waterways such as: equipment storage and maintenance yards, parking lots, landscape and park maintenance activities, salt storage and snow removal, fueling operations, etc.

Join us as we examine “Good Housekeeping” practices implemented by public works agencies to control runoff both at the source and through materials management. Topics will include: runoff control plans, operational practices for spill prevention control, employee training tools, and structural measures for storm drainage and floatable control.


This program has been approved for .2 CEUs or 2 PDHs. The form to request these credits is included in the handouts for this program. Please note there is a $5 fee per individual requesting CEUs.
