Recommendation IND 11 — Help minimize the release of toxics into stormwater.

Toxics in stormwater is one of the major sources of water pollution. We need an effective strategy to tackle this problem, including clear roles for the different programs in Ecology. As part of this effort, develop a coordinated strategy among the Hazardous Waste, Waste 2 Resources, and Water Quality programs in Ecology, defining roles and responsibilities for managing and minimizing toxics in stormwater.

Milestone IND L: An effective strategy exists which minimizes toxics in stormwater.  Ecology’s Hazardous Waste, Waste 2 Resources, and Water Quality programs coordinate efforts for managing toxic chemicals in stormwater.
