Abstract Long Description

Report number 5 of 5 related to stormwater.

Source controls are the most effective means of preventing stormwater pollution and protecting water quality. Source control best management practices (BMPs) keep pollutants from entering stormwater in the first place. Source control BMPs are aimed at preventing or minimizing pollutants through performing routine work in a way that eliminates, or greatly reduces, the likelihood of contaminants getting into stormwater.
