A
surprising number of municipal operations can affect water quality and
quantity. These activities range from the storage and handling of
harmful chemicals to the maintenance of municipal properties, vehicles,
roads, and storm sewer systems. Activities such as integrated pest
management, water conservation, recycling, and education programs can
prove to be very effective in addressing these pollutant sources.
The Keep it Clean Partnership (KICP)
program contracted with the PACE Program to develop a certification program
for municipal operations within Boulder Councy. PACE developed stormwater
pollution prevention certification criteria in 2003. Criteria include implementation
of both structural and non-structural BMPs for various municipal operations.
The BMP library, below, addresses the identified potential pollution sources
within municipal operations.The municipal operations were then categorized
into two tiers, based on an operation's potential stormwater pollution threat.
In 2004, PACE conducted site visits of the first-tier operations, which
included vehicle, street and storm drainage maintenance and parks/golf courses.
A total of 55 municipal facilities were inspected. As part of the
site visit, PACE provided each operation with a Stormwater Pollution Prevention
binder containing the applicable BMPs, WASH/PACE criteria, a template spill
response plan, and a training log. PACE also trained over 168 municipal
employees on stormwater pollution prevention.
