DON'T FORGET THE
STORM(WATER)!
As you
consider bidding on projects in the City of Sumner, please remember
to address stormwater!
construction sites &
stormwater management
-
Implement your
erosion and sediment control BMP’s: reduce the chance of turbid
waters running off your construction site. Properly implement
erosion and sediment controls such as silt fences, storm ponds,
or check dams to avoid turbid discharge.
-
Monitor
“track-out” from construction sites: often dirt, mud and debris
from recently graded sites are tracked out onto city streets
where these materials get washed into the storm drains during
the next rain event.
-
Verify your
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan is accurate, up to date,
and addresses all stormwater compliance requirements. Often
minor changes should be made to address unforeseen Stormwater
Management issues.
NEW LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT TECHNOLOGIES:
-
Consider using
pervious paving instead of non-infiltrating materials to
increase ground water recharge and reduce runoff to local rivers
and streams.
-
Implement a rain
garden to reduce the toxins from roadways, or connect roof
downspouts to recharge the ground water levels and reduce
stormwater discharge to local rivers and streams.
-
Install a green
roof, instead of composite or normal roofing materials. Green
roofs provide several benefits, including reducing smog and
dust, alleviating urban heat and reducing cooling costs,
providing habitat for plants and animals, increasing roof life
expectancy, reducing noise, and the potential of increasing
property value.
