Certified Surface Cleaners
Did you know that the dirt, debris, and wastewater from surface
cleaning can pollute local creeks and the Bay?
Local storm drains flow directly to the creeks and the Bay without
treatment! That's right. Unless contractors and facilities use certified
Best Mangement Practices to prevent contaminants from entering storm
drains, you could be polluting our environment. It's not only wrong,
it's illegal. Your facility can be fined $500.00 a day for each
incident.
The Bay Area Stormwater Management Agencies Association (BASMAA)
provides a searchable
database of certified surface cleaners. These businesses have
completed the BASMAA Pollution Prevention Training Program.
