Pollution prevention and good housekeeping in the City’s day to day activities are critical components of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program, which requires  the City to implement best practices to reduce pollutant runoff from city activities. The City takes proactive steps to prevent pollution, focusing on day-to-day operations like street cleaning, storm drain maintenance, park landscaping, and waste management. By implementing these practices, the City can help protect local water bodies, improve community health, and comply with NPDES regulations for stormwater management.
