Storm Water Management Program: Source Control Best Management Practices

See Best Management Practices for preventing release of pollutants into UC San Diego storm drains.

Purpose

Help implement the UC San Diego Storm Water Management Program by following Best Management Practices (BMPs) for campus and SIO outside work activities that may potentially release pollutants into UC San Diego storm drains.

Common pollutants addressed in the BMPs include:

• Oil and grease from roadways and parking lots
• Wash water from outdoor cleaning activities
• Pesticides and fertilizers from grounds maintenance
• Sediment from construction sites and erosion
• Discarded trash such as cigarette butts, paper wrappers, and plastic bottles
• Metals from roadway runoff (e.g., tires and brake pads) and aerial deposition
• Bacteria
