Additional Storm Drain Info
The introduction of the "Clean Water Act" has redefined the standards for water pollution control and management across the nation-and has had a powerful impact on the Northwest in its call for greater control on construction, new development, increase environmental education, and the implementation of stronger ordinances and more comprehensive plans for storm water management among state and local municipalities. Over the next several years, the implementation of such ordinances for new and existing storm control will dictate that practices once limited to voluntary compliance will see increased enforcement by state, federal and local agencies. Bravo Environmental Services provides the tools to enable your organization to meet the provisions of Clean Water legislation, while you do your part to protect the quality of our Northwest water resources.
