Painting and Coatings
Paint and sanding wastes are among the many common stormwater pollutants that can degrade water quality. Stormwater runoff from washing off paint brushes in the street or waterway have been found to contain high concentrations of toxins. When they wash into our recreational waters they can degrade water quality and kill aquatic life.
What can I do?

BMPs are
techniques or controls used to prevent or reduce the discharge of
pollutants, paint and sanding debris, into the stormwater conveyance
system also known as the storm drain system.
