Urban Subwatershed Restoration Manual 9: Municipal Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping Practices

Municipal Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping Practices (September 2008) is Manual 9 in the Urban Subwatershed Restoration Manual (USRM) Series. Developed by the Center for Watershed Protection, the topic of the ninth manual focuses on
how municipal operations can directly support
subwatershed restoration efforts. The manual
contains a municipal operations analysis to help
local stormwater managers target the municipal
operations and activities that can improve water
quality. The 10 areas include municipal
hotspots, municipal construction, road
maintenance, street sweeping, storm drain
cleanouts, stormwater hotlines, landscaping and
park maintenance, residential stewardship,
stormwater maintenance, and employee training.
The manual presents guidance on how
municipalities can modify these 10 programs to
promote subwatershed restoration goals. It
presents a series of profile sheets that
recommends specific techniques to implement
effective municipal programs.
