Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) Trainings for Industries

The Baykeeper Team is offering a series of trainings for industries on how to manage stormwater. This program is called Stormwater University.  See a sample training presentation here.



Pollution Prevention Opportunities

Derelict nets, oil and gas sheens, plastic debris, and over-water maintenance activities are best found while out on the water. Boaters--paddle, power, or sail--are in the best position to discover and report pollution issues. Find out how you can identify pollution problems and what to do about them.

Policy Work

The Baykeeper is actively engaged in the development of policies and regulations affecting stormwater issues. These include commenting on the development of discharge permits and engaging in technical working groups that focus on the development of county based policies, such as critical areas ordinances focusing on livestock waste and construction practices.

Field Investigation and Enforcement

Between the hundreds of construction sites and industrial facilities in Whatcom and Skagit counties and the government agencies who rely almost entirely on quarterly reports submitted by the facilities, RE Sources’ Pollution Prevention Specialist closes the gap by visiting area industrial, construction, and agricultural sites and reporting concerns to the appropriate agencies.
