Stormwater Management
91¶ÌÊÓƵ is a Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) with a discharge permit that was issued by the Utah Division of Water Quality (DWQ) The permit requires a program with six Minimum Control Measures (MCMs), Best Management Practices (BMPs) for each MCM, and Measurable Goals for each BMP. The University’s Storm Water Management Program Plan describes the MCMs, BMPs, measurable goals, target dates, and our program rationale. 91¶ÌÊÓƵ’s was most recently updated in 2018.
Remember! Only rain down the drain:
-
Conduct vehicle maintenance in a proper place, not in a parking lot.
-
Clean up drips and leaks promptly.
-
Keep in mind- all oils, including edible oils, are an environmental hazard.
-
Store oil containers inside secondary containment. If you store several containers of oil, provide enough containment for at least one entire container.
-
Store containers out of the flow of traffic.
-
Tightly close containers when you are not using them.
-
Make everyone in the area aware of what is stored and how to respond.
-
Have a spill response kit available in the event of an accident.
