雨水管理
什么是雨水?
Stormwater is runoff from rain and melting snow. It is collected by the stormwater collection system on campus that conveys it directly into local waterways such as Paradise Creek or Hog Creek. Most of the university’s stormwater eventually discharges to the South Fork Palouse River.
为什么雨水很重要?
When stormwater flows over hard surfaces such as rooftops, streets and parking lots it picks up harmful pollutants such as oil, fertilizer and pet waste that are detrimental to aquatic life and human health.
Stormwater is not treated at the wastewater treatment plant.
It is discharged from the stormwater collection system untreated into local waterways and groundwater.
你能帮什么忙?
- Don’t dump anything down the storm drains
- 雨水渠只供雨水使用. The storm drains are not for mop water, used motor oil or even unwanted beverages. These fluids drain directly to the streams.
- 清理院子里的杂物
- Avoid sweeping or blowing grass clippings, leaves or dirt directly into streets or storm catch basins. While these can be beneficial in small amounts, too much can be harmful to bodies of fresh water and can block the stormwater system, 导致校园洪水泛滥.
- 捡起宠物
- 遛狗时捡起狗的尾巴. Fecal matter contains harmful bacteria which contaminates streams, spoils the outdoors for others and increases the resources needed to keep campus areas clean.
- 扔掉垃圾!
- Litter makes its way into our rivers through the stormwater system. 除了难看之外, trash can harbor bacteria biofilms that encourages the growth of harmful bacteria.
- 照顾好你的车
- 我们都喜欢我们的交通工具干净, but most car wash soap contributes to the phosphorus pollution we are seeing in our streams. Take your car to a local car wash that collects and cleans the wash water before discharging it.
- Oil leaks wash into the stream during the next storm. If you have a puddle underneath your parking spot, it’s time to take your car in for a repair. 你的车和鱼会感谢你的.

清洁水法
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act (commonly known as the 清洁水法) regulates discharges of pollutants into waters of the U.S. and regulates quality standard for surface waters and is the basis for the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The 清洁水法 prohibits anybody from discharging pollutants into a water of the U.S. 除非他们有NPDES许可证. The permit contains limits on what you can discharge, 监控和报告要求, and other provisions to ensure that the discharge does not hurt water quality or people's health. 在本质上, the permit translates general requirements of the 清洁水法 into specific provisions tailored to the operations of each person discharging pollutants.
