Stormwater Program

Contaminated stormwater runoff is the leading cause of pollution in Puget Sound. Pollutants from cars, accidental spills, lawn care products and other sources accumulate on unpaved surfaces such as parking lots and city streets. During rain events these contaminants are conveyed into storm drains that flow untreated into our local rivers, lakes, and Puget Sound. ECOSS provides staff training, educational materials, permitting assistance, and spill response equipment to help businesses reduce their impact on our local waterways.
