What is my job?
To eliminate and reduce pollutant discharges
going to storm drains.

How Does Pollution Occur?
When it rains or when an area is hosed down,
chemicals and eroded sediment enter the storm
drain inlet

and enter one of the local ponding basins
designed to recharge the groundwater aquifer

or the pollutants travel to detention basins
which discharge into local waterways such as the
San Joaquin River.
