Washington State Department of Ecology MS4 Annual Repot for University of Washington Seattle stormwater permit number WAR044700.
Stormwater drains on the UW campuses empty directly into local waterways, which can carry pollution that harms wildlife, such as birds and fish. Campus activities can put the surrounding natural areas at risk when garbage, oils, chemicals and other potentially harmful substances are allowed to flow into stormwater drains.
Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S) and UW Facilities (UWF) have established a protocol for water quality verification and sampling in University buildings that were temporarily closed, had reduced occupancy, or otherwise experienced low water flow conditions.
The number one pollution threat to Puget Sound is stormwater runoff containing trash, chemicals and heavy metals.
All items that enter the the sewer system (e.g. poured down a drain or flushed down a toilet) must comply with local, state and federal wastewater rules, regulations, and standards. These rules are designed to protect local waterways and maintain the quality of biosolids at wastewater treatment plants.
