As a City of Chico and Butte County Clean Water Business Partner (CWBP), I pledge to meet the following Best Management Practice (BMP) standards to protect our local waterways from runoff pollution:
	
1.  Reduce the amount of pollutants and chemicals that enter the storm drain system
2.  Educate customers about how they can help to reduce runoff pollution.
3.  Dispose of waste water properly.
4.  Use non-toxic carpet cleaners whenever possible.

Tips on how to dispose of waste water to meet above listed BMP standards:
•	At a sanitary sewer treatment plant or other sanitary sewer inlet.
•	Into sinks, showers, bath tubs, toilets, and floor drains. (When discharging wastewater into the residential sewer systems, a mesh strainer should be used to prevent debris from clogging drains)
•	If sewer inlets are not readily available, with property owner permission, onto lawns or other landscaped areas as long as there is no run-off into a gutter or storm drain.

Clean Water Business Partners receive free advertising in an annual Cal Water insert mailer, and a listing online at www.keepchicoclean.org.  The Clean Water Business Partner logo, dated annually, will be provided to each CWBP for their business advertising/ promotional use.  Clean Water Business Partners are required to re-new their pledge annually.  

By signing this form you agree that the information you provide is true and correct, and that you are pledging to meet the above listed standards.
