As a City of Chico & 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 by posting information
3.  Before starting a job, determine plan for solid and liquid waste disposal
3.  Contain wastewater properly.
4.  Dispose of wastewater properly.
5.  Use a dry clean up method whenever possible.
6.  Maintain spill clean up kits in vehicles.

Tips on how to reduce the amount of pollutants that enter the storm drain system to meet above listed BMP standards:
•	Use mops, brooms or wire brushes to clean sidewalks, buildings, equipment, pavement, driveways and other impervious surfaces rather than hosing down.
•	Do not dispose of excess slurry or waste water to the storm drain system.
•	Confine cleaning of application and mixing equipment to a designated area where rinse water can be contained and filtered whenever possible. 
•	Divert slurry to a collection area or washout area.
•	Place signage next to concrete washout facilities to inform operators
•	Allow slurry to dry and dispose of properly
•	Reuse and recycle materials whenever possible including developing a slurry recovery system that vacuums slurry water and then filter. Properly dispose of solids and reuse water.
•	Vacuum-up cutting liquid and dispose of properly
•	Keep stock piles clear of drainage systems, covered and off the ground; cover and berm around piles prior to rain
•	See brochure for more tips and additional information.
