Stormwater Tip Sheet for Business Construction

When water from rain, snow, or sleet ows over the ground, it becomes “stormwater.” When stormwater ows through a construction site, it can pick up sediment, oil, and chemicals and carry them downstream to local water bodies. That’s why it’s important for construction sites to protect the community by putting up special fences, barriers, and truck pads to prevent pollution in our rivers, lakes, and streams.
