Filtering by Tag: storm drain marker
The City of Coral Gables is starting to use storm drain markers with QR codes!
The web app associated with the QR codes provides community members with information about stormwater pollution, and an easy way to upload a photo and details about what they're seeing in front of storm drains.
The data helps the city's Public Works department to quantify pollution prevention efforts and improve operations.
In the City of Hallandale Beach, community members are using QR codes on the storm drain markers to report how the SOP Technologies stormwater filters are keeping debris out of stormwater systems and local waterways. This is part of the SOP Technologies Community Stormwater Watch Program.
The community report below shows leaves (which contribute to nutrient pollution such as phosphorus and nitrogen) kept out of the drain by the stormwater filter. The city's Public Works Department collects the leaves on the road with their street sweeping maintenance.
The city's use of these technologies were first reported last month by Louis Aguirre from WPLG Local 10 News.
Stormwater Filters are a Stormwater Best Management Practice (BMP) recommended by the EPA for protecting waterways from stormwater runoff. The storm drain markers with QR codes also help cities with the NPDES requirements for Public Education and Outreach.
