The United States EPA has strict standards for acceptable levels of air quality and removal of pollutants that are less than 10 microns in diameter (PM10). Southern California's South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) and San Diego County's Air Pollution Control District (APCD) enforce dust particle emission standards in Southern California.
 Rule 1186 (PM10) is a requirement for all street sweepers operating in Southern California.
The US EPA also administers the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) to eliminate litter, and silt, sand and oil pollutants in storm water created by daily residential traffic and construction projects.
 Recent modifications by the EPA extend the NPDES Phase II mandate to include smaller communities and construction sites, and is enforced by local regulatory agencies.
Fines for failure to meet storm water discharge requirements can be up to $10,000 per day.
Any construction project within your community must have a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). Even though your local jurisdiction has a citywide SWPPP on file, as a homeowner association, contractor, or business owner, you're responsible to develop, submit, and implement an approved SWPPP any time you do construction. The SWPPP requires the observance of Best Management Practices, including the regular use of compliant street sweeping.
Cannon Pacific understands and supports Best Management Practice (BMP) as defined by EPA compliance. Call us for all your street sweeping. 1.760.943.9633
