What Are the Legal Environmental Discharges and Fines for Water Runoff in Eugene?
Eugene’s storm drains drain directly into the Willamette River without treatment. Discharging wash water containing oil, grease, detergents, or heavy metals violates the Clean Water Act. Violators face civil fines of up to $10,000 per occurrence. Commercial property owners must ensure that any hired washing service utilizes proper wastewater recovery.
How Do We Block Drains and Capture Wash Water During Commercial Jobs?
We manage runoff using professional stormwater recovery equipment:
- Drain Blocking: We block storm grates using heavy rubber mats and sandbags.
- Runoff Collection: We collect wastewater at low points using high-volume vacuum pumps.
- Sewer Disposal: Captured water is run through separators to filter oils and dirt, then disposed of legally through sanitary sewer lines.
Why Are Zinc Sulfate Roof Treatments Banned Near the Willamette Watershed?
Zinc sulfate powder is a heavy metal used to prevent moss. However, rainfall washes zinc runoff into storm drains and local streams, where it is highly toxic to trout and salmon. We use clean, biodegradable alternative treatments that protect the watershed.
