Lamphere Schools - Stormwater Program
Stormwater
carries untreated water runoff directly into nearby creeks and rivers
and,by doing so, impacts our environment. Improper disposat of wastes,
such as oil, paint, fertilizer, and pesticides will pollute the
stormwater, destroy aquatic life, and affect our drinking water.
The
City of Madison Heights, The Lamphere Schools and Madison District
Public Schools are working together to promote stormwater awareness to
our employees and students and are committed to practicing sound
stormwater management practices to protect water quality.
We
are required by state and federal stromwater rules and regulations to
educate as well as perform best management practices at our facilities.
These practices include (to nmae jus a few): cleaning our catch basins,
streets, and parking lots to remove sediment and debris, properly
storing chemicals to prevent spills, utilizing earth-friendly
fertilizers and pesticides onour turf, and ensuring that any development
or redevelopment on our properties follows current state and federal
guidelines for stromwater retention.
The
Lamphere Schools is committed to the environment and to the observance
and adherence to all local, state and federal stormwater rules and
regulations.
