MCM 4 : Pollution Prevention / Good Housekeeping ( PP / GH ) for Municipal Operations
I . Pollution Prevention / Good Housekeeping Program
The City of Arlington has been under continuous MS4 coverage since 1998 , therefore some of the components of this MCM such as reduction of pollutants from pesticide , herbicide , and fertilizer use , the maintenance of structural controls , and waste handling procedures were previously established prior to this new program element . For the remaining requirements ( employee training and discharge reduction from municipal facilities and operations ), staff has initiated facility inspections and begun employee training with the goal of preventing and / or reducing pollutant runoff .
