In the City of
Monterey, storm drains flow directly to local creeks, estuaries and to
Monterey Bay without treatment. Storm water pollution is a serious problem for wildlife
dependent on our waterways and for the people who live near streams or the bay. Some
common sources of this pollution include spilled oil, fuel, fluids from vehicles and heavy
equipment, construction debris, landscaping runoff containing pesticides or weed killers,
and materials such as used motor oil, antifreeze, and paint products that people pour into
a street or storm drain.
