We partner with city and county organizations to provide pollution prevention assistance (PPA) to businesses and organizations in their community.
PPA specialists offer free, hands-on assistance specifically to businesses that qualify assmall quantity generators (SQGs). PPA specialists can help small businesses stay on top of regulatory changes, protect employee health, and stop pollution at its source.

How did the program begin?
In 2007, the Legislature directed us to establish the Local Source Control Partnership (now called Pollution Prevention Assistance), a small business technical assistance program designed to prevent pollution and improve the state’s water quality.
Each biennium, we enter into interagency agreements with local governments near critical waterways, such as the Puget Sound, Columbia River, Spokane River, and others. Participating jurisdictions then assign PPA specialists to assist small businesses in reducing pollution.
Read our biennium reports to see which jurisdictions participated, the types of businesses served, and the overall successes of the program:
