As a subset of commercial enterprises, mobile businesses have unique challenges related to stormwater and pollution prevention that will be better understood by a focused study. In this project, King County and Aspect Consulting will develop and test new tools and guidance to support municipal stormwater permittees in identifying and inspecting mobile businesses for compliance with the Phase I Municipal Stormwater Permit Section S5.C.8 for source control from exiting development.
Study objectives
- Survey permittees on how they identify and track mobile businesses.
- Coordinate across jurisdictions to crosswalk mobile businesses lists with likely pollutants.
- Identify effective source control methods for mobile businesses.
- Conduct a pilot source control effort at mobile businesses in south King County.
