Storm Water Education for LFP Businesses

Lake Forest Park recognizes that businesses are instrumental in improving water quality in our streams and Lake Washington. Through a grant from King County Local Hazardous Waste Management Program the City hired the non-profit ECOSS to inform local businesses of their impact. During a three month period this fall ECOSS visited 20 Lake Forest Park businesses, observing their operation, and provided training and spill response kits specific to their business. Overall, businesses were pleased with the program and interested in improving stormwater quality.

Thanks to a grant from King County Local Hazardous Waste Management Program, twenty local businesses were educated on what to do in case of a spill. Businesses were also provided with spill kits. The purpose of the project is to prevent chemicals from getting into the storm water and eventually streams and lakes.
