EPA Pollution Prevention Checklist for Flood Control Projects

Such activities can change the ability of natural systems to filter pollutants from surface waters; alter the rates and paths of sediment erosion, transport, and deposition; increase the movement of pollutants from the upper reaches of watersheds into coastal waters; lower dissolved oxygen levels; increase salinity in marshes; reduce freshwater availability; and accelerate the delivery rate of pollutants to downstream sites. Pollution prevention techniques can reduce or eliminate some environmental effects. Use the app to incorporate pollution prevention into designing alternatives and avoiding and mitigating environmental effects. The app includes a detailed checklist specific to flood control projects. The Pollution Prevention Act (PPA), established a national policy mandating the incorporation of pollution prevention concepts and techniques into the operations and activities of the Federal Government. Pollution should be prevented or reduced at the source. The EPA Pollution Prevention Checklist for Flood Control Projects mobile app allows you to replace your paper prevention checklist with a handheld device. The mobile form includes fields to document items such as date of pollution prevention check, company, the person completing the check of flood control projects, title and captures a signature and records comments and corrective actions. Once the mobile app is filled out a secure PDF is generated. The PDF is easy to share, and a copy is stored in your account for your air quality control records. You
