Stormwater Waste Management
Stormwater is the rain that falls on paved surfaces and flows as runoff which may contain pollutants to waterways. Small pollutants can add up to have a big impact on the water quality to these waterways. Therefore, the Port of Coos Bay is developing a Stormwater Waste Management Program to prevent, decrease and eradicate the effects of the polluted stormwater to the South Slough and the Coos Bay harbor.
