" We, the Parking Lot group, saw a lot of oil and grease. It is all coming from the cars and is leaking from the bottom. There is also a lot of TSS and pine needles. The pine needles are dropping from the trees right above the drain and is washing down the drain in the ocean. We have also realized that there are paint chips peeling off the curb of where there is red paint. "

The field drain is clean and has a little bit of sediment and 1 leaf. The track is near the drain and kids play there. There were no spills or discharges. To prevent dirt from going into the drain we could build a small wall by the track near the drain. "

In April 2017 construction will begin on three projects on EUSD school campuses funded by a DROPS grant from the state.  All aspects of the projects have been supervised by 5th and 6th grade SWPPP interns including topographic surveys, architectural and engineering plan review, plant selection, and contractor selection.

Lincoln Middle School's ZWPPP interns were awed to watch microbes gobble up contaminants at Oceanside's San Luis Rey Wastewater Treatment Plant.

ZWPPP is a program unique to Lincoln that focuses on zero waste + stormwater pollution prevention.

San Dieguito Academy interns toured San Elijo Water Reclamation Facility to see what happens to water that goes down the plumbing drains on their campus and then toured San Elijo Lagoon to see how runoff from their school campus flows directly to the lagoon.
