BMP Name: Street Sweeping Program <br />Unique ID: 6 -06 <br />MCM: #6 — Pollution Prevention /Good Housekeeping For <br />Municipal Operations <br />61 of Little Cati <br />olo <br />CGrIr1UNPP/ PQIDE <br />1953 - 2CO3 <br />Description: <br />The City will continue a practice of street sweeping for vehicle safety, pedestrian safety, and water <br />quality and environmental reasons.
