Stormwater Best Management Practices

Storm drains in Torrance flow directly to the Pacific Ocean, which means rainwater can carry pollutants from streets, homes, and businesses into local waterways. During storms, runoff may pick up trash, chemicals, oil, and other pollutants that contribute to stormwater pollution.

One of the best ways to protect water quality is to follow Best Management Practices (BMPs), which include proper handling, storage, and disposal of materials to prevent pollutants from entering the storm drain system. The following brochures provide information, tips, and resources to help you do your part to protect local waterways and the ocean.
