作者：Jeff Burdick，加州運輸局（Caltrans） 加州運輸局全年致力于保持加州公路清潔，但很多人不知道，我們也一直努力保持州內水域的清潔。這是因為雨季首輪暴雨來臨時，公路和當地道路上的污染物越少，被直接沖入當地河流、湖泊和海洋的污染物就越少。 雨季初期的幾場強降雨就像一台巨大的高壓清洗機，會把街道和公路上積累了數月的垃圾、機油、有毒重金屬（如剎車粉塵中的重金屬）以及庭院廢弃物沖走。由于大多數雨水排放系統並不通往污水處理廠，這些攜帶有毒污染物的雨水會未經任何處理就直接流入當地水域和海洋，可能危害游泳者、沿河及沿海社區居民和海洋生物的健康。 今年是厄爾尼諾年，所以將有更多人為産生的污染物被直接從公路和當地道路沖入附近水域。好消息是，每個人都可以在降雨前採取以下簡單措施，以幫助减少雨水帶來的污染。 在公路上—— 在車內備一個小垃圾袋，用來收集日常出行或長途旅行中産生的垃圾。到了公路休息區或目的地再妥善丟棄。如果車輛發生故障，也請務必不要留下機油瓶、輪胎碎片或包裝材料，以免它們被雨水沖入附近的雨水排水口。 在社區裡——不亂扔垃圾。街道和人行道上的垃圾越少，被沖入居民區路邊排水溝和排水管道的垃圾就越少，最終排入河流和近海水域的垃圾也就越少。 做好車輛保養——妥善保養車輛可以降低發生故障的概率。此外，保持適當的胎壓並定期檢查是否漏油，也能減少被雨水沖入雨水排水口的有毒液體、重金屬和有毒剎車粉塵。 保護加州水環境，始於每個人都能做到的小事。在首場暴雨來臨前做好準備，就能幫助我們的街道、社區和水域在整個雨季保持清潔。 獲得更多預防雨水污染的小貼士，請訪問 CleanWaterCA.com。

By Jeff Burdick, Caltrans At Caltrans, we work year-round to keep California’s highways clean, but less known is we also work hard to keep state waterways clean.
