Notes:
Stormwater hotspots are areas which produce higher concentrations of pollutants than normally found in urban runoff. Certain areas of the urban landscape are known to be hotspots of stormwater pollution. Examples include gas stations, parking lots, and auto recycling facilities. Generally, stormwater hotspots contribute 5 to 10 times higher concentrations of trace metals and hydrocarbons in stormwater runoff. These hotspots merit special management and pollution prevention activities.
