Campus Clean-Up

EHS hosts an annual Campus Clean-Up Day to provide education of environmental concerns relating to aquatic trash and to remove refuse and recyclables from the area surrounding the Black Warrior River as an element of one of six minimum control measures of the Stormwater Management Plan. As part of a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for stormwater discharges from regulated small municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4), and the fulfillment of regulatory requirements by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM), EHS utilizes this event to fulfill this public involvement requirement, to educate students, faculty and staff, and to serve the surrounding Tuscaloosa community.
