Re-Invent Your Street Sweeping
 Program with this Free Guide

Improve your street sweeping program and benefit your community.

Street_sweeping-07
Through our work with communities across the U.S., we have discovered that even subtle changes in street sweeping practices yield substantial benefits. By implementing data-driven strategies and incorporating the recommendations presented in this guide, you can:
  • Reduce localized flooding: By removing debris and preventing clogged stormwater systems, you can minimize the risk of flooding in your community.
  • Extend infrastructure lifespan: Regular street sweeping prevents sediments and debris from entering your stormwater infrastructure, ultimately extending their longevity and reducing maintenance costs.
  • Meet pollution reduction targets: Compliance with mandated pollution reduction targets, such as Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs), becomes more achievable by implementing effective street sweeping practices.

Consider Your Geography

Spoiler alert, we are huge fans of Esri ArcGIS, so rest assured, your GIS team should will love that you are considering recommendations from Esri's go-to stormwater partner.

Improving your street sweeping program requires a geographic approach prioritizing high-priority road networks. Understanding the varying levels of debris accumulation and associated risks to local flooding and water quality is crucial. Conducting a spatial analysis can provide valuable insights for identifying priority roads based on factors such as:

  • Land use: Assess the types of areas (residential, commercial, industrial) contributing to debris accumulation and pollution.

  • Car density: Identify areas with a high concentration of parked cars, as they accumulate oil, grease, and hydrophobic pollutants.

  • Impervious coverage: Consider the presence of significant impervious surfaces, which affect runoff patterns and pollutant transport.

The guide offers insights into evaluating and considering those and other factors. If that sounds too complicated, you can just check out how our software (2NFORM) streamlines that entire process and gives you the necessary answers and insights.

Optimize Your Efforts

Catchment prioritization maps derived from GIS-based analysis will guide you in identifying high-priority road networks likely to accumulate debris faster. By embracing a geographic approach and leveraging spatial analysis, you can optimize the allocation of your resources and improve the overall effectiveness of your street sweeping program. Our guide will equip you with the necessary insights and strategies to keep your roadways clean, meet regulatory requirements, extend infrastructure lifespan, and gain recognition for pollution reduction endeavors. 

Prefer to Chat?

We are happy to chat with you! The intense rain storms across much of the U.S. will wash those pollutants and debris right where you don’t want them to go. Let’s find time to chat before it rains again. Tell us more about your community and current program, and we’ll happily share what we’ve learned. No obligation.
