Why is there a hole in my coffee lid?

This is because air must get into the container to replace the liquid that's being poured out, and there's only one hole for liquid to exit and air to enter. Instead, drinking coffee through a plastic drink lid is a pleasant experience, because that tiny hole allows air to enter the container as the liquid leaves it.

What are coffee cup lids made of?

Plastic lid: Coffee cup lids are made of plastic #6, also known as polystyrene and known to leach styrene, the newest member on the US List of Carcinogens. A better alternative is using a silicone or BPA-free lid that can be used repeatedly.

Jeff Daniel, Agent, Ocean Shores, WA. Sat Dec 7, 2013. It means that the one-time tax assessment (i.e Road LID - Local Improvement District) has been paid in full. The roads in Ocean Shores used to be terrible! That's why the City Council in 2007 decided to redo all the roads.

2

What is a low impact development?

Low-impact development (LID) is a term used in Canada and the United States to describe a land planning and engineering design approach to manage stormwater runoff as part of green infrastructure. LID emphasizes conservation and use of on-site natural features to protect water quality.

3

What is a local improvement district?

A Local Improvement District (LID) is a method by which a group of property owners can share in the cost of infrastructure improvements, most commonly for transportation and stormwater. This involves improving the street, building sidewalks, and installing a stormwater management system.

4

What is a Bioretention area?

A bioretention cell, also called a rain garden, in the United States. It is designed to treat polluted stormwater runoff from an adjacent parking lot. Plants are in winter dormancy.

5

What does low impact development mean?

The term low impact development (LID) refers to systems and practices that use or mimic natural processes that result in the infiltration, evapotranspiration or use of stormwater in order to protect water quality and associated aquatic habitat.

6

What is urban runoff pollution?

Urban runoff is surface runoff of rainwater created by urbanization. This runoff is a major source of flooding and water pollution in urban communities worldwide. Impervious surfaces (roads, parking lots and sidewalks) are constructed during land development.

7

How can we prevent urban runoff?

Here are some ways you can help reduce urban runoff pollution:

Buy "environmentally safe" household cleaners,
Properly store all toxic materials,
Take all unwanted hazardous materials and containers to local collection sites,
Use kitty litter or other absorbent to remove spills from pavement,

8

Why is stormwater runoff a problem?

Stormwater is a leading cause fo water pollution. It runs off solid surfaces and collects pollutants such as oil, pesticides, sediments, bacteria, and other chemicals, and then deposits them into our waterways. This runoff can kill aquatic life, and make our waterways an unhealthy place to live, work, and play.

9

How can we prevent stormwater pollution?

Here are the top ten ways you can reduce your contributions to stormwater pollution.

Don't dump anything down the stormdrains.
Use pesticides and fertilizers sparingly.
Use a car wash instead of washing your car in the street.
Pick up your dog poop.
Throw your trash in the garbage.
Throw your cigarette butts away.

10

What are the main pollutants in stormwater?

Stormwater is water from rain or melting snow that does not soak into the ground. It flows from rooftops, over paved areas, bare soil, and sloped lawns. As it flows, stormwater runoff collects and transports animal waste, litter, salt, pesticides, fertilizers, oil & grease, soil and other potential pollutants.

11

How can runoff be controlled?

BUILD A BERM, a small hill covered with grass or other plants that will divert runoff around what you want to protect.
ROUTE THE WATER INTO A DRY WELL.
GRADE BROAD SURFACES to direct runoff away from houses, sheds, barns, and patios.
INTERCEPT THE WATER by using a swale, a shallow ditch with gently sloping sides.

12

What is a swale ditch?

A swale is a low tract of land, especially one that is moist or marshy. The term can refer to a natural landscape feature or a human-created one. Artificial swales are often infiltration basins designed to manage water runoff, filter pollutants, and increase rainwater infiltration.

13

How deep does a dry well need to be?

Dig the Hole and Trench. Coming out from the downspout, at least 10 feet from the foundation (and 3 feet from any property line), dig a hole about 4 feet deep and wide. With a long-handled shovel, tunnel under the sidewalk and dig a trench 1 foot deep and 6 inches wide that slopes gradually toward the hole.

14

What is the purpose of a dry well?

A dry well or drywell is an underground structure that disposes of unwanted water, most commonly surface runoff and stormwater, and in some cases greywater. It is a covered, porous-walled chamber that allows water to slowly soak into the ground (that is, percolate), dissipating into the groundwater.

15

What is the catch basin?

A: A catch basin or storm drain is a curbside drain with the sole function of collecting rainwater from our properties and streets and transporting it to local waterways through a system of underground piping, culverts and/or drainage ditches. Storm drains can also be found in parking lots and serve the same purpose.

16

What is the definition of a catch basin?

Definition of catch basin. 1 : a cistern located at the point where a street gutter discharges into a sewer and designed to catch and retain matter that would not pass readily through the sewer. 2 : a reservoir or well into which surface water may drain off.

17

What is a storm drain used for?

A storm drain, storm sewer (U.S. and Canada), surface water drain/sewer (United Kingdom), or stormwater drain (Australia and New Zealand) is designed to drain excess rain and ground water from impervious surfaces such as paved streets, car parks, parking lots, footpaths, sidewalks, and roofs.
