Watershed & Coastal Watershed Council Seeking Adventurous Volunteers For First Flush

Capitola, CA…First Flush is an annual volunteer monitoring event that samples storm drain runoff during the first significant rainfall of the wet season, usually in October or November. To get involved, please complete this volunteer application, give us call at 831-464-9200 or email Debie.

First Flush 2011

During the first rain water washes significant amounts of pollution off street surfaces, driveways, and curbs and into storm drains. This concentrated mix of often polluted water flows directly from these storm drains into creeks, rivers and the Monterey Bay. Learn more about First Flush.
