How did the program begin?
In 2007, the Legislature directed us to establish the Local Source Control Partnership (now called Pollution Prevention Assistance), a small business technical assistance program designed to prevent pollution and improve the state’s water quality.
Each biennium, we enter into interagency agreements with local governments near critical waterways, such as the Puget Sound, Columbia River, Spokane River, and others. Participating jurisdictions then assign PPA specialists to assist small businesses in reducing pollution.
Read our biennium reports to see which jurisdictions participated, the types of businesses served, and the overall successes of the program:

Businesses in Washington can take advantage of our pollution prevention technical assistance services. Our services are non-enforcement, hands-on, technical assistance (in-person, or by phone or email). Our teams can help you learn and apply
pollution prevention (P2) best practices
Reduce waste and pollution at the source.
Improve efficiency.
Switch to safer products.
By doing so, businesses can often
reduce costs and save money
in the long run. Our teams help dangerous waste generators based on their
generator category
Small quantity generators (SQGs).
Medium quantity (MQGs) and large quantity generators (LQGs).
Pollution Prevention Assistance (PPA) for SQGs
Our
Pollution Prevention Assistance (PPA)
program partners with local city and county organizations to provide pollution prevention assistance to SQGs through local specialists. PPA and our local partners help SQGs:
Pollution prevention assistance for MQGs and LQGs
Our
Pollution Prevention Technical Assistance Team
can help medium or large quantity generators:
Apply for a P2 grant
Pollution prevention (P2) grants
are federally funded grants awarded by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). While the grants are awarded to state agencies, P2 grants allow us to partner with and fund P2 projects in cooperation with those that cannot apply directly on their own, such as businesses, nonprofits, local and Tribal governments, and others.
