 Street sweeping prevents sediment, heavy metals, and other pollutants from reaching receiving waters by removing them from impervious areas before they reach storm drains.  Impervious areas accumulate sediment, lawn and leaf trimmings, trash, and other debris, along with heavy metals and other pollutants.  As stormwater flows over these surfaces, these substances are carried along with it, polluting waterways and increasing the sediment load of the water body.
-It's applicable on any impervious surface where a street sweeper may safely travel, including parking lots.  Because removing smaller particles is often difficult, street sweeping should be used in conjunction with other practices, such as [[Seeding]], [[Native Plants]] or a [[Grassed Swale]] to minimize the amount of material that must be removed.
