Mahalo to Ka'anapali Golf Course for taking action and allowing us to showcase the stormwater improvements they made at their baseyard! In 2018, the golf course moved their wash down area and installed a specialized wash rack system with full filtration. What a difference!

The images to the right were taken BEFORE the golf course moved its wash-down area and installed the special wash rack shown below. Now, grass clippings and other pollutants associated with vehicle washing will not get into the storm drain in this area.

After the wash-down area was moved, the golf course installed this filter sock that is now protecting the storm drain (the same one barely visible, above) from any remaining debris generated within the baseyard.

Ka'anapali Golf Course's new Waste2Water wash rack is a closed loop system. The water is biologically treated for oil so that it can be used again for washing.

The golf course stores their chemicals in this containment unit; they no longer use restricted use chemicals. The fertilizer they use is a slow release granular type ("31-9") which helps prevent it from getting into waterways. Plus, they use recycled (R1) water for irrigation which cuts down on the need for fertilizer since the R1 water already has elevated nitrogen.

This protective pad provides containment for vehicles being sprayed down.
