Did You Know?
Storm water collects, mixes and drains exposed material on the surface such as litter, trash, dirt, metals, oil, pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, paint, and other illicit discharges/improper disposals. Since storm water is not treated, these pollutants are directly discharged to our creeks, rivers, and other bodies of water.
