Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act require that any stream segment not meeting its designated uses classification must be put on the state's 303(d) list. This list is prioritized and each stream segment is then scheduled for the development of a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for the pollutant causing the problem. If measures are taken to reduce or eliminate the pollutant, and monitoring shows the designated use is restored, the stream segment can be removed from the 303(d) list.

"When Your Pet Goes On the Lawn, Remember It Doesn't Just Go On the Lawn"

When our pets leave those little surprises, rain washes all of that pet waste and bacteria into our storm drains. And then pollutes our waterways. So what to do? Simple. Dispose of it properly (preferable in the toilet). Then that little surprise gets treated like it should.

"When You're Fertilizing the Lawn, Remember You Aren't Just Fertilizing the Lawn"

You fertilize the lawn. Then it rains. The rain washes the fertilizer along the curb into the storm drain, and directly into our lakes, streams and bays. This causes algae to grow, which uses up oxygen that fish need to survive. So if you fertilize, please follow directions and use sparingly.

"When Your Car's Leaking Oil On the Street, Remember It's Not Just Leaking Oil On the Street "

Leaking oil goes from car to street. And is washed from the street into the storm drain and into our lakes, streams and bays, Now imagine the number of cars in the area and you can imagine the amount of oil that finds its way from leaky gaskets into our water. So please, fix oil leaks.

"When You're Washing Your Car in the Driveway, Remember You're Not Just Washing Your Car in the Driveway "

All the soap, scum, and oily grit runs along the curb. Then into the storm drain and directly into our lakes, streams, and bays. And that causes pollution which is unhealthy for fish. So how do you avoid the whole mess? Easy. Wash your car on the grass or gravel instead of the street. Or better yet, take it to a car wash where the water gets treated and recycled.
