STORM WATER MANAGEMENT

Do you know...? Today, storm water runoff remains the Nation's largest source of water quality problems and is one of the leading reasons that approximately 45 percent of assessed stream miles were identified by the U.S. EPA as impaired and not supporting one or more of their designated uses (i.e. fishing, swimming, etc) (2002). Locally, urban runoff and agricultural activities are thought to be the source of water quality impairments within the Santa Maria River. It's important to MAKE the CONNECTION in your daily activities to prevent storm water pollution.
