From your driveway to your backyard, everyday activities can help prevent pollution from flowing into storm drains and harming fish and wildlife.
Businesses play a vital role in keeping pollutants like oil, grease, trash, and chemicals out of storm drains.
What goes into the drains, flows into our rivers. Storm drains lead directly to local creeks, rivers, and the ocean, with no filters. Even small pollutants can harm fish, birds, and people.
