What You Can Do
We need everyone to do their share in creating a safe and healthy environment. Anything that goes into the storm inlets flows directly into the streams without being treated. 
The most important thing to consider is that what you may dump into the storm inlet does not only affect you, but it affects your neighbors and other communities that the streams flow through. Please be safe and cautious and keep the following things in mind to prevent pollution.
- Dumping used motor oil or other toxic wastes down the storm inlets eventually finds its way to the streams. Do not dump these hazardous wastes into the inlets; take them to a recycling center instead.
- Leaking oil contributes to pollution; therefore servicing your car regularly helps the environment.
- Don't litter. Always dispose trash in its proper location. Styrofoam, plastics and other debris can injure and kill fish and wildlife.
- When using fertilizers and pesticides, follow the label for use and storage methods.
- Help prevent erosion by planting steep slopes and planting bare spots. This soil will erode the stream banks and harm all fish and wildlife.
- Check our "Current Activities" page for additional ways you can help.
