Beargrass Creek page 24

Assuring Safe Human Contact How swimmable streams are Measured by amount of pollutants in water

Impervious Surfaces: When it rains it pours BGC urbanized so more concrete Increase runoff  increases pollution  decreases oxygen available  decrease life and biodiversity

Supporting Aquatic Health Clean water supports diversity of plants, animals, and food/water for humans Increase concrete  decrease trees  increase temperature of stream  decrease oxygen and life

Runoff Responsible for Fish Decline Stormwater runoff carries animal wastes, fertilizers, motor oil, road salt, sediments Overall health of BGC is poor – do not eat fish

Creekside buffers: We need more Natural buffers to protect water quality, filter pollutants, decrease water temperature, control runoff Plant native species only!

Reclaiming the Floodplain Floodplains hold lots of water during heavy rain Filter pollutants and sediments Become parks, transportation, biking and walking trails

Do your part: you can make a difference Plant a rain garden Speak up Reduce your waste
