It is a result of water being unable to infiltrate the ground. Impervious Cover ( houses, roadways, parking areas, etc.) Ground Saturation Stormwater causes erosion, stream bank instability, and flooding Stormwater is a non-point source (NPS) pollution to waterways. Stormwater is the #1 way pollutants enter our stream, lakes, rivers, ponds, etc.

Impervious Cover is any material that stops or inhibits rainfall from entering the ground and replenishing groundwater reserves. Impervious Cover is a major factor of stormwater and non-point source pollutants. Example: Rainfall flowing across a parking lot can pick-up road salt, oil, gas, anti-freeze that had leaked from automobiles. The rainfall (stormwater) carries these pollutants to a stream, pond, or lake and causes a pollution impact. Impervious Cover concerns exist in both the urban (city) and rural settings. When the environment is altered, it has to adjust. Water takes the path of least resistance, therefore, water will choose to flow over asphalt before it will a grassy area.

Ground water recharge, infiltration What pollutants are being taken to our streams? petroleum products fertilizers pesticides, herbicides and more… What impact does the increased runoff have on our streams? stream bank disturbance stream channel changes increased flooding more intense flooding events Elevated water temperatures

Stormwater Management is not just an urban issue. Stormwater Management is typically done through rules and regulations on a municipal, county and state level. Stormwater Management planning is expensive and time-consuming. Think about the storm events in the past several years Think about effects of those storms on streams around you, neighbors and/or friends properties, maybe your property. Could decreased amounts of stormwater have helped? Can better stormwater management lessen storm event impacts?
