practices.

Check out
technical resources for stewardship:
- Ensure regular maintenance of public stormwater management
facilities
- Educate citizens. Consider a storm-drain stenciling system
that warns people of the dangers of dumping and a hazardous
waste disposal day for your community. These raise public
awareness and build consensus for your goal of water protection.
- Protect open space. Habitat protection and agricultural
land preservation are goals that often help to protect local
waters.
