CHINA GROVE
STORMWATER
An original town.
The Town of China Grove stormwater program focuses on six "Best Management
Practices" or BMPs.
The six BMPs are:
• Public Education and Outreach
• Public Involvement and Participation
• Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
• Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control
• Post -Construction Stormwater Management
• Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations
What can you do to Prevent Stormwater Pollution?
• Do not dump anything down the stormdrains
0 Sediment or mud is one of the top pollutants in NC's waterways. If a construction site is caus-
ing muddy streets, storm drains or streams, report the problem.
• Use pesticides and fertilizers sparingly
• Wash your car in the grass instead of the street, or use a carwash
0 Washing your cars in the grass allows the water to soak into the ground. Using a carwash the
water goes to a wastewater treatment plant.
• Throw trash and cigarette butts in the garbage
• Clean up vehicle drips and leaks
0 Oils and metals are harmful to streams.
• Consider a rain barrel to collect water
0 Rain barrels and rain gardens reduce the volume of stormwater reaching streams during a
storm. Less stormwater equals less stream bank erosion and sediment pollution.
• Sweep sidewalks and driveways clean
• Keep yard waste out of the Storm Drains
0 Yard waste in the street can wash away and clog storm drains and streams. This could cause
flooding.
• Pick up your pet waste
Pet waste is a large source of bacteria for stormwater. If left on the ground it can be carried
by rain or irrigation water into our local creeks and rivers.
