Pollution Prevention Begins With You!
What is Nonpoint Source Pollution?
Nonpoint source (NPS) pollution occurs when
rainwater washes over paved and unpaved surfaces carrying pollutants with
it that eventually end up in rivers, streams, groundwater and the ocean.
These pollutants can be harmful to our water quality and the plants and
animals that live in the waterbodies.
Because NPS pollution is so difficult to control, it is up to everyone to
do their part to prevent and reduce NPS pollutants in their community. For
more information on what you can do to control NPS pollution, call 302-739-4506.
