Homeowners Key to Community Stormwater Management

Check here each month for simple, familiar, year-round yard care practices that encourage the absorption of rainfall and water runoff into the soil in residential landscapes. These actions benefit your community by preventing flooding, soil erosion, and polluted runoff that threaten our streams, drinking water, and ecosystems.

January: Use safe de-icers. Avoid using rock salt on walks and driveways to prevent polluted runoff from snow and ice melt. Shovel snow and spread sand. Substitute or minx in calcium magnesium acetate, magnesium chloride, or nonchloride de-icing products which are less harmful to streams and lawns.
