www.lowergrandriver.org What is Storm Water Runoff? When it rains, storm water flows over lawns, streets, and parking lots. Storm water runoff can carry dirt, fertilizers, and motor oil into storm drains, which are often located alongside streets and parking lots. Where do Storm Drains Lead? Storm drains lead directly to nearby rivers, streams, and lakes without any type of treatment. How Can I Help? • Report anyone dumping anything down a storm drain. • Take used motor oil to a quick lube or auto shop. • Dispose of pet waste in a trash can. • Avoid fertilizing your lawn before it rains. • Wash your car on your lawn or take it to a commercial car wash.
