Polluted runoff from urban and suburban areas creates flooding, can threaten human health and carries toxic chemicals into local waterways. In developed areas, it can be a significant contributor to the impairment of streams and rivers.
For example, in Anne Arundel County, the Public Works Department estimates that runoff from city streets and suburban parking lots contributes more than 880,000 pounds of nitrogen pollution to local waterways every year. This is more than the nitrogen pollution from agriculture and septic systems combined.

I bet the only way to fix this is raise taxes.
So, what is the business plan to stop it? Where is the blueprint of the machine or system that cleans this water? What does it look like? Will it take more than 100 of these? How much do they cost? How much to start them up? How much will it cost to run them each year?
Really You don't know, do you. You have no plan. You have no machine or design.
You have no freaking clue how to stop this, do you?
It's just give us money and we will figure something out.
Well, Marty, you go design the beast and run it up the flagpole, and we'll see how many salute it.
Meanwhile, I'll keep my money in my pocket, thank you!
yet, they want to blame the farmers. IDIOTS!
top 2 things everyone can do to reduce water pollution (and save you money!):
- Stop fertilizing your lawn and gardens! Or use low-nutrient methods.
- Keep your car maintained. This will save you costly repair bills and prevent oils and toxins from getting into the water.
