Stay Safe at the Beach This Summer


MinuteMorningMonth
  • See how often the water at your favorite beach is tested and if it violated health standards.
  • Read NRDC's homeowner's guide and make a few changes in your household to reduce water pollution. Reduce polluted stormwater runoff by moving rain gutters and spouts on your home to lead to soil, grass or gravel areas, and not hard surfaces which funnel pollution into waterways.

Routing gutter runoff away from driveways and onto permeable surfaces might slow down the overall speed of runoff (probably a good thing unto itself since it might decrease sediment load?), but the oil drips in the driveway and the fertilizer you spilled on the sidewalk are still going to run off into the street, no? Perhaps a better plan would be to \"avoid impermeable surfaces\" to begin with?
