Tell EPA to Clean Up Polluted Waters

As water flows over streets, parking lots, and other “hardscapes,” it picks up pollutants and carries them to our waterways. This “storm water” is a leading source of pollution to waterways throughout the country. In November 2010, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued an important Memorandum that encouraged states to set numeric limits in storm water permits, and to take other strong actions to address this pervasive, poorly controlled source of pollution. Mounting opposition by polluters, however, has led EPA to consider withdrawing or weakening parts of the Memorandum. We need to let EPA know that Californians and citizens across the country support strong federal leadership on reducing storm water pollution and restoring the health of polluted lakes, rivers, streams, estuaries and coastal waters.
