Stormwater runoff containing excessive amounts of pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers is a significant threat to water quality. There are several things one can do to protect the water quality in our lakes and streams:

• Limit the use of pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers.
• Do not apply pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers if heavy rain is predicted.
• Rather than broadcasting herbicides, spot-treat only those areas that contain weeds.
• Maintain a small lawn and keep the rest of your property or yard in a natural state with trees and other native vegetation that require little or no fertilizer.
• Make sure to properly dispose of any unused portions. Do not dump pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers down a storm drain.
