Margi Armstrong of clean water action will give a presentation on storm water runoff and what citizens can do to protect Lake St. Clair from pollution associated with storm water runoff. Techniques include rain barrels, rain gardens, retention ponds, swales, avoiding toxic and inappropriate fertilizer and pesticide use on your lawn as well as many other considerations.
Please join us for this event and learn how you can do your part to protect Lake St. Clair.
The Clinton River and its tributaries stretch across more than 760 square miles of land in southeast Michigan, including portions of Oakland, Macomb, Lapeer and St. Clair counties.
The river carries rain and snowmelt runoff, or stormwater, into Lake St. Clair. The quantity of stormwater entering our rivers, lakes and streams as well as the pollutants it carries can degrade aquatic habitat and water quality.
We can all take simple steps to reduce stormwater pollution.
After all the cheapest way to stop pollution is at the source.
Margi will present at 6:30pm on Thursday October 4th in the basement of the childcare center at Lakeshore YMCA
