We can set flags to identify areas that should be in buffers. The Conservation Reserve Program provides some funding for installing vegetative buffers. Buffers are an effective tool in improving water quality. Please call our office if you will be installing vegetative buffers, need assistance or if you have any questions. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly March brought our first taste of spring.
Spring brings warm southern breezes, spring showers and water everywhere.
But along with the good comes the bad. Let's enjoy the buds on the backyard trees and crocuses poking up through the ground. But let's not ignore oily sheens in the parking lot while the snow is melting and washing into the storm drains, and the muddy water is flowing down the ditches and gutters. Most of its end up in our lakes and streams, but along the way it goes through a few changes. Storm Water is NOT Clean Water Stormwater starts its journey to our lakes and rivers when it's washing across the surface of the land.
