Rain and snow are not to blame for the storm water runoff problems. In fact, rain and snow fall are completely natural. The problem is the pollution that contaminates runoff during its journey over streets, parking lots, driveways and other impervious surfaces. Storm water can also pickup fertilizers, chemicals and pet waste from lawns and landscape areas.
