What Environmental Concerns Require Pollution Prevention?
The effective prevention of current and future adverse nonpoint source impacts requires an educated, active and involved citizenry. Citizen involvement is necessary for effective implementation of changes in private owner land use practices, community-based river clean-up programs, and changes in personal behavior and attitudes which promote creek corridor conservation, stewardship and water quality protection. Citizen involvement is also critical in developing effective and applicable revisions to local government planning, zoning and drainage control ordinances.
