Be Responsible for Runoff
About 3,600 animals and plants make their home in the Chesapeake Bay, the country’s largest estuary. On average, Norfolk residents live within a quarter-mile of a river that drains to the Bay, and our actions directly impact water quality.
Six Steps to Cleaner Waterways
1. Only rain down the storm drain.
2. Never over fertilize or when it is about to rain.
3. Carefully dispose of chemicals and oil.
4. Clean up after pets
5. Always participate in neighborhood clean-ups!
6. Never litter and always RECYCLE!
