Never dump anything down storm drains or in streams.
Consider lawn alternatives to grass and vegetate bare spots in your yard.
Check your car for leaks and recycle your motor oil.
Direct downspouts away from paved surfaces; consider a rain garden to capture runoff.
As Rose Royce suggests, take your car to the carwash instead of washing it in your driveway.

Educational Stormwater MazeIn 2016/2017 staff from each of the entities required in Sheboygan County to submit Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources WPDES permits, teamed up to avoid duplicating efforts in regards to stormwater and erosion control education. The staff felt this would be a more consistent, cost-effective, and efficient approach. Those Sheboygan County entities involved are Sheboygan County, City of Sheboygan, City of Sheboygan Falls, Village of Kohler, Village of Howards Grove, Town of Sheboygan, and Town of Wilson. The Sheboygan County Planning & Conservation Department is the lead agency in the effort based on the collaborative efforts of all the entities.
