FiledJuly 12th, 2010Runoff from hard surfaces such as pavement and roof- tops picks up sediment and pollution and carries it into our streams and creeks. As Boone County develops, ar- eas are converted from fields and forests to parking lots and buildings. Rain water that was once able to soak into the soil now flows down streets or across rooftops. The increased amount of water reaching our streams and the pollution in the runoff can harm aquatic life, damage property by destabilizing stream banks and in- crease flooding.
