Solutions to polluted runoff: Best Management Practices (BMPs)
Stormwater BMPs help to improve water quality by slowing water flow, preventing flooding, and removing pollutants and sediments from our waterways. Many BMPs replicate natural systems to prevent and reduce polluted runoff.
Behavioral BMPs: picking up pet waste, not littering, washing your car on the lawn, reducing the use of herbicides and pesticides, testing your soil to determine appropriate fertilizer use, and composting your leaves and lawn clippings.
Structural BMPs: rain gardens, constructed wetlands, riparian buffers, shade trees, oyster reefs, swales, bioretention areas, rain barrels, streambank restoration, and habitat gardens.Airlie Gardens has installed many effective BMPs to help prevent polluted
runoff at the Gardens. These BMPs include:
