What you can do today! Nonpoint source pollution is contamination of our watersheds, ground water, waterways and ocean that results from everyday activities such as fertilizing the lawn, walking pets, changing motor oil and littering. With each rainfall, pollutants generated by these activities are washed into local waterways. They can also soak into the ground contaminating the ground water. These contaminates can end up in our drinking water supply. Simple changes in your daily lifestyle can make a tremendous difference in the quality of New Jersey’s water resources. Here are a few ways that you can reduce nonpoint source pollution: Place litter in trash receptacles. Never throw litter, including cigarette butts and fast food containers, in streets or down storm drains. Recycle as much as possible. Avoid the overuse of fertilizers. Do not apply them before a heavy rainfall. Do a soil test to see if fertilizers are necessary. Over use of Fertilizers (nitrates and phosphates) cause algae blooms that can kill fish. Use alternative to pesticides whenever possible. When using a pesticide, follow the directions carefully. Many household products made to exterminate pests are also toxic to humans, animals, aquatic organisms and plants. Pick up after your pet and dispose of wastes in the garbage, not the storm drain. Animal wastes contain bacteria, viruses and nutrients that can contaminate our waterways and negatively effect aquatic life and can lead to algae blooms. Do not feed ducks and geese. Feeding ducks, geese and other waterfowl causes them to concentrate in small areas resulting in concentrated animal waste, causing the same problems as pet waste. Dispose of household hazardous waste properly. Do not pour household hazardous products (paint thinners, mothballs, oven cleaners, etc) down any drain or toilet; and do not dispose in household trash. Hazardous waste can be dropped off at the County Resource Managing stormwater in your own backyard is Recovery Center on Rte 543 T-F 7-3; Sat important.
