Toxins and Pollutants | Lake Runoff

When residential & commercial landowners, local growers and lawn care owners use negligent practices, it can cause runoff to pollute the lakes and streams. Misuse of fertilizers, uprooting of native vegetation, loose soil, the planting of nonnative or illegal species, and the dumping of hazardous chemicals are all factors that contribute to poisonous runoff.

The Clean Water Act of 1972 establishes and maintains goals and standards for U.S. water quality and purity. It has been amended several times, most prominently in 1987 to increase controls on toxic pollutants, and in 1990, to more effectively address the hazard of oil spills.
