Are you a contractor, subcontractor, builder or tradesperson working in construction? Proper erosion and sediment control in construction sites is one of the most important keys to keeping the local waters swimable and fishable. Save yourself time, money and save the rivers by following Wisconsin regulations. New information from the Rock River Stromwater Group will be released regularly including our two new factsheets below. Share them with your team and get moreinformation from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Erosion Control Page.

Stone Tracking Pads - Keep dirt off the streets
Inlet Protection - The direct pathway to storm drains

The UW-Extension and the Department of Natural Resources maintain a website that includes regulatory information, training information, educational materials and publications. You can access Wisconsin's Runoff Info website here.

There are many things a business owner can do to keep our local waterways clean, beginning with an environmental audit. Many industries already have their own Environmental Management System, or you can use the University of Wisconsin Small Business Environmental Audit Manual found on the UW-Extension urban runoff site.
