Stormwater Management and Education

Unlike pollution that is directly discharged from permitted sewage treatment plants and other industrial sources, nonpoint source pollution typically includes runoff that can carry contaminants and other deposits over large areas following an event of precipitation. One of these sources includes runoff from stormwater.

While watershed-based plans focus on mitigating the effects of nonpoint source pollution, Greater Egypt is also committed to reducing nonpoint source pollution in our municipalities through stormwater educational materials and outreach.
