In rural <br />communities, roadside ditches can also carry litter, chemicals and <br />yard waste to our waterways. <br /> <br />DON’T DUMP <br />NEVER dump used engine oil, soapy water or yard waste into storm <br />drains, roadside ditches, backyard ravines, or dry creek beds. Even <br />“natural” waste like grass clippings and leaves can release large <br />amounts of phosphorus and nitrates that cause algae blooms <br />downstream. <br /> <br />DON’T wash out painting supplies in your driveway or the street. <br />These chemicals end up in our lakes and rivers and might kill fish <br />and other animals. Dumping liquids and materials into storm drains is <br />considered an illicit discharge and is against the law! <br />If you see illegal dumping or see water that is cloudy, colored, or has <br />an oil sheen, report it to Lake Elmo Public Works. Report petroleum <br />and hazardous materials spills to the Minnesota Duty Officer: 1-800- <br />422-0798 <br /> <br />RAKE & SWEEP YOUR STREET <br />Grass clippings and dirt might be natural, but they contain <br />phosphorus and nitrogen that feed smelly, green algae. <br /> <br />YOU CAN HELP! <br />DO turn your mower around when you mow so that clippings blow <br />into the lawn instead of the street, see Lake Elmo Stormwater <br />Ordinance. <br />DO sweep grass clippings, leaves and dirt out of the street in front of <br />your home and clear debris off of nearby storm drains. Sign up to <br />adopt your nearest storm drain at www.adopt-a-drain.org. <br />CHOOSE the right location for your compost pile. It should be high <br />and dry – not in a pathway where water flows when it rains. <br />DO pick up litter in your neighborhood to help keep our community
