Storm Water Pollution Prevention In urban and suburban areas, the most common route for stormwater pollutants is in the network of storm drains that carry excess rain water away from streets and directly into waterways. Rainfall can wash pollutants from lawns and streets into the storm drains, or they can be dumped there deliberately by people who are careless about the environment or who mistakenly think the storm drains flow into a water treatment plant.

It is operated by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and provides access to the largest natural resource information system in the world. NRCS has soil maps and data available online for more than 95 percent of the nation’s counties and anticipates having 100 percent in the near future. The site is updated and maintained online as the single authoritative source of soil survey information.
