Stormwater Pollution Facts
Automotive Tips
Water runoff from streets and parking lots picks up oil and grease dropped from cars. Oil and grease clog fish gills and block oxygen from entering the water. If oxygen levels in the water become too low, aquatic animals may be harmed and/or die.
Clean Construction Access
Contractors should be respectful of citizens in neighborhoods where construction is taking place. Nobody wants to drive through mud on their way home. A proper construction access minimizes track out onto City streets. Contractors should take as much pride in the ‘PROCESS’ of constructing a project as they do in the ‘FINISHED PRODUCT.’
Stormwater Infiltration Ideas
There is no ‘bad time’ for planning which plants to use for your project. For more information on proper native vegetation please email ‘stormwater@kearneygov.org’ or call 308-233-3273. You can also stop by the City of Kearney Public Works Department at 1919 15th Ave.
Pocket Wetlands
These designed stormwater treatment facilities are ideal for any environment. Pocket wetlands filter, clean and store water from multiple sources. Thy act as sponges by holding flood waters and keeping rivers at normal levels.
