WHY STORMWATER & LITTER?
There are growing concerns about the impacts of debris and plastic pollution in rivers, lakes, the ocean and coastal waters, along with increasing emphasis on stormwater management of litter and debris. Virginia faces a new urgency to understand and address the sources of litter and marine debris in our waters.
