Dare County Soil and Water Conservation District’s purpose is to protect and
enhance water quality in Dare County through land conservation, environmental
education and outreach, stormwater management, and drainage improvements. Dare
SWCD offers cost-sharing and grant seeking to aid in drainage and water quality
improvements, and for installation of BMPs. We offer technical support in
assisting with planning, design, and implementation of Best Management
Practices.
Best Management
Practices (BMPs) are techniques used to control
stormwater runoff, sediment control, and soil stabilization,
as well as management decisions to prevent or reduce
nonpoint source pollution. Stormwater BMPs are designed to
remove pollutants from urban runoff, improve water quality,
and control quantity before the water reaches our oceans,
sounds, canals, etc. The EPA defines a BMP as a "technique,
measure or structural control that is used for a given set
of conditions to manage the quantity and improve the quality
of stormwater runoff in the most cost-effective manner." |
