Land use activities can cause changes in stormwater flows. Many pollutants, such as nutrients and metals, attach to fine particles of soil from throughout the watershed. Soil and attached pollutants are carried in the stormwater down to a waterbody or wetland. A project is required to meet appropriate standards to prevent and control the release of pollutants to waterbodies, wetlands, and groundwater, and reduce impacts associated with increases and changes in flow.
