Stormwater pollution from cars and other vehicles

Streets, roads, and highways are the primary mode for moving goods, people, and services, but also can carry stormwater runoff pollutants from the adjacent land and from cars, trucks, and buses, including:

• copper, lead and other heavy metals from tires, brakes, and engine wear, and

• antifreeze

• oils from

  If the pollutants are not properly controlled, they can impair waters causing them to no longer support the water's designated uses and biotic communities.
