Storm water program to start in Brunswick County

The North Carolina Coastal Federation has received a $75,000 grant to start a storm water program with Brunswick County.

The grant will provide cost-effective options for highway infrastructure projects. They may also help protect and restore the water quality in the Lockwood Folly River watershed.

Storm water is rain water that falls upon hardened, or impervious, surfaces, picking up pollutants on the ground and flushing them into our creeks, rivers and sounds.
