Stormwater runoff creates problems all around the state. There are recent rules (last 5-10 years) to better control this, but we still have, for example, too much salt on our roads. The folks who minimize phosphorus on lawns, may still salt their driveways and adjacent roads. Whatever your chemical preference, vegetation or distance from the lake or some other water body, it all still runs downhill. Could be salt, fertilizer, animal droppings, PFOA or MtBE. It all goes down gradient.
