This catalog contains information and education material related to urban runoff,
stormwater and construction activities. The material has been categorized by
information media. The purpose of this catalog is to showcase existing efforts, transfer
information, attempt to avoid duplication and to provide a resource list for future
activity. Also, it can be used as a educational guide for school systems. Special thanks
goes out to the individuals who provided the'urban runoff information and education
materials.
This catalog was developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA),

pH, and organic matter in soil. This species, not
native to the United States, is typically found
on urban roadsides and is presumed to grow
there because of the salting of roads in the
winter. The plant has economic significance in
that it requires mowing late in the season and
can impair vision at intersections. Unpublished
