Local Ordinances
All local governments have ordinances and/or regulations that may help maintain the water quality of your local streams.  For example, many counties have regulations that govern zoning, septic tank maintenance and activities that affect erosion and sedimentation.  In some instances, local ordinances may be more stringent than state law. These ordinances and regulations can generally be found on your city or county website.
