Street to Creeks - Potentially Harmful Runoff [En Español abajo] Prevent ash and debris from entering the waterways. ... You can help by taking simple steps by placing straw wattles, hay bales, and mulch around burned areas to reduce the chances of ashes and other material from washing into streams. Remember that everything that is outside drains to creeks and streams. Don’t use leaf blowers or hoses to remove ash and debris. Work with your neighbors. Runoff, erosion, and debris flows have no boundaries. ~~~ De la Calle a los Arroyos - Escorrentía que podría ser dañina Evite que las cenizas y la basura entren en las vías fluviales. Usted puede ayudar tomando precauciones simples como colocar rollos o balas de paja, o mantillo alrededor de las áreas quemadas para reducir la probabilidad de que las cenizas y otros materiales lleguen a los arroyos. Recuerde que todo lo que se encuentra en la calle puede llegar a nuestros arroyos. No utilice sopladores de hojas o mangueras para limpiar cenizas, tierra y basura. Trabaje con sus vecinos.
