MPCA Partners With Lake Superior Streams
Lake Superior Streams is working with the MPCA to create a Web-based Design Kit that gives Duluth-area residents everything they need to know about reducing stormwater and stormwater pollution. The techniques described in the Design Kit are known by many names: Better Site Design (BSD), Low Impact Design (LID), Conservation Design, Smart Growth ...

"Lake Superior Streams is collaborating with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s Pollution Prevention staff and others to include information from these approaches that will be useful to homeowners, contractors, developers, contractors, realtors and governmental agencies and decision-makers with the goal of reducing stormwater flows and pollutant loads in order to protect or restore our regional water resources."

The Web page Design Kit gives everyone ideas for everything from pervious pavers to rain barrels.
