Everyone loves the James River. It's valued a resource for everything from recreation to industry. But not many people realize that thoughtless actions carried out by residents or businesses miles away can pollute and destroy the river and other waterways.

This Website is intended to help you understand the relationship between the City's stormwater management system and the region's natural resources such as the James River. Once you're done browsing the links below, keep your eyes peeled for improper activities in the Richmond area and let us know if you see anything that doesn't seem right. You can contact us using any of the avenues at right.
