GET THE DIRT OUT
Georgia Construction Stormwater Project

Help Get the Dirt Out of our streams and rivers! Sediment carried by stormwater runoff from construction sites in Georgia has been documented as the leading source of non-point source pollution to streams, lakes and rivers throughout Georgia.

If you’ve noticed you local waterway running red with Georgia clay due to a local construction site, YOU can help! As a concerned citizen, YOU can participate in the Get the Dirt Out project and help reduce polluted stormwater runoff from construction sites by: documenting the erosion and sediment problem or related issue, contacting the appropriate local and state officials, and following up.

The Get the Dirt Out Citizens Training Workshop will help you understand what you can do to protect the quality and quantity of your drinking water, protect your property from erosion due to construction stormwater runoff, and protect the health of your local streams. This workshop is a 2-3 hour training that will teach you how to spot problems on local construction sites, who to call if you see a problem, and how to follow up with the authorities to make sure the problems get fixed.

For more information, visit the Get the Dirt Out project website.
