| Abstract/Contents: | "The Federally mandated National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requires that state and local governments control nonpoint source pollutants in their jurisdictions. Erosion is considered the biggest contributor to nonpoint source pollution in the United States. It is a serious environmental problem as well as being expensive to control." The city of Portland, Oregon implemented an erosion control demonstration project to show that yard debris compost could be an effective way to control erosion. Therefore, if yard waste compost can be used effectively to control erosion then there will be an increase in the sales of compost. |
