NASA Langley’s Environmental Management Office (EMO) provides educational materials to help teach general NASA personnel on how to reduce concentrations of coliform bacteria from entering local waterways and keep both people and wildlife safe and healthy.
This quarter’s stormwater article provides information on what determines water quality, Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs), what pollutants discharge from the Center, and how they affect the health and safety of the Back River.
NASA Langley employees play an important role in contributing to the reduction of dangerous bacteria and nutrient loads from the Center. It is vital to health of the environment, and to humans, to reduce pollution into local waterways. Let’s work together to keep NASA Langley and the Back River clean and safe!
