Why is controlling erosion and sediment discharge so important?     Without proper management of our surface soils, our rivers, streams, lakes and stormwater systems could be choked-off....... destroying our delicate ecosystem!  Water pollution degrades surface waters making them unsafe for drinking, fishing, swimming, and other activities. As authorized by the Clean Water Act, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program controls water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants into waters of the United States.  Since its introduction in 1972, the NPDES permit program is responsible for significant improvements to our Nation's water quality.  Watersaver is committed to providing a complete line of Erosion & Sediment Control products to our customers addressing the importance of full compliance to the Phase II regulations under NPDES.
