It is a common perception that compost, because of its association with healthy soils and landscaping, must be rich in readily available nutrients posing a threat to receiving bodies of water contributing to storm water run-off contamination. This presentation shares the science behind "organic" forms of nitrogen, how they differ from synthetic produced nutrients, and how compost BMP's have become the foundation for water quality improvement programs like Washington state's Soils for Salmon program. Learn why the quality of the compost you use is important and how to integrate this valuable tool into your storm water management program.
