Did the Project make trees

quality monitoring throughout the project.  During dry weather monitoring, enrolled nurseries had higher water quality improvements than non-enrolled nurseries. 
        This project provided valuable data to the State and Regional Water Boards, fully characteristizing pollutant loading from nurseries in Orange County.  The data also showed increases in pesticide levels during storm events from 2007-2009, which informs the Water Boards on the expanding use of these pollutants.
Looking Forward: Our data has shown high levels of pollutants discharged from nursery operations, while at the same time these nurseries are exempt from water quality regulations. Coastkeeper will continue to demand stronger stateconsultation were still in use.
wide standards to improve the water quality of agricultural runoff. We hope that BMP program will serve as a model for future oureach projects to nurseries across the state
