Nutrients- nitrogen and phosphorus can lead to
eutrophication and fish kills

Sediment- clogs drainage ways,
clouds rivers and degrades aquatic
habitat

Bacteria- public health risk, can lead to closure of fishing areas and loss of revenue
Over 1150 acres of NC shellfish waters have been closed since 1990 mostly due to stormwater runoff
