There are several things that must be followed to adhere to a safe lifting technique. The first one is to make sure that you have a proper grip on the object that you lift. The second one is to not bend or twist the waist during the lifting motion, your back and waist should always be straight. The last one is to keep your legs shoulders-width apart.
Land development creates impervious surfaces through construction of roads, parking lots, and other structures. Impervious surfaces:
Contribute to nonpoint source water pollution by limiting the capacity of soils to filter runoff.
Affect peak flow and water volume, which heighten erosion potential and affect habitat and water quality.
Increase storm water runoff, which can deliver more pollutants to water bodies that residents may rely on for drinking and recreation.1 Storm runoff from urban and suburban areas contains dirt, oils from road surfaces, nutrients from fertilizers, and various toxic compounds.
