You need a permit to dig in the County right-of-way.

Sidewalk programs.

Safer Sidewalk Program

Stormwater discharges to streams, rivers and lakes are not treated. Any material that gets into the gutter or drainageway goes to the stream. About one-half the water pollution in the U.S. is caused by this type pollution.

As grass clippings and leaves decompose, bugs and other decomposers use oxygen in the water. That leaves less oxygen for "good" bugs and fish. Before development, leaves and grass clippings did not get into the streams like they do today. Used oil should be recycled and pet waste bagged and put in the trash.
