McKee Clan’s cache
Let’s follow LPT (Little Para Trail) is a series of caches along the trail for you to find. Please enjoy the walk or Ride as we have and happy hunting.
Due to the number of caches in carisbrook park and Howie bowie reserve we decided to start in salisbury and continue out to sea. Enjoy the walk or ride.

Storm Water Pollution
Since humans began living in concentrated village or urban settings, storm water runoff has been an issue. During the Bronze Age, housing took a more concentrated form, and impervious surfaces emerged as a factor in the design of early human settlements. Some of the early incorporation of storm water engineering is evidenced in ancient Greece.
A specific example of an early storm water runoff system design is found in the archaeological recovery at Minoan Phaistoson Crete.
Relationship between impervious surfaces and surface runoff
Because impervious surfaces (parking lots, roads, buildings, compacted soil) do not allow rain to infiltrate into the ground, more runoff is generated than in the undeveloped condition. This additional runoff can erode watercourses (streamsand rivers) as well as cause floodingafter the storm water collection system is overwhelmed by the additional flow. Because the water is flushed out of the watershedduring the storm event, little infiltrates the soil, replenishes groundwater, or supplies stream baseflowin dry weather.
Pollutants entering surface waters during precipitation events is termed polluted runoff. Daily human activities result in deposition of pollutants on roads, lawns, roofs, farmfields, etc. When it rainsor there is irrigation, water runs off and ultimately makes its way to a river, lake, or the ocean. While there is some attenuationof these pollutants before entering the receiving waters, the quantity of humanactivity results in large enough quantities of pollutants to impair these receiving waters.
Storm water management
Storm water filtration system for urban runoff
Managing the quantity and quality of storm water is termed, "Storm water Management."[5]The term Best Management Practice (BMP) is often used to refer to both structural or engineered control devices and systems (e.g. retention ponds) to treat polluted storm water, as well as operational or procedural practices. There are many forms of storm water management and BMPs, including:
• manage storm water to control flooding and erosion;
• manage and control hazardous materials to prevent release of pollutants into the environment (source control);
• plan and construct storm water systems so contaminants are removed before they pollute surface waters or groundwater resources;
• acquire and protect natural waterways where they still exist or can be rehabilitated;
• build "soft" structures such as ponds, swalesor wetlands to work with existing or "hard" drainage structures, such as pipes and concrete channels;
• revise current storm water regulations to address comprehensive storm water needs;
• enhance and enforce existing ordinances to make sure property owners consider the effects of storm water before, during and after development of their land;
• educate a community about how its actions affect water quality, and about what it can do to improve water quality; and
• plan carefully to create solutions before problems become too great.
