However, keeping these waterways healthy requires our collective effort.</span></p><p><span>抖阴传媒在线 Creek is considered an impaired waterway by the state of Colorado due to excess amounts of Escherichia coli bacteria (E. coli). While 抖阴传媒在线 Creek is not currently considered impaired by nutrient pollution, raising awareness about nutrients is key to help prevent future impairment.</span></p><h2><span>Nutrient pollution: What is it and why should we care?</span></h2><p><span>Nutrient pollution occurs when excess compounds of nitrogen and phosphorus enter our waterways, often from sources like fertilizers, pet waste and improperly disposed organic material. These nutrients can be washed off lawns and gardens during rainfall or irrigation, flowing directly into storm drains and, ultimately, into our stormwater systems. Once in the water, they can cause algal blooms, which deplete oxygen levels, harm aquatic life and degrade water quality.</span></p><h2><span>E. coli contamination in 抖阴传媒在线 Creek</span></h2><p><span>In addition to nutrient pollution, E. coli, a common bacterium from multiple sources, also impacts 抖阴传媒在线 Creek. Urbanization reduces the number of porous surfaces and increases contamination sources that wash into the storm sewer, promoting bacterial growth. The university is actively investigating and addressing the sources of E. coli in stormwater discharges.</span></p><h2><span>How you can help reduce nutrient pollution and E. coli loading</span></h2><ul><li><span><strong>Fertilizer use:</strong></span> Avoid over-fertilizing lawns and gardens, and never apply fertilizers near storm drains.</li><li><span><strong>Organic waste:</strong></span> Properly dispose of lawn clippings, leaves&nbsp;and other organic material instead of letting them wash into storm drains.</li><li><span><strong>Pet waste:</strong></span> Always clean up after your pets. Pet waste contributes to both bacteria and nutrients that pollute stormwater.</li><li><span><strong>Trash disposal:</strong></span> Place all garbage in waste containers, and avoid feeding wildlife, which can increase waste in waterways.</li><li><span><strong>Report issues:</strong></span> If you see illegal dumping or clogged storm sewer inlets on campus, contact Facilities Management at 303-492-5522.</li></ul><p><span>As a large, eco-conscious community at CU 抖阴传媒在线, we have a great opportunity to work together to protect our stormwater resources and contribute to the university鈥檚 sustainability goals. By adopting simple habits like cleaning up after pets, properly disposing of waste and being mindful of fertilizer use, each of us can make a positive impact.</span></p><p><span>For more information, visit the CU 抖阴传媒在线 Environmental Health &amp; Safety (EH&amp;S) </span><a href="/ehs/resources/stormwater-guidelines#:~:text=Precipitation%20(rain%20and%2For%20melting,bodies%20without%20any%20prior%20treatment." rel="nofollow">stormwater guidelines webpage</a> or contact EH&amp;S at 303-492-6025 or <a href="mailto:ehs@colorado.edu" rel="nofollow">ehs@colorado.edu</a>.</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div>At CU 抖阴传媒在线, we are fortunate to have beautiful waterways, including 抖阴传媒在线 Creek, and keeping these waterways healthy requires our collective effort.</div> <h2> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--ucb-related-articles-block paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div>Off</div> </div> </h2> <div>Traditional</div> <div>0</div> <div> <div class="imageMediaStyle large_image_style"> <img loading="lazy" src="/today/sites/default/files/styles/large_image_style/public/feature-title-image/boulder_creek.cc108_copy.jpg?itok=DhDDEkWQ" width="1500" height="656" alt> </div> </div> <div>On</div> <div>White</div> Fri, 17 Oct 2025 13:57:17 +0000 Anonymous 49566 at /today Get theft prevention tips for your car and belongings inside your car /today/2025/10/14/get-theft-prevention-tips-your-car-and-belongings-inside-your-car <span>Get theft prevention tips for your car and belongings inside your car</span> <span><span>Anonymous (not verified)</span></span> <span><time datetime="2025-10-14T09:49:59-06:00" title="Tuesday, October 14, 2025 - 09:49">Tue, 10/14/2025 - 09:49</time> </span> <div> <div class="imageMediaStyle focal_image_wide"> <img loading="lazy" src="/today/sites/default/files/styles/focal_image_wide/public/article-thumbnail/car-1590508_1920.jpg?h=446dc3f6&amp;itok=EeDbIxpD" width="1200" height="800" alt="Pixabay image by TheDigitalWay"> </div> </div> <div role="contentinfo" class="container ucb-article-categories" itemprop="about"> <span class="visually-hidden">Categories:</span> <div class="ucb-article-category-icon" aria-hidden="true"> <i class="fa-solid fa-folder-open"></i> </div> <a href="/today/taxonomy/term/32"> Safety </a> </div> <div class="ucb-article-content ucb-striped-content"> <div class="container"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--article-content paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="ucb-article-content-media ucb-article-content-media-above"> <div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--media paragraph--view-mode--default"> </div> </div> </div> <div class="ucb-article-text d-flex align-items-center" itemprop="articleBody"> <div><p dir="ltr"><span>According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation,&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/232588/motor-vehicle-theft-rate-in-the-us-by-state/?srsltid=AfmBOoqz7M41gyugSf_epX2xQ6MV6FSc2eUBH7odpDRvMXrE21yWNPYu" rel="nofollow"><span>Colorado ranked fourth in the country</span></a><span> for the number of cars stolen in 2023.</span></p><div class="ucb-box ucb-box-title-left ucb-box-alignment-right ucb-box-style-fill ucb-box-theme-lightgray"><div class="ucb-box-inner"><div class="ucb-box-title">Get more tips</div><div class="ucb-box-content"><h2><a href="/today/node/22928/" rel="nofollow">Preventing bike theft</a></h2><p>As with most college campuses, bike thefts are the leading crime at CU 抖阴传媒在线, so be sure to read these safety tips.</p><h2><a href="/today/node/26996/" rel="nofollow">Preventing device theft</a></h2><p>Our phones, tablets and laptops often contain personal information and important data, having great value to criminals. <span>These pointers from CUPD can help prevent your devices from being stolen.</span></p></div></div></div><p dir="ltr"><span>While not one of our leading crimes on campus, car thefts and property theft from inside cars can happen to anyone, anywhere.
