The federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has delegated permit authority to state environmental agencies. In Washington, the NPDES-delegated permit authority is the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology). Municipalities with a population of over 100,000 (as of the 1990 census) have been designated as Phase I communities and must comply with Ecology’s Western Washington Phase I NPDES Municipal Stormwater Permit. With Puyallup’s 1990 census falling below the 100,000 threshold, the City must comply with the Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit. About 100 other municipalities in Washington must now comply with the Phase II Permit, along with Puyallup, as operators of small municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s). The Permit allows municipalities to discharge stormwater runoff from municipal drainage systems into the State’s waterbodies streams, rivers, lakes, wetlands) as long as municipalities implement programs to protect water quality by reducing the discharge of “non-point source” pollutants to the “maximum extent practicable” (MEP) through application of Permit-specified “best management practices” (BMPs). The practices specified in the Permit are collectively referred to as the Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) and grouped under the following components:  Public Education and Outreach  Public Involvement  Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination  Controlling Runoff from Development, Redevelopment, and Construction Sites  Pollution Prevention and Municipal Operation and Maintenance  Monitoring The Permit requires the City to report annually (March 31st of each year) on progress in a Program implementation for the prior year. The Permit also requires submittal of documentation that describes proposed SWMP activities for the coming year. Implementation of various Permit conditions is phased throughout the Permit term. A list of the permits the City has been covered under includes: • February 16, 2005 through July 31, 2012. • August 1, 2012 to July 31, 2013. (AKA the “interim” permit) • August 1, 2013 through July 31, 2018. ---PAGE BREAK--- 1: Introduction City of Puyallup 2014 1-2 The (2005-2012) Permit was revised and reissued at the end of this period. A 2011 legislative change directed Ecology to reissue the existing Phase II permits unchanged for the interim period 2012-2013. A fully-updated Phase II, five year NPDES municipal stormwater general permit was issued with an effective date of August 2013 through July 2018. This document is the City’s written documentation of the Stormwater Management Program Report The remainder of this 2013 document describes actions Puyallup will take to maintain compliance over the seventh year of the Permit term January 1, 2014 through January 1, 2015). 1.2 Phased Permit Requirements Ecology began work on the Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit in the fall of 2004 and posted a preliminary draft for public comment on May 16, 2005. Ecology released a formal draft of the Permit in February 2006 and issued the final Permit on January 17, 2007. The permit was modified on June 17, 2009 to implement the outcomes of appeals. The Permit issued by Ecology became effective on February 16, 2007 and expires on February 15, 2012. Ecology is re-issuing the current permit for one additional year. The new expiration date for the re-issued permit will be July 31, 2013. Upon its expiration, a new permit will be effective beginning August 1, 2013 and ending on July 31, 2018. Ecology is phasing in many of the Permit requirements over the five-year Permit term. On March 31 of each year, beginning in 2008, the City must: 1. Submit its to Ecology describing compliance activities planned for the coming year. 2. Submit an annual report documenting Permit compliance activities for the previous calendar year. 3. Post the and annual report on the web. This includes the following attachments:  Appendix A - Acronyms and Definitions from the Permit.  Appendix B - 2014 City of Puyallup Future Stormwater Monitoring Plan  Appendix C - 2014 Effectiveness Monitoring Plan  Appendix D – 2014 Education and Outreach Plan The Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit and additional information can be found on Ecology’s website: http://www.ecy.wa.gov/Programs/wq/stormwater/municipal/phaseIIww/wwphiipermit.html. 1.3 Department Responsibilities The Permit requirements affect departments across the City organization. Implementation of the various tasks and activities required by the permit are handled by the most closely-related City department according to the specific task(s) including; Public Works Engineering, Development Services, Public Works (maintenance), Facilities, and Parks & Recreation. The Stormwater Engineer provides oversight of the Permit and receives direct reports from each responsible City department on related activities and programs. This is accomplished through annual reporting as well as quarterly and as-needed meetings. ---PAGE BREAK--- 1: Introduction City of Puyallup 2014 1-3 1.4 Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Compliance Issues Stormwater discharges covered under the Permit are required to implement actions necessary to achieve the pollutant reductions called for in applicable Applicable are which have been approved by the EPA before the issuance date of the permit or which have been approved by the EPA prior to the date the permittee’s application is received by Ecology. Information on Ecology’s TMDL program is available on Ecology’s website at www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/tmdl. All approved by EPA before February 15, 2006, were reviewed by Ecology to determine whether stormwater including municipal stormwater sources were identified in the TMDL. When most of these were developed, municipal stormwater was considered a subset of non-point discharges, rather than a permitted discharge. As a result, very few statewide contain requirements for municipal stormwater sources. Few completed to date have established load allocations or waste load allocations for municipal stormwater discharges covered under the Permit. Ecology is interpreting TMDL requirements as follows:  For where stormwater was not identified as a source of the pollutants of concern, or if all of the sources were defined in the TMDL, Ecology considers the MS4 not to be a significant contributor of pollutants.  Where stormwater was identified as a source of pollutants and the TMDL or implementation plans developed to support the TMDL identified control measures were less than or equivalent to the requirements of this permit, Ecology sets a narrative effluent limit: “compliance with the permit compliance constitutes compliance with the TMDL.”  If stormwater was identified as a source of pollutants and specific WLAs, LAs or control measures were established, Ecology must develop effluent limits in addition to the other requirements of the permit. These effluent limits may be narrative or numeric depending on the control measures set by the TMDL or implementation plans. Where a TMDL or the detailed implementation plan developed for the TMDL identifies actions or activities beyond what is required by this permit, Ecology has identified the additional requirements in Appendix 2 of the permit for all approved by EPA prior to February 15, 2006. Appendix 2 of the permit lists the cities and counties affected by the TMDL. 1.5 Document Organization The content in this document is based upon Permit requirements and Ecology’s Draft Guidance for City and County Annual Reports for Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permits. The remainder of the Stormwater Management Program document is organized similarly to the Permit:  Section 2.0 addresses Permit requirements for administration of the City’s Stormwater Management Program for 2014.  Section 3.0 addresses Permit requirements for Public Education and Outreach for 2014.  Section 4.0 addresses Permit requirements for Public Involvement and Participation for 2014.  Section 5.0 addresses Permit requirements for Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination for 2014.  Section 6.0 addresses Permit requirements for Controlling Runoff from New Development, Redevelopment and Construction Sites for 2014.  Section 7.0 addresses Permit requirements for Pollution Prevention and Operation and Maintenance for Municipal Operations for 2014. ---PAGE BREAK--- 1: Introduction City of Puyallup 2014 1-4  Section 8.0 addresses Permit requirements for the Water Quality Monitoring section of the Permit for 2014. Each section includes a summary of the relevant Permit requirements and a description of current and planned compliance activities. ---PAGE BREAK--- 2. Stormwater Management Program Administration City of Puyallup 2014 2-1 CITY OF PUYALLUP 2014 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM 2 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION This Section describes Permit requirements related to overall Stormwater Management Program administration, including current and planned compliance activities. 2.1 Permit Requirements The Permit (Section S5.A) requires the City to:  Develop and implement a Stormwater Management Program and prepare written documentation for submittal to Ecology on March 31, 2008; and update the annually thereafter. The purpose of the Stormwater Management Program is to reduce the discharge of pollutants from the municipal stormwater system to the maximum extent practicable (MEP) thereby protecting water quality. The Stormwater Management Program Report is to include the actions and activities described in Sections 3 through 8 of this  Submit annual reports beginning in 2008 to Ecology by March 31st (for the previous calendar year). These reports are to summarize SWMP implementation status and present information from assessment and evaluation activities conducted during the reporting period. 2.2 Current Activities The City currently has in place activities and programs that meet the Permit requirements. Current activities associated with the above Permit requirements include:  The City is on track to comply with Ecology’s requirements for submittal of the documentation by March 31, 2014. The Public Works Department, with the assistance of an internal Steering Committee, is currently leading City development of the future planned activities.  The City has set up the systems for tracking training by individual departments. The desire for the future is to work closely with the City’s HR department for tracking of training activities.  The City has defined its strategy for cost tracking (Finance).  The City is on track to comply with Ecology’s requirements for submittal of the seventh Annual Report and by March 31, 2014. 2.3 Planned Activities Puyallup has positioned itself well to maintain compliance as Ecology phases in the future Permit deadlines. Table 2-1 presents the proposed work plan for the 2014 administration activities. These tasks will continue to be refined through an iterative process of interviews and workshops with staff from affected City departments. ---PAGE BREAK--- 2.

The 2014 program is discussed in detail in the ‘2014 City of Puyallup Stormwater Education and Outreach Plan’, found in Appendix D. The plan outlines the outreach activities and programs the City will implement in order to achieve measurable improvements in the various target audiences’ understanding of stormwater and ways to improve and protect water quality. Several of the activities and programs implemented prior to 2014 will be continued, including the 2013 programs and activities, some of which are outlined below:  Stormwater Management webpage Continued updating and management of this education and outreach component includes: posting information and documents related to stormwater, listing public service announcements, promoting stormwater education and outreach events, and posting the telephone number for the City’s Illicit Discharge Hotline.  Puyallup’s Rain Garden Program During 2013 this program included the installation of 2 rain gardens, 6 rain barrels, and 1 permeable pavement installations in the basin of a TMDL-affected stream. Completing five years of implementation, 2013 brought significant interest in the program, while transitioning to a cost-share program that promotes citizen involvement in the process to garner a deeper sense of ownership in the project and installations.  Educational Flyers/Materials/Promotion through City (non-Stormwater) Outlets The City strives to include stormwater-related information in City publications when possible. For example, in 2013 the fall clean-up brochures included articles related to stormwater pollution prevention. In addition, the quarterly Puyallup Today newsletter often highlights events of the Stormwater Department.  Silver-Meeker Creek Restoration. Providing education and outreach as well as serving to improve water quality in our local streams, Silver and Meeker creeks have been the focus of riparian restoration for the ---PAGE BREAK--- 3: Public Education and Outreach City of Puyallup 2014 3-2 City for several years now. This past year, 2013, hosted several volunteer events at which several hundred native plants were installed, invasive weeds were cleared, soft walking trails installed, and over 200 people were educated about the importance of riparian zones, the impact we have on our waterways, and how they can help improve water quality in our streams, lakes and rivers.  Fish Friendly Car Wash Program. This education and outreach program serves to not only share facts on the effects of car wash water in our storm system, but to also inspire environmental stewardship in our citizens. In 2013 this program was promoted to local businesses in conjunction with the newly- implemented Local Source Control program. As a supportive element to this program, the City purchased and distributed the Puget Sound Car Wash Association car wash vouchers to use as a launching point for conversations and education on the fish-friendly program. In 2014 the City will distribute brochures highlighting what the program is and how it benefits our environment. The brochures will go out to those who might be hosting the car wash event or the facility where it is located. Currently the City has two car wash kits that may be checked out, it is the City’s goal to increase the number of kits, by increasing the want and need for them. 3.3 Local Source Control The program was launched in 2012 as an outreach program targeting local businesses that provided training and education on the effects of their business practices on the environment. The Local Source Control Program provides one-on-one site visits of business facilities to help operators and managers identify potential environmental risks, hazards, and ways to reduce their waste and exposure to regulatory violations. In 2014 our main focus is the Automotive Industry, Gasoline Stations and Property Management Companies, with the anticipation to reach additional businesses once this focus group is completed. 3.4 Planned Activities The City plans to expand its Education and Outreach program in 2014 through the continued expansion of collaborative partnerships with local organizations and other permittees including involvement in the local EcoNet group, regional STORM group, and local SOG group as a subset of STORM. In addition, the City hopes for continued funding for the upcoming biennium from Washington Department of Ecology to continue the Local Source Control Program to the City. The City had previously adopted and incorporated the Puget Sound Starts Here logo on its catch basin markers and is continuing to integrate the branding on publications where possible, to build on the regional efforts to build a recognizable brand and message across jurisdictions. The City of Puyallup has also worked closely with other jurisdictions when opportunities have presented themselves. The City’s active participation in the Puget Sound NPDES Coordinators Group has helped identify some of those opportunities. Table 3-1 is a work plan that summarizes the anticipated 2014 public education and outreach activities including those that will be continued from 2013 and detailing anticipated expansions of the program to include new focus on audiences such as school-age children.

The City’s current Permit does not include TMDL requirements because there were no EPA-approved affecting the City prior to the cut-off date (February 2006) for inclusion in the current Permit.  Any sampling or testing required for characterizing illicit discharges pursuant to the Permit’s Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE) conditions.  Preparation for future, comprehensive, long-term water quality monitoring efforts consistent with current Phase I monitoring requirements. According to the Permit, this program would include two components: 1) general stormwater quality monitoring and, 2) targeted Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) effectiveness monitoring. The stormwater monitoring is intended to characterize stormwater runoff quantity and quality at a limited number of locations. This characterization would allow for analysis of pollutants and changes in conditions over time and across the City. The SWMP effectiveness monitoring is intended to improve stormwater management efforts by evaluating various stormwater controls. Results of the monitoring will be used to support the adaptive management process for improving programs over time.  Identification of two outfalls where permanent stormwater sampling stations can be installed and operated for future monitoring (by the end of the Permit term and with the 4th Annual Report). The two outfalls must represent commercial, high-density residential, and industrial land uses. The monitoring shall include plans for stormwater, sediment or receiving water monitoring of physical, chemical, and/or biological characteristics.  Identification of two suitable SWMP Program questions and sites where targeted SWMP Program effectiveness monitoring can be conducted together with development of a monitoring plan for these questions and sites. The proposed effectiveness monitoring should be prepared to answer the following types of questions: • How effective is a specific targeted action or a narrow suite of actions? • Is the Stormwater Management Program achieving a targeted environmental outcome? In addition, the City is required to provide the following monitoring and/or assessment data in Annual Reports:  A description of stormwater monitoring or studies conducted by the City during the reporting period. If stormwater monitoring was conducted on behalf of the City, or if studies or investigations conducted by ---PAGE BREAK--- 8: Monitoring City of Puyallup 2014 8-2 other entities were reported to the City, a brief description of the type of information gathered or received shall be included in the Annual Report.  An assessment of the appropriateness of the best management practices(BMP) identified by the City for components of the Stormwater Management Program; and changes made, or anticipated to be made, to the practices that were previously selected to implement the Stormwater Management Program and why those changes are desirable. 8.2 Current Activities The City, in partnership with the Puyallup Tribe and Department of Ecology, conducted a 15-month monitoring program for the Clarks Creek Watershed Pollution Reduction Project. The monitoring results were used to identify pollutant sources and estimate pollutant loads. The results of the monitoring are described in the Clarks Creek Watershed Pollution Reduction Project Submittal Report (URS and Brown and Caldwell, February 2005). 8.3 Planned Activities Beginning in the current permit term (August 2013 through July 2018), the City will begin to participate in Ecology’s monitoring and assessment program. The program requires each jurisdiction to pay a specific monetary amount in order to address a specific element that needs to be addressed as a part of the NPDES. These include Status and Trends, Effectiveness, and Source Identification. Table 8-1 presents the work plan for 2014 SWMP monitoring activities.

Due to the overlapping permit coverage in 2013, the monitoring falls under two permits, the 2012 “interim” permit, and the newly issued 2013 to 2018 permit that will take effect as of August 1, 2013. The interim permit is still required to fall under the old monitoring requirements that were established for the 2007-2012 permit. These requirements are outlined in section 1 and 2, and will be effective from January 1, 2013 to July 31, 2013. On August 1, 2103, the new five year permit requirements will take effect. These requirements are outlined in section 3. Section 2 2.0 August 1, 2013 Phase II Permit Monitoring Requirements In 2008, Ecology convened the Puget Sound Stormwater Workgroup (SWG) to develop a comprehensive, sustainable, stormwater monitoring strategy for Puget Sound, as well as monitoring requirements for the next Phase I and Phase II permits. The SWG members represent caucuses of local, state, and federal agencies, environmental and business organizations, tribes and agriculture. The SWG submitted the comprehensive strategy in July 2010 to Ecology (in a document titled 2010 Stormwater Monitoring and Assessment Strategy for the Puget Sound Region). Based on this strategy, the SWG submitted monitoring recommendations for the next NPDES Phase I and II permits on October 29, 2010, in a document titled Recommendations for Municipal Stormwater Permit Monitoring). The SWG recommends that Ecology designate an independent entity to administer the stormwater-related monitoring and assessment activities in the next municipal stormwater permits. This recommendation is called the “pay-in” option. The SWG recommended receiving water monitoring rather than the outfall monitoring described in the current Phase II Permit. Moreover, the SWG recommended that the regional entity (rather than by each permittee) administer the program effectiveness monitoring and focus on questions of regional significance. More information on the SWG is available at http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/psmonitoring/swworkgroup.html. The Phase II Permit regulates stormwater discharges for small municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) as established in Title 40 CFR, part 122.26. The Phase II Permit, issued in 2012 and effective on August 1, 2013, includes requirements for permittees to pay into a collective fund developed and administered by Ecology . The Phase II Monitoring Program described in Section S8.C includes three types of monitoring: • Stormwater Status and Trends Monitoring (S8.B). Puyallup’s portion is $9,498. • Stormwater Program Effectiveness Studies (S8.C). Puyallup’s portion is $15,826. • Stormwater Source identification and Diagnostic Monitoring (S8.D). Puyallup’s portion is $1,468. Status and Trends Monitoring (S8.B) will implement a RSMP (Regional Stormwater Monitoring Program) for small streams and marine nearshore status and tends monitoring program for the Puget Sound. Effectiveness Monitoring (S8.C) will implement RSMP effectiveness studies. ---PAGE BREAK--- B-6 Source identification and Diagnostic Monitoring (S8.D) will implement RSMP Source Identification Information Repository (SIDIR) for the state. By opting to participate in the collective fund option, the City will fully satisfy its obligations under the Monitoring and Assessment section of the 2013-2018 permit. This is also the most cost effective way since the alternative method to meet this requirement is not financially feasible to the City. ---PAGE BREAK--- C-1 APPENDIX C 2014 Effectiveness Monitoring Plan ---PAGE BREAK--- C-2 This page left intentionally blank ---PAGE BREAK--- C-3 CITY OF PUYALLUP FUTURE STORMWATER AND SWMP EFFECTIVENESS MONITORING PLAN Prepared by City of Puyallup Public Works Department December, 2013 ---PAGE BREAK--- C-4 This page left intentionally blank ---PAGE BREAK--- C-5 Section 1 Effectiveness Monitoring Overview This section provides a brief overview of the monitoring requirements that are set forth in the Washington State Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit for Western Washington (Phase II Permit).

All programs and activities will be implementing based on available funding, grants, and staffing levels, with all minimum requirements of the met. Scope The following activities encompass the plan for educating the public, businesses, and City staff on the importance and impact of stormwater management, as well as the regulatory requirements that may pertain to citizens and business owners. Overview Puyallup’s PE&O efforts are divided based on audience: Public and Business. This division of efforts relates to funding sources and current programs within the City. Where possible, efforts are combined to realize benefits of leveraging efforts and funds. The Outreach Plans detailed below include individual projects and programs designed to deliver stormwater pollution prevention and water quality improvement messages to the relevant audiences. Each Plan is designed and implemented as a living document, allowing for program/project changes to meet the available funding, staffing levels, and audience needs. Outreach Plans Public-Oriented Outreach Plans Rain Gardens This program will continue into its 7th year in 2014. Based on the six-year foundation of successful projects within the City, this program has received dedicated funding from the Stormwater Budget in 2014. Coordination with Pierce Conservation District Stream will continue. The 2014 program will be the second transition year as a cost-share program that promotes active homeowner/citizen involvement in the design, building, and on-going maintenance of rain gardens, permeable pavements, and rain barrels on private properties. City involvement in this program and support to citizen participants includes design guidance, training, and partial cost reimbursement. The program as a whole will include various LID elements, further detailed in sections below, such as: • Rain gardens ---PAGE BREAK--- D-4 • Permeable pavements • Rain barrels • Riparian planting Porous Driveway Initiative This program has been incorporated into the larger umbrella program: Rain Garden Program, and will continue in 2014 utilizing the dedicated budget funding as well as grant funding received in 2013 (expiring in April 2014). Goals for this program include: • Demonstration of LID technique(s) to homeowners • Reduce stormwater runoff volume and associated pollutant loading • Focus on Clarks Creek Basin Riparian/Streamside Plantings In 2013 a stand-along program to promote planting of streamside properties in the Clarks Creek basin (along Meeker, Silver, and Clarks creeks) was developed and will continue in 2014. This program is funded with grant monies, and provides design assistance, coordination of volunteers for installation efforts, and no-cost plants to homeowners interested in restoring their riparian zones along these creeks. Based on positive feedback received in the fall of 2013, mailings will be completed in 2014 to again promote the program, educate the public, and gain additional interest and involvement in this program. Porous Alley Initiative The first two years of this Initiative resulted in the retrofit of three alley locations, as well as pre-design of five additional locations. In addition, support from Puyallup’s Street Department has resulted in the retrofit of various shoulder areas in the City as “Porous Shoulders” to address drainage and standing-water issues. It is anticipated that the designed alleys will be constructed in spring 2014. When the existing grant funding is depleted, Puyallup will evaluate the program and identify additional alley locations that would benefit from this program as well as provide water quality benefits back to the watershed while evaluating potential funding sources to continue the program. Again, alleys in the Clarks Creek basin will be addressed first. Where and when possible, excavation of the existing alley and installation of the aggregate layers will be done by City crews. The goal of this program is to provide demonstration sites for porous asphalt as an LID technique in the community to increase the public, and local businesses understanding of its application and function. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Artwork Contest/Calendar Program The design phase of the first-year Stormwater Calendar Program (completed in 2013) successfully educated over 100 school-age children directly, and many more citizens through the distribution of the calendars. The reach of this program will continue throughout 2013 as each month in the calendar includes a call-to-action for citizens to learn about stormwater or complete actual stormwater pollution prevention activities. This program will continue with implementation of the 2013-based effort as well as development and design of a 2015 calendar to extend into the next reporting period. Business-Oriented Outreach Plans Local Source Control Program Funding through an interagency agreement with Ecology, the City will tailor and implement the Local Source Control (LSC) Program in partnership with Ecology and in collaboration with other regional LSC Programs as well as supporting local organizations including WSU-Puyallup and the Washington Stormwater Center. ---PAGE BREAK--- D-5 This program will provide a focused educational program for local businesses, specifically small quantity generators of dangerous waste, to identify sources of pollution on business sites and adopt and implement good housekeeping BMPs. This program is working hand-in-hand with the Fish Friendly Car Wash Program and the Private Catch Basin Marking Program to bring awareness not only to business owners but also to the general public Fish Friendly Car Wash Program Implemented as a local-concern focus of the LSC Specialist and program, the City has developed the Fish Friendly Car Wash (FFCW) Program to include cooperation with local businesses to serve as points-of- presence and destinations for hosting community FFCW events. The program is used to not only prevent stormwater runoff pollution from car wash activities – such as fund- raising events – but also to educate the public on the effects of soap and other pollutants when they enter the stormwater system as well as ways to prevent this pollution. Private Catch Basin Marking To expand the reach and influence of the Only Rain Down the Drain catch basin marker program, the City will expand the program to include marking of storm drains on private property including areas such as the Puyallup Fair Grounds, South Hill Mall, and other businesses with significant visibility and foot traffic. The City will consult with business owners during site visits with in the LSC program to obtain permissions to mark the drains on private property. Illicit Discharge, Detection, and Elimination (IDDE) Program Dissemination of IDDE awareness and education will again be an added focus to the City’s outreach and education program as part of other existing efforts. In addition, the IDDE message will be expanded further with the creation of a Local Source Control (LSC) position to deliver the message directly to local businesses. This position will also offer support to identify, control, reduce, or eliminate pollutant sources and stormwater runoff by offering technical assistance and information on Best Management Practices (BMP’s). Educational Messages The goal of the 2014 Education and Outreach Plan is to deliver to the community various stormwater- related messages while inspiring specific actions that address pollution prevention, LID techniques and applications, stormwater management, and impacts to our local waterways. Each Education and Outreach Program will strive to incorporate the following messages and invoke actions: • The cumulative effort of individual citizens can create significant impacts/detriments to our waterways • Only Rain Down the Drain – general message • Fish Friendly Car Washing • Scoop Fido’s Poo • Streamside Landscaping • Don’t Feed the Ducks! • Plant a Rain Garden • Remove Impervious Surfaces (pave permeably!) • Get Disconnected from the stormwater system • LID applications: permeable pavement, rain gardens, rain barrels, green roofs ---PAGE BREAK--- D-6
