Back to Stormwater Quality

Introduction

Congratulations! You are now an Earth Smart Citizen for Stormwater Quality! We are so glad you decided to take action to improve our neighborhoods.

Let’s review all that you have accomplished. 

• Action 1: You have identified pollutants outside of your home and learned how they impact water quality downstream where plants and animals live and people play.
• Action 2: You have found the drains in your yard and reported on their condition.
• Action 3: You have found 5 storm drain curb inlets in your street gutter  and reported their condition to the city.
• ​Action 4: You have learned about and found the actions taken by your city to reduce stormwater pollutants coming from your neighborhood. 
• Action 5: You have created your own solutions to reduce pollutants coming from your neighborhood.
• Action 6: You have evaluated and expanded on that work to involve your neighbors and reach your community. 

​At the end of each action you responded to questions about your observations and activities.  We have added these responses to those of your neighbors throughout your area and reported them to your city.  This body of information will help stormwater regulators through the state!  Thank you.

​In this final action, you will provide feedback on your experience, share the news and get recognized for what you have accomplished.
