1 Quarterly Report NWA Regional Storm Water Education Program August - October 2007 Task 2 - Educational Material Development 2.1 Develop storm water fact sheets, brochures and posters A series of eight urban stormwater 10-question Watershed Challenge quizzes were developed for the Illinois River Watershed Partnership s weekly challenge. Weekly topics ranged from Watersheds 101, Only Rain Down the Drain, Vehicle Maintenance, and Lawn and Garden Care to Managing Waste, Erosion Control, Mulching and Composting, and Rain Barrels. One-page resource sheets that included several paragraphs of background information and bulleted lists of key points and viewer actions were developed for Drew Michaels (ABC 40/29 s Chief Meteorologist) for each of his 8-week Watershed Wednesdays. Fact sheets were developed on Rain Barrels and Rain Gardens Capture the Flow and Watch it Grow!. Finalized and printed the Illinois River Watershed educational poster/map. A tri-fold brochure summarizing the NWA Regional Urban Stormwater Education Program and providing quick tips on protecting stormwater runoff was developed and is awaiting printing. 2.2 Develop storm water briefs Press releases were developed on the Illinois River Watershed Partnership s online My Watershed Challenge and the Rain Barrel Workshop/ My Watershed Challenge grand prize drawing event at the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks.
