2015 PUBLIC EDUCATION & OUTREACH: Cleveland Division of Water Pollution Control (WPC), Stormwater Manager for the City of Cleveland

2015 Overall Theme: The City of Cleveland celebrated the Year of Clean Water in 2015 as part of Mayor Frank G. Jackson’s Sustainable Cleveland 2019 initiative. All WPC messages promoted clean water and stormwater control best management practices (BMP). The messages included were Only Rain Down the Storm Drain; Do The Right Thing, Keep Storm Drains Clean!

The Only Rain Down the Storm Drain campaign continued to encourage people to make a difference by learning and implementing stormwater BMPs. Messaging was reinforced with multi-layered communication methods, including social media, the WPC website, billboard, and brochures. Messages promoted protecting and conserving local water resources and sewer infrastructure by encouraging residents to be more aware of what goes down sewer storm drains and by reducing stormwater runoff, using various stormwater control measures, such as rain barrels and rain gardens. Residents were informed that illegal dumping, leaving pet waste on the ground, and the improper disposal of many household chemicals can contaminate local waterways and contribute to water pollution. General watershed and stormwater education and awareness activities and projects occurred in the background to provide context for the clean water themes. WPC teamed with the Adopt-A-Beach/Euclid Beach team on the Plastics Perch Project. Trash collected from beach and stream cleanups was used to construct a wood-framed, fish-shaped, structure filled with plastic debris to illustrate the kind of pollution that affects the quality of water resources, such as Lake Erie—Northeast Ohio’s main source of drinking water and its primary water recreation area. The Plastics Perch was displayed with educational signage at the Cleveland Great Lakes Science Center during Great Lakes Adventure Week in June, at the Cleveland Aquarium from August through October, and during other times at the WPC facility entrance. WPC also participated for the first time in the county-wide RiverSweep, Ohio’s largest done-in-a-day community cleanup effort. WPC sponsored a cleanup site at the Mill Creek waterfalls and nearby hike & bike trails in the Garfield Metropark. Volunteers at the Mill Creek site totaled 148, the largest ever at that location. Throughout the city, more than 54 tons of trash and 389 tires were collected in total from nine RiverSweep locations. WPC hosted four formal tours of the stormwater management demonstration project at its Kirby Avenue facility. The largest tour was more than 70 people, as part of a seminar coordinated by the Ohio EPA Office of Compliance Assistance & Pollution Prevention. The seminar—Improving Long-Term Maintenance of Storm Water Management Practices—was held at Cleveland’s Collin Recreation Center, which is a green structure that also has a rain garden. The tour group was interested in how WPC stores and uses 15,000 gallons of rain water on its property, including for washing vehicles and landscape irrigation. Three other tours combined included more than 60 high school students. WPC’s demonstration project showcases best practices for stormwater control in an urban setting through the use of bio-retention basins (rain gardens and bioswales), pervious pavements, and rain water recycling. During 2015, WPC also took the Year of Clean Water’s Water Bottle Pledge. No commercial water bottles were allowed at meetings or events held at WPC. The division distributed re-usable Water bottles with WPC’s logo and Only Rain Down the Storm Drain message, and which contained stormwater literature. Overall 2015 PIPE Program Goal: Reach at least 10% of the City of Cleveland’s population with a targeted message (reach 50% over the five-year term). During 2015, WPC participated in 59 community events, at which more than 20,000 pieces of literature was distributed, and a combined sewer model and a do-it-yourself painted rain barrel was on display at most events. Below is a list of WPC’s 2015 public information/public education events that were specifically related to stormwater control efforts. A complete list of events and community participation follows the chart. Each event was an opportunity to share information about WPC sewer maintenance services, its role as the City of Cleveland’s stormwater manager, and to educate the public about the impact stormwater runoff has on the environment, population health and safety, and the City of Cleveland’s sewer infrastructure. Target Audience based on Total Population of Cleveland: 396,830 Single Family, Owner-Occupied Households: Approximately 75,285

2015 PUBLIC EDUCATION & OUTREACH: Cuyahoga Soil & Water Conservation District and the Euclid Creek Watershed Coordinator, both on behalf of the City of Cleveland 2015 Overall Theme: Honey, I Shrunk the Lawn! In urban and suburban areas, lawns can be a significant contributor to non-point source pollution. Compacted soils, short-rooted turf grass and excessive use of fertilizers and other lawn care chemicals cause lawns to generate increased amounts of runoff, nutrients, pesticides and herbicides, all of which negatively impact the health of aquatic systems. By replacing portions of turfed, traditionally managed lawn area with native trees, shrubs, wildflowers and/or grasses, the negative impact of lawn runoff on water quality can be reduced. Likewise, simple changes in lawn management practices can reduce the pollution contribution from lawns. Overall PIPE Program Goal: Reach at least 10% of the City of Cleveland’s population with a targeted message (so as to reach 50% over the 5-year term). Estimate Cleveland’s Permit Area’s Total Population: 396,830

Targeted mailing of “Keep Your Yard Green and Our Waters Clean” brochure

Goal 1: The number of homeowners demonstrating awareness of watershed-friendly landscaping/lawn care techniques will increase by at least 10%, and at least 0.1% of homeowners will incorporate watershed-friendly practices during the 5-year permit term. Goal 2: The number of residents indicating knowledge of stormwater issues and solutions will increase by 10% by the end of the 5-year permit term. Goal 3: During the five-year permit term, there will be a 10% increase in members of the general public who indicate what a watershed is and in which watershed they live.

Message 1: Converting lawn areas to trees, shrubs, wildflowers or prairie grasses, or simply letting a portion of the lawn ‘go natural’ leads to improved soil health, increased rain water infiltration and reduced pollution from lawn runoff. Message 2: Small changes to lawn care routines can significantly reduce the pollution contribution from lawn and turf areas.

2015 PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT/PARTICIPATION: Cuyahoga Soil & Water Conservation District for the City of Cleveland 2015 Overall Theme: Honey, I Shrunk the Lawn! In urban and suburban areas, lawns can be a significant contributor to non-point source pollution. Compacted soils, short-rooted turf grass and excessive use of fertilizers and other lawn care chemicals cause lawns to generate increased amounts of runoff, nutrients, pesticides and herbicides, all of which negatively impact the health of aquatic systems. By replacing portions of turfed, traditionally managed lawn area with native trees, shrubs, wildflowers and/or grasses, the negative impact of lawns on water quality is also reduced. Likewise, simple changes in lawn management practices can reduce the pollution contribution from lawns.
