Town of Hillsborough Stormwater Management Program 13 <br /> Work Plan September 2010 <br /> STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM <br /> The following sections describe the Town's stormwater management program and <br /> measurable goals for each BMP. Measurable goals are based on the Town's current <br /> NPDES Phase II permit, original stormwater management plan, and modifications <br /> needed to best meet the objectives of the Town's Stormwater Program during its initial <br /> implementation. While the six BMPs are not expected to change over the life of this <br /> stormwater management plan, measurable goals may be modified, removed, or new <br /> goals added. Changes may be necessary to meet permit renewal requirements, <br /> changes in resources, or to be more effective in reducing impacts to the MS4. <br /> Modifications to these goals will be documented within the required annual report. <br /> 1. Public Education and Outreach <br /> The Town's stormwater public education and outreach program includes <br /> dissemination of educational materials, stormwater newsletter, school programs <br /> centered on earth day celebrations, stormwater best management practices (BMPs) <br /> demonstration site at Stillhouse Creek, and membership in the Clean Water <br /> Education Partnership. <br /> Measurable Goals <br /> • Develop and Distribute Materials <br /> Develop educational materials or modify/utilize existing materials available from <br /> other agencies. Distribute educational materials through educational programs, <br /> local events (such as Hog Day, Eno River Festival, Last Friday's, etc.) and place <br /> informational flyers at Town Hall, the Orange County Library, and the Orange <br /> County Planning and Inspections Department. <br /> • Stormwater Newsletter <br /> Write articles and publish The Stom7water Almanac a local newsletter developed <br /> by Orange County stormwater staff, two to four times annually. Paper copies of <br /> the newsletter will be distributed at various events and educational programs. <br /> Work with the Town's public information officer to post the newsletter on the <br /> Town's website and send a notification when a new issue is available to those <br /> subscribed to the Town's email notification list. <br /> • School Programs <br /> Partner with other local government departments conducting environmental <br /> education to conduct school programs. This includes participation in established <br /> Earth Day and Earth Walk programs coordinated by Orange Soil and Water <br /> Conservation District (OSWCD). Support other departments such as Orange <br /> County Parks and Recreation and Environment and Resource Conservation <br /> Department (ERCD) that also conduct school programs. Continue support of the <br /> "eco-classroom" at C.W. Stanford and Orange High Schools, which has a strong <br /> stormwater education component. <br /> Page 11 of 27 <br />
