1 Pickens Countywide Your Company Name Stormwater Consortium Annual Report of Activities May April 2011 June 2011
2 Executive Summary In the fourth year of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit for Stormwater Discharges from regulated Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (SMS4s) for Pickens County, the Cities of Easley, Liberty, Pickens, and Pickens County along with educational partner organizations continued stormwater education initiatives as the Pickens Countywide Stormwater Consortium (PCSC). The PCSC partnership, which began in 2008, is responsible for addressing the minimum control measures one and two stated within the NPDES permit. These measures direct MS4 communities to deliver public education and outreach programs while having public involvement and participation. Using the 303(d) List of Impaired Waterbodies, the Public Perception Survey results (Appendix A), and feedback from stormwater professionals in the county, the PCSC identified target pollutants and audiences to draft the adaptive Annual Education Plan (pages 5-6) for the Activity Year, May 1, 2010 through April 30, The plan was targeted at key interest groups including the general public, professionals involved in land use and development, homeowners, youth, and the business community. Overall, stormwater awareness was retained as the major focus of the educational process, with emphasis placed on pollutants of concern including bacteria, sediment, and nutrients. The PCSC grew with the addition of new educational partners and worked together to increase awareness of stormwater issues. The consortium remains dedicated to protecting water resources and increasing water stewardship throughout Pickens County by providing stormwater educational and involvement opportunities to all citizens. We are excited about this collaborative educational opportunity being facilitated by Clemson University and Carolina Clear. We feel strongly that a regional approach, along with the cities of Easley, Pickens and Liberty will allow us to convey our important water quality messages in a more efficient manner. -Scottie Ferguson Stormwater Manager Pickens County If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water.

5 Education Partners The PCSC members have continued to recruit agencies, organizations and individuals that share an interest in educating the public about stormwater pollutant issues to become members of the consortium team. This educational partnership ensures a uniform and consistent message while leveraging valuable resources, organizational strengths, and collaboration to reduce duplication of efforts. With these partnerships established, the PCSC remains dedicated to developing and delivering effective, outcome-based educational programming throughout the watershed.

6 Goals & Objectives Strategic Goal To develop and implement a broad based education program that informs citizens about the issues of stormwater management and explains the role they and the business community can play in solving these issues. Core Objectives 1. Maximize efficiency of stormwater education efforts using a countywide regional approach. 2. Help local SMS4s meet NPDES Phase II Stormwater Program permit requirements for public stormwater education, public involvement, and illicit discharge detection by providing educational resources and services such as public education, outreach and community involvement. 3. Develop a comprehensive stormwater education plan for the region that capitalizes on local training resources to meet the needs of local SMS4s. 4. Serve as a model for collaborative stormwater education. A river is more than an amenity - it is a treasure that offers a necessity of life that must be rationed among those who have the power over it. -Oliver Wendell Holmes Lake Keowee Goals and Objectives 3
7 In compliance with Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act, each state and territory submits a list of monitored waterways that do not meet their designated water quality standard for one or more parameters as per available guidance. This list is also known as the list of Impaired Waterbodies, and it is used to determine if the waterway s impairment can be addressed through designating a Total Maximum Daily Load, or TMDL. Therefore, TMDL may refer to the calculation of a pollutant entering a waterbody as well as a document which outlines potential sources of that pollutant within a watershed, information on the calculation, and relevant information including maps, figures and pictures. The map to the right shows the TMDL watersheds that have been approved and affect the Pickens region. The Pickens region has several other listed impaired waters on the 303(d) list with TMDL target dates ranging from Listed waters causes of impairments include turbidity, macroinvertebrates, copper, fecal coliform, polychlorinated biphenyls, and hydrogen ion concentration. The TMDL process is a regulatory process; therefore, there are many ways in which a TMDL can play a role in local government decision-making. For our regional education effort, the TMDL process is an important consideration because it offers data on what the water quality concerns are within the region and potentially, if they are related to stormwater. Using this information, the consortium can better decide what pollutants or behaviors should be targeted for education and public involvement. Pickens County TMDLs Pickens County TMDLs 4

37 Conclusions The PCSC remains committed to helping the citizens of Pickens County understand stormwater issues as well as how to protect the quality of their water by preventing stormwater pollution. The emphasis of efforts this past Activity Year, May 1, 2010 to April 30, 2011, was to continue and build on collaboration of stormwater education in the county. The primary audiences reached included the general public, professionals involved in land use and development, homeowners, youth, and the business community. Stormwater education efforts focused on general stormwater awareness with emphasis on fecal coliform bacteria from pet waste, nutrients from landscape practices, and sediment from erosion on construction sites and from diffuse sources. Efforts also take into account other pollutants moving through the Pickens County watersheds due to stormwater runoff. As we enter into the next activity year, the PCSC will continue to strengthen its partnerships and education plan to reach its strategic goal. Working together to educate, the PCSC helps citizens learn about and gain an appreciation of water resources which results in increased involvement in water resource protection and stewardship within the watersheds of Pickens County.
