Program
The PTWQP's education program includes four types of outreach materials: brochures, watershed signs, television ads and this website.

General Pollution Prevention Brochure

General Pollution Prevention Brochure - This informational brochure was designed by the PTWQP with guidance from the City of Greensboro's Stormwater Management Division. It contains information about non-point source pollution for adults as well as activites for school age children. The brochures are being distributed in the schools, at City/County facilities, and in some cases mailed directly to local citizens. To view the brochure, please click here.   To view a Spanish language version of the brochure, please click here .

Lenny the Lifeguard
The Partnership created a 3-D animated 30 minute TV ad featuring a frog character named “Lenny the Lifeguard”. Lenny will serve as the official mascot for the partnership, promoting stormwater pollution prevention through various advertisements targeting children in the Piedmont Triad Area. Download Lenny the Lifeguard coloring page  here.

Construction Site Flyer
	The Partnership's Construction Site Flyer was created in 2005 to specifically target pollution prevention at construction sites.  The information in the brochure was reformatted from an EPA poster into a manageable sized flyer that can easily be distributed to contractors when they apply for local government construction permits.

Watershed Signs
	Watershed Signs - 146 signs were placed along major streams in the Triad identifying the watershed name and in some cases the individual stream name. These watershed signs serve as a long-term reminder that we are all connected by water.

Television Ads

Two television spots were created by the PTWQP. One ad focused on the stormwater problems associated with litter and the other focused on proper fertilizer usage in the area. These television ads ran in the Spring of 2004.

Website
	The PTWQP website is used to provide information and updates about the PTWQP, as well as information about nonpoint source pollution and steps you can take to protect water quality.

Business Workplace Flyer and Poster
	The Partnership's Business Flyer and Poster  were created in 2006 to educate companies about pollution prevention at the workplace. The flyer and poster can be easily distributed to various types of business owners.

Carolina Yards and Neighborhoods

Carolina Yards and Neighborhoods is a landscaping program designed to teach people how to efficiently maintain their lawns and protect the environment at the same time.  Carolina Yards and Neighborhoods was adapted from a similar program created by the University of Florida  IFAS.  The NC Cooperative Extension Service along with the Piedmont Triad Water Quality Partnership worked together to bring this pilot program to North Carolina.  The Piedmont Yardstick Workbook, an essential resource that accompanies this progam, is offered to individuals that attend a scheduled workshop at a local NC Cooperative Extension agency. To find out more about the CYN program click here, or contact Joy Sparks of the Piedmont Triad Regional Water Authority at 547-8437 to request a speaker.

Drain Markers

Many individuals do not realize that runoff containing various pollutants flows directly into our lakes and streams untreated.  As another component in the continous effort to educate the public about important water related issues, drain markers were purchased in 2005 by a few members in the partnership.  Installation of drain markers on storm drain inlets is a simple and easy task that can be performed by various community organizations.

Used Motor Oil

Proper Disposal of Used Motor Oil Used motor oil, when disposed of improperly, can contaminate our water supply.  Motor oil should never be dumped into a storm drain, drainage ditch or dumped on the ground.  One quart of motor oil can contaminate 250,000 gallons of water and create an oil slick the size of eight football fields.  Used motor oil from cars, trucks, boats, motorcycles, farm equipment, and lawnmowers can be recycled and re-refined. Remember, Oil and Water Don't Mix! Recycling your used motor oil is as easy as 1, 2, 3, 4!  Remove the oil from your car and be sure that you don’t spill any on the ground. Contain your used motor oil in a clean plastic container with a tight lid. Never store used oil in a container that once held chemicals, food or beverages. Do not mix used motor oil with any other substance, like anti-freeze, solvents or paint. Recycle your oil by taking it to a service station or other locations that collect used motor oil for recycling.
