| Hillsdale Water Quality Protection Project 1-10 |
The Hillsdale Water Quality Project, Inc. is based on the principles
of community watershed environmental protection planning and implementation.
The Board of Directors has established the following objectives: 1) Educate
the public about point and nonpoint sources of pollution in the watershed;
2) Introduce pollution control practices in agricultural areas, construction
sites, and neighborhoods to protect water quality and the total natural
resource base; 3) Solidify the project's organizational structure and funding
to insure long -term protection of the lake's watershed. These objectives
will be achieved by developing volunteer groups within the communities
to provide education programs to the public; implement, in cooperation
with residents, pollution control practices; monitor the lake and tributaries
with the assistance of volunteers; and devise long -range planning to accommodate
the growth in development of the watershed. |

| Preventing Pollution in Our Storm water Drains |
The water pollution problems this project addresses are the illegal/improper
dumping of materials, such as motor oil, paint, fertilizer, pesticides,
yard waste, litter, and pet waste into the Storm Drainage System within
the City of Lawrence. The primary objective of the project is to educate
and inform targeted Lawrence neighborhood groups, civic organizations,
and schools about water flow through their local watershed and to illustrate
how individual actions can affect community water quality. In order to
achieve this, the Waste Reduction and Recycling Division will: Develop
a 10 minute video presentation and a 60 second Public Service Announcement
about Lawrence watersheds, explaining how water flows through the Lawrence
watershed, and how poorly disposed of residential wastes (automotive products,
pesticides, yard waste, pet waste, paint, and litter) affect our storm
drainage system and potentially affect our water quality. This presentation
would include the following: Information on surface water flo |
| Talking Trash for Water Quality |
Douglas County Conservation District in cooperation with the local
Natural Resources Conservation Service developed a series of workshops
and tours. These tours consisted of cropland water quality protection measures
and some "water use" examples such as a commercial fisherman on the Missouri
River. Workshops consisted of KDHE presenting watershed conditions information,
which included TMDL and monitoring information. |
