ATTACHMENT 5 <br /> J <br /> AU <br /> C R S <br /> Oi �` FLORID�Ary"� <br /> LEWINDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br /> RIS I�GOO1Vi: <br /> STORM <br /> DRAIN , <br /> The next time you walk in your neighborhood, take a moment to notice the storm drains <br /> that line the roadways. During each storm event the storm drains capture excess water <br /> that runs off rooftops, yards, driveways, and parking lots, all components of the human <br /> environment. The stormwater runoff carries with it many pollutants that accompany our <br /> modern lifestyles such as motor oil, pesticides, excess fertilizer, sediment, pet waste, and <br /> more. Many storm drains (inlets) lead directly to lakes or canals that discharge into the <br /> Indian River Lagoon. Our daily activities contribute to the deterioration of these waters. <br /> Placing special storm drain markers (such as depicted above) on inlet covers is a clear <br /> reminder to all that anything entering the drains will flow untreated to our waters. <br /> Installation is easy! It is fast and easy to glue the Drain Markers on the drain covers and <br /> place information door-hangers on homeowners' front doors as you go. The Drain <br /> Markers are made of durable materials, so your work will have lasting value. You'll be <br /> helping to keep our waters clean. Enlist the help of a group such as scout troops, church, <br /> schools, your homeowners association, coworkers, and family! <br /> Description <br /> Storm drain marking involves labeling storm drain inlets with plaques, tiles,painted or <br /> precast messages warning citizens not to dump pollutants into the drain. The message, <br /> "Dump No Waste Leads to Lagoon" is a simple phrase to remind those passing by that <br /> the storm drains connect to local waterbodies and that dumping will pollute those waters. <br /> 36-A `13 <br />
