See descriptions of litter and trash, pet waste, pesticides, household chemicals, and vehicle fluids (and their likely sources) on https://www.trinity-nc.gov/index.asp?SEC=BCFEC281-DAB3-4838- AF30-7704878A2C91.

Additionally, the permittee links to Stormwater SMART's education materials through their website: 0 C1 https:/Avww.trinity-nc.gov/index.asp?SEC=E6lE7975-6AE1-4D87-AB54-56SF7A63A2FE&DE=1812F5CC-3DEF- City of Trinity,' GOVERNMENT ■ Check out these links to learn more about stormwater pollution: stormwater SMART Piedmont Triad water Qtial V. Part nershi a RESIDENTS • BUSINESS I WANT � Stormwater 11.6.2.g Hotline/Help Line. The permittee paid Stormwater SMART to promote a stormwater hotline/helpline for the purpose of public education and outreach. On behalf of the permittee, Stormwater SMART contacted school and library personnel 1-2 times per year to announce available programs, including the hotline (336) 904-0300 and Coordinator's name, Danica Heflin, along with email address, dheflin@ptrc.org). Additionally, a "Request a Program" web form is available at https://www.ptrc.org/services/regional-planning/stormwater-smart/your-school.org. The library contact for City of Trinity is Carol Motta with the Archdale branch of Trinity library, which is the closest library for Trinity residents. Carol typically responds to this outreach email once or twice per year to request educational programming (3/17/21; 7/10/20; 12/18/19; 4/24/19). See email attached for an example of the outreach email (with hotline phone number). Likewise, teachers at Archdale -Trinity Middle School respond the outreach emails we send once or twice per year, which include the hotline number. As an example, see emails with Cory Bentley, 81" Grade Science Teacher and STEM Club Advisor attached. Corey used the hotline and the email contact several times in 2018, 2019, and at the beginning of 2020 before Covid-19 forced cancelations. 11.6.2.h Public Education and Outreach Program.
