Discussions took place about the importance of green space and partnered with "Keep America Beautiful" to complete a beautification project. The club returned in September to complete a water sweep of Stoney Creek adjacent to the park. They removed several piles of debris from the waterway. The Town of Nashville held an environmental camp for youth in the community June 26-28 and was attended by 6. The youth learned about water quality, stormwater, plant/animal species, and encouraged responsible environmental stewardship. The stormwater information shared was basic education of stormwater principles, causes of nonpoint source point pollutants, water chemistry tests, macro invertebrate assessment, and how to be a good steward of our local water bodies. This camp was successful and we will continue to offer as an annual camp. The Town of Nashville also partnered with Nashville Elementary to help reduce erosion issues on their property. The school is experiencing erosion around walkways, and stairs as a result of the excessive use of round -up by lawn maintenance crews. We stressed the importance of discouraging the use of this product and suggested several different vegetative coverings that are low maintenance that would eliminate erosion in these areas. The school was very grateful for this meeting and is moving forward with the implementation of these best practice suggestions. It was observed that Nashville Elementary has a perfect location for a rain garden. NC State Extension Service, Town of Nashville, and Nashville Elementary have discussed the possibility of installing a rain garden to reduce erosion and educate the whole student body on good stormwater practice. This will be addressed later in Section V: Retrofit Opportunity. In conjunction with these partnerships the Town of Nashville utilizes our website and brochures to distribute stormwater information to the public.

Section IV: Jurisdiction (Nide Information Collection The Town of Nashville is approximately 3 square miles with a population of 5,432 according to recent information from the State Demographer's Office. Nashville is largely considered a bedroom community and is the county seat. The Public Works Department are the eyes in the field and observe for illicit discharges. These findings would be reported to the Planning Department for further action and ultimate compliance. There have been no findings of illicit discharges at this time. Please review attached maps. Section V: Retrofit Opportunity Nashville Elementary is a willing participant for a retrofit opportunity and was briefly discussed in Section I: Public Outreach & Education. Nashville Elementary, Town of Nashville, and NC State Extension Service would partner to construct a rain garden within a 2,.700 square foot greenspace that currently accepts storm drainage from a 47,000 square foot area. This area consists of approximately 11,000 square feet of impervious surface made up of building footprint and walkways. The remaining 36,000 square feet is considered greenspace. This site is ideal because it does not consist of environmentally sensitive areas, would serve as constant public outreach with approximately 800 students in attendance annually, and would be maintained by a responsible owner. This project is slated for construction in early summer of 2018. A map is attached for your review of the potential project.
