Other Sources

Although we have created our own factsheet series addressing a variety of stormwater issues, there are many other series available that might enhance your outreach efforts. The following list is not meant to be comprehensive, but it does include links to materials on topics that our series lacks.

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

The EPA has assembled a vast collection of outreach and education materials related to stormwater and other sources of non-point pollution.

Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management

The collection of brochures and factsheets includes:

• Ten Things You Can Do to Improve Water Quality in Rhode Island

• Feeding Waterfowl Is Harmful

• Dealing With Resident Canada Geese

• Water Pollution Control in the Autobody Shop

The Blackstone River Coalition

Following the Publications link on the BRC’s homepage, you will find a document called,

Homeowner’s Guide to Protecting Water Quality in the Blackstone River Watershed.

While targeted at a specific community, this resource contains information that could be replicated in other watersheds. The BRC also has produced many resources in support of their In Business for the Blackstone Program.

University of Rhode Island Cooperative Extension

Healthy Landscapes Sustainable Landscaping Factsheet Series includes information on topics such as:

• Recycle Your Yard Waste

• Use Fertilizers and Pesticides Responsibly
