while fashioning stunning jewelry out of recycled soda 6-pack rings. Children ages 12

Cycling through the Water Cycle

Join Malia Morrison, from the Board of Stark County Commissioner’s Storm Water

Education Program, for this FREE informational workshop! The National Pollutant

Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II is a program required in Stark

County by the Environmental Protection Agency in an attempt to protect our water

supply. As storm water runoff flows over the ground, it can pick up debris,

chemicals, dirt, and other pollutants contaminating our water. Anything that enters a

storm sewer is discharged untreated into waterbodies that we use for drinking, fishing,

and swimming. Only 1% of our water is usable drinkable water. With the limited

supply available, we must conserve and protect our water.

CEUs available for educators.
