Preventing Stormwater Pollution: What We Can Do The “Preventing Stormwater Pollution: What We Can Do” video and accompanying Stormwater Pollution Prevention Training Module Series are tools to assist local governments and state agencies in training their employees on Stormwater pollution prevention. The following sections contain descriptions of the training resources. Links are provided at the bottom of the page to access files for each of the training resources (except the video). Instructor’s Guide Presentations and documents from the "Training the Trainer" session held June 30, 2010 are also available at the bottom of this page. Materials offered include the "Storm Survivor" and "What's Wrong With This Picture" games. Preventing Stormwater Pollution: What We Can Do Video The video set is available on DVD for $85.00 from NCTCOG’s Environment and Development Department. To purchase the video set, and for any additional information, please email EandD@nctcog.org or call (817) 695-9210. Training Module Series and Shop Posters The modules are designed to follow the video or an introduction by the instructor. One or more modules may be presented in combination depending on the audience. In addition to the flexibility offered by various combinations of modules, the content of individual modules may be tailored by the jurisdiction to meet locality-specific needs. For example, pictures, contact information, Stormwater Best Management Practice (BMP) maintenance and inspection schedules, waste disposal instructions, or other facility-specific information may be used in place of or in addition to the standard content. Shop posters have been developed to accompany each training module. The posters may be placed in shops or break rooms to reinforce the practices described in the video and training modules. Supplemental Materials “Storm Survivor” is a quiz that may be used in a training class to reinforce and assess student learning. The game contains questions and answers pertaining to the video and each of the training modules. If individual assessment is desired, the questions from the game may be used by the trainer to prepare a written quiz that may be administered after the class. “What’s Wrong with this Picture” is another useful aid the trainer may use to stimulate group discussion. This presentation file consists of photographs of poor Stormwater management practices. Notes describing the problems associated with the photographs are provided (select “Notes Page” under the View menu in Microsoft PowerPoint to view the problem descriptions and print the Notes pages prior to presenting the game). In addition to the “serious” photographs, several “fun” photographs are interspersed throughout the presentation to keep the interest level high.
