    Watershed management could be the difference
    between a flooded basement and minimal damage. Stormwater, when not
    properly handled, floods communities, creates more erosion problems
    and adds more pollution to the waterways.



    In the effort to help combat this problem, Northeast Ohio
    Regional Sewer District (NEORSD) has created initiatives that
    expand watershed planning and green space to reduce flooding and
    stormwater pollution.



    Beginning in January, a utility fee will be assessed to
    residents based on the square feet of paved or �impervious�
    surfaces. The Sewer District will supply a credit to residents who
    implement a District-approved Stormwater Control Measure to reduce
    regional costs for stormwater problems.



    For residents interested in the credit or have questions, join
    NEORSD staff and Cleveland Metroparks Senior Natural Resources
    Manager Jennifer Grieser for the �Residential Stormwater Credit�
    Workshop on Wednesday, December 5 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Padua
    Franciscan High School



    The workshop focuses on helping residents protect their
    communities and manage stormwater on their property by utilizing
    rain gardens, rain barrels or other Stormwater Control Measures.
    Residents who are just starting to investigate the options can come
    to hear ideas, and those who already have a grasp on the issue can
    bring plans or photographs of their improvements to submit a credit
    application at the end of the workshop.



    The workshop takes place in the Multi-Media Room of Padua
    Franciscan High School, located at 6740 State Road in Parma.



    For more information, call Senior Natural Resources Manager
    Jennifer Grieser at 440-331-8679.



    Help protect and preserve your community at the �Residential
    Stormwater Credit� Workshop with Cleveland Metroparks - part of
    your life, naturally!
