NPS Watershed Community Calendars

NPS Watershed Community Calendars

Producing a local NPS watershed calendar may be on the most cost effective tools an MS4 can use as part of their ongoing NPDES permit requirement. As opposed to multiple events taking place throughout the year, an NPS calendar produced just one time will function month by month, all year long – allowing a greater return on your investment.

"Year after year these calendars continue to grow in popularity. They are, without a doubt, the farthest-reaching outreach product the city produces for stormwater awareness. Keep up the great work!"

Jennifer Oman Payne, Education and Outreach Coordinator, City of Chico Stormwater Program

An NPS calendar will showcase the beauty of your local watershed features, communicate beneficial BMPs, promote local watershed-friendly resources, and encourage the participation of local residents and stakeholders, all in one process. As our clients have discovered, a local NPS calendar can become a successful collaboration between local residents, government, private businesses and non-profits. When it's all said and done, such a collaboration is the perfect recipe for a stormwater program seeking positive results!

Here is a partial list of features your local NPS calendar can provide:

Public Participation

Volunteer / Community Events

BMPs (feature a different set of BMPs per month)

Local Stakeholders

Illicit Discharge Reporting Information

Watershed-friendly Business Programs

HHW Collection Resources

Green Waste Resources

IMP Resources

Watershed Conservation Resources

As you can see from the list above, an NPS calendar can effectively coordinate and satisfy several components of your NPDES permit all in one process. Producing a calendar from scratch can be a real headache though, requiring lots of time, careful planning and tedious coordination. We have been producing NPS calendars for many years and have developed a streamlined approach for producing beautiful and informative NPS calendars. Let us handle the difficult task of producing a beautiful calendar for your local watershed while your focus on the tasks that require your up-most attention.
