STORMWATER AWARENESS WEEK RESOLUTION <br />October 20 - 26, 2019 <br />Clean Streams WHEREAS, urban stormwater runoff impacts water quality in the Rocky <br />Start HERE River Watershed and Lake Erie Watershed in the City of North Olmsted. <br />WHEREAS, population growth, residential and commercial development, and the <br />resulting changes to the landscape will only increase stormwater quality and quantity <br />concerns throughout Cuyahoga County, and <br />WHEREAS, these impacts cannot be entirely avoided or eliminated but can be <br />minimized; and <br />WHEREAS, it is currently recognized that control of stormwater quantity and quality is <br />most effectively implemented when people and organizations understand the related <br />causes and consequences of polluted stormwater runoff and flooding, and the actions <br />they can take to control these, and <br />WHEREAS, the need arises not only from the regulatory requirements of EPA General <br />Construction and Municipal Stormwater rules, but also from the recognition that <br />citizens and local decision makers will benefit from a greater awareness of how the <br />cumulative impacts of decisions at home, at work and through local policies impact our <br />water quality, stream corridors and flooding, and <br />WHEREAS, the development and implementation of effective, outcomes -based <br />stormwater education and outreach programs will meet the related federal stormwater <br />pollution control requirements and those of the communities they serve so that <br />Cuyahoga County and the Greater Cleveland region continues to be a green city on a <br />blue lake. <br />NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City of North Olmsted joins Cuyahoga <br />Soil & Water Conservation District in recognizing the week of October 20-26, 2019 as <br />Stormwater Awareness Week. <br />
