Follow these steps to enter your name:

What kind of comments is RSPT looking for?
Send RSPT your best idea, action, or public education topic to help us protect our creeks, lakes, and wetlands from stormwater pollution.
If you are all out of ideas, you can also do a little research by reading one of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program (SWPP) documents for one of RSPT’s partner communities and comment on their plans. Is something missing from their stormwater plans? What requirements would you like to see your community approach differently?

Looking for a little inspiration? Below is a picture of a street sweeper. But that’s no ordinary street sweeper, that’s a local street sweeper decked out in a huge, awesome decal that started out as an idea from a real person who thought that those street sweepers could provide a little education while they are also sweeping those streets. That could be you!
