to the regional campaign.
As water suppliers for nearly 1.2 million people in the City of Fort Worth and surrounding communities, the
City of Fort Worth and TRVVDhave a keen interest iO protecting and preserving the quality Ofour
vv8tomv8ys. Each year hundreds of tons of trash and debris wind up in creeks and rivers that flow into our
reservoirs. The same trash we See 8CCurnu|ahad 8|0Og the Trinity River after a big rain is the same sort of
litter washing into our reservoirs, which serve es major sOU[c8sOfdrinhingvv8terfOrmi||iOnsOfNOrth
Texans.
TRWD and the City of Fort Worth are seeking to develop a regional anti-litter campaign to highlight the
o:20RE\/ERSTILITTER Pagel 0f2
problem and inspire action. The goal is to prevent tons of plastic bottles, paper, styrofoam and other trash
and debris from flowing into our creeks and reservoirs annually. The campaign is called Reverse Litter,
and it aims to reverse the litter trail, so that it winds up in trash cans and recycle bins before it pollutes our
waterways. TRWD and the City of Fort Worth must develop and submit to the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality, a stormwater management program (SWMP) that includes at least six control
measures. The Reverse Litter Campaign will address two items on the list: public education and outreach
and public involvement and participation. In addition to the $75,000.00 funding by the Environmental
Protection Project Fund, $75,000.00 and $50,000.00 in funding will be provided by Code and TPW-
Stormwater respectively and are included in their Fiscal Year 2013 appropriated budgets.
The Reverse Litter Campaign will affect residents in ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
