Contracted Education Proposal: July 1, 2023- June 30, 2026
This proposal is between Black Hawk County Conservation (BHCC) and the cities of Cedar
Falls, Elk Run Heights, Evansdale, Hudson, Raymond, and Waterloo. Hartman Reserve Nature
Center will organize and conduct stormwater education. Education programs will occur
throughout the year including programing for school groups, field trips, summer camps, and the
public.
What Conservation can provide for your cities:
• General stormwater education facts sheets or brochures which include information on
stormwater impacts on water quality, as well as steps residents can implement to reduce
water quality degradation.
• Informational articles will be provided for use in city newsletters 2 times per year. These
articles will provide information regarding the impacts of stormwater on water quality
and ideas that individual residents can implement.
• Hartman Reserve Nature Center staff will provide a wide range of hands-on water quality
and stormwater themed programs to classrooms and individuals that attend programming
for school trips, summer camps, public and private programs.
• This program will allow the participating municipalities to remain in compliance with
their DNR issued NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) general
permit #2 which contains a public education and outreach programming requirement, in a
cost-effective manner.
• Conservation staff can provide up to two (2) public programs in your municipalities per
fiscal year.
Project Coordination: Conservation will provide program planning, set up, equipment,
maintenance, and storage of equipment along with billing and registration. Reports will be
submitted to each individual city at the end of each fiscal year.
Staff: Conservation has two full time naturalist who plan organize and implement education
programs for children and adults. These staff will lead the watershed education initiative.
Budget: The incorporation of water quality lessons into existing programs, city specific
programs, and this cost share match from each participating municipality. Overall program
budget is $5,600.00
