Protection of stormwater through maintenance of temporary erosion control devices that remain in place until 80% cover established. Temporary erosion control devices were in place most of the time at
most sites, but were not effective through severe events as demonstrated by TSS readings. See description in Attach D

In the next year, minimum goals include implementation of the “Adopt a Drain” program, with placement of metal drain markers (already purchased) throughout the base at intakes that are being
inventoried next year, addressing I&I cross-connect issues through multiple projects if funded, celebration of Arbor Day, celebration of Earth Day at Tollison Elementary School, public outreach through a
