We secured substantial funding and established a productive Steering Committee and Public Advisory Group, engaging stakeholders through one-on-one meetings to gather valuable feedback. Additionally, we collaborated with the WaterNow Alliance to develop case studies on best stormwater practices in Philadelphia, Baltimore, Milwaukee, and Miami. Furthermore, we bolstered our team's capacity by hiring two staff members dedicated to stormwater fee policy and community campaigning. These achievements underscore our ongoing commitment to promoting equitable and sustainable stormwater management practices for a healthier community. 71862 1000 0 Under the initiative "Water Flows Forward" focused on a Planter Box Competition, our organization achieved significant milestones. To bolster our efforts, we hired six part-time summer fellows for planning and social media management, with one continuing part-time through the remainder of 2022. Additionally, we enlisted the expertise of a branding company to develop branded content for the planter box, devise social media content and strategy, and create a dedicated program website. Collaboration flourished with six formal sponsors/partners, including GreenTheory, National Wildlife Foundation, Cicada Radio, Restore the M.R.D, A.S.L.A-Louisiana Chapter, and C.P.R.A.

These achievements mark significant progress in our commitment to sustainable community development and environmental stewardship. 40271 86000 0 Our organization embarked on a vital mission to assess water quality and investigate PFAS contamination. We initiated our comprehensive water quality study, leveraging pro-bono technical assistance from former EPA experts and independent technical report writing support from the Center for Applied Environmental Science. To facilitate data collection, we trained and deployed six dedicated fellows, who diligently gathered 31 water samples spanning from Pointe Coupee Parish to Orleans Parish along the Mississippi River. These samples underwent thorough analysis for PFAS, 1,4-dioxane, and BTEX compounds by a nationally certified laboratory, revealing troubling evidence of PFOA, PFOS, PFBA, and ethylene contamination at seven sample sites. To disseminate our findings effectively, we authored two comprehensive reports-one technical and one community-oriented-detailing our study, its implications, and proposing solutions. Our commitment to transparency and community engagement was further demonstrated through in-person and virtual meetings with community members, as well as engagements with the EPA Office of Water and other key stakeholders. Through these endeavors, we remain steadfast in our mission to safeguard water quality and advocate for actionable solutions to address contamination issues. 19789 5750 0 Our organization launched an innovative Green Tour initiative to promote environmental awareness and sustainable practices within our community.
