Assuming a roof drainage area of 500 square feet for each of the 20 barrels, runoff from <br />10,000 square feet of impervious area will be directed to the barrels. <br />Environmental Education Benefits <br />The rain barrel workshop will include a PowerPoint presentation focused on educating participants <br />about: <br />• Stormwater basics and water pollution <br />• Water conservation and water quality benefits of rain barrels <br />• Other water conservation and water quality protection measures including raingardens, native <br />plantings, shoreline restoration, and low impact yard care <br />• Resources for raingarden and shoreline restoration cost share assistance <br />Estimated Project Budget for a Build Your Own Rain Barrel Workshop <br />0 The City is requesting a $700.00 water quality grant to subsidize the cost of oak and plastic rain <br />barrel kits for up to 20 workshop participants ($35.00 for each rain barrel kit). <br />• <br />Rain Barrel Kit <br />Plastic Barrel Kit <br />Recycled Oak Barrel Kit <br />Unsubsidized <br />Cost Per Kit <br />$89.00 <br />$119.00 <br />Plastic Barrel -Green <br />Cost Per Kit <br />After Subsidy <br />$ 54.00 <br />$ 84.00 <br />Plastic Barrel -Beige <br />Cost Share <br />Percentage <br />40% <br />30% <br />Recycled Oak Barrel <br />
