ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD BUSINESS A. Commercial Area Landscape Discussion/Continued — Asleson reviewed the discussion from the last meeting related to the landscape criteria for Commercial areas. He stated he received several e-mail questions and explained the Landscape Ordinance is 1 ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD MEETING AUGUST 30, 2000 a separate issue. He stated the Landscape Ordinance will be revised and presented to the Commission for consideration at the next meeting. Donlin arrived at 7:35 p.m. Chair Lanyon noted the City has an idea of the type of native landscape and plantings they are looking for and asked about the ability for the ordinance to refer to the City's target and expectation of commercial development to work within that target even though it is not specified within the ordinance. He stated he thinks commercial developers are interested in abiding by the City's intent but, perhaps, the City needs to provide more specific guidelines. Asleson suggested the Board raise that issue after reviewing the amended ordinance at the meeting next month. Chair Lanyon noted that ordinances are the City's only "teeth" and asked staff to make Consultant Julie Farnham aware of this issue to assure it i dequately reflected in the ordinance.

Chair Lanyon requested staff advise them of the date and time the interviews will be conducted so they can determine who would be available Kukonen asked if it will help to provide the developers with the information mentioned at the meeting last month. Chair Lanyon stated that will help but he believes the City also needs to work with them to educate on the stages for this type of native landscaping. Perhaps including a lobby display depicting how it will look each year. Or, it can be suggested that they post signs out front advising of the native plantings. Kukonen advised of his visit to the Sawtooth Golf Course and invitation from their staff to visit their grounds and offer advise on what they have found to work and to not work. Chair Lanyon noted the first five years in developing native landscaping is critical and to assure success, the City will need to work with them during that time frame. 2 ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD MEETING AUGUST 30, 2000 Mach noted it has also been suggested to have a demonstration prairie landscape area within the City that they can view. O'Connell asked if it is possible to provide the developer with a list of successful native landscape sites they can view. Trehus arrived at 6:45 p.m. Asleson stated one of the consultants has a list of that type of information. Chair Lanyon agreed with the suggestion to begin compiling a list of sites. A brief discussion occurred related to what is included in the draft Landscape Ordinance. B. DNR Project / Updates - Asleson distributed copies of the agenda from the recently held Rice Creek Corridor Expansion project meeting and explained what that project entails. He advised that one of the issues is that part of the Lino areas are not included but the DNR wants those areas i Classification system. Asleson reviewed the modifi the realms of vegetation only (not including wil information will come from this study. es, Columbus, and Hugo uded in the Minnesota Land will be considering within that a lot of useful GIS Mach asked if this corridor area will be purc Asleson stated they are now trying to identify work has not yet been decided.

New Projects (Discussio et constraint) — Asleson distributed information on the Environmental : o oals and commented on the time constraints he is currently experiencing. He of the great increase in oak wilt disease due to the storm damage from two years Chair Lanyon asked if a short-term strategy would be to strongly encourage a budget increase to allow hiring hourly help to assist with writing tasks. He noted that to accomplish the tasks being identified, there must be more than existing staff. Asleson stated he can try to focus on grant writing as an opportunity to fund staff. Chair Lanyon noted that hiring a grant writer may be another option. However, the City would need to invest some dollars to acquire that assistance. Mach stated the option of using an intern has been discussed previously. Asleson advised that he did propose an intern but it was cut from the budget. • Mach asked what is happening with oak wilt. Asleson stated Lino Lakes has been using a shared vibratory plow for eleven years and the disease was pretty well under control until ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD MEETING AUGUST 30, 2000 the storm came through. He explained that this type of plowing is found to be good for about seven years and then it needs to be done again. Mach commented on the large workload with oak wilt and asked if this is fighting battle that cannot be won. Asleson explained staff has explained this process to the tree owners, however, they want the tree saved if at all possible. Trehus asked if there is anyone else on staff that does environmentally - related work. Asleson stated Mike Hoffman worked on forestry related issues but he has now assumed other park- related responsibilities and is unavailable for environmental work. Davidson asked if staff recognizes the need for more assistance. Asleson stated it is recognized by staff but often times is a secondary issue to their responsibilities. Chair Lanyon suggested the Board issue their support for certain requests, such as this need for staff assistance. Trehus suggested the landscape consultant be included consideration. Asleson stated staff has already sub is currently under consideration by the Council. the year 2000 budget it department budget and it Chair Lanyon stated the Board wants staff to do m on its behalf but he understands that resource is limited. He stated his sup , the .: • uncil to invest more resources in environmental staff. Mach recommended more help Asleson can provide informa• on prioritization of work work such as making field visits so ion. He suggested the Board provide input Chair Lanyon suggested ad a oal for the Environmental Board to encourage more staffing since it poses a seriou imitation on anything the Board can accomplish. Donlin concurred and noted that as the City grows, this situation will worsen. She stated she feels the City should have a staffed environmental department to address environmental issues and concerns. Trehus asked how much grant money is available to fund this type of work. Asleson stated there is grant money available and he is already working on grant writing. Trehus noted the correct direction may be to make a recommendation to the Economic Development Department, not to "leap frog" to the City Council. Davidson noted the Board is a subcommittee of the Council so she feels a recommendation can be forwarded directly to them. 4 ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD MEETING AUGUST 30, 2000 D. Other Business — Clearwater Creek - Donlin asked if Clearwater Creek is looking like a conservation development, or the standard gridwork. Asleson stated Mike Quigley was posting the buffer area signs and reviewed how a wetland has been restored and water levels are coming back up. Donlin asked if the original vision is being accomplished. Asleson stated while the streets are more narrow and houses are located closer together, there is open area behind with trails to be installed. He stated people are interested in this area and the houses are selling. Asleson suggested that some education will also help. Donlin asked if the drive approach contains native landscaping. Asleson stated it does not, but that would be a good idea which he will suggest to Quigley. He noted this is a phased development and as the native prairie matures it will be very attractive. Asleson suggested a field trip to this area prior to the next meeting or on a Saturday. Consensus was reached to schedule a field trip to Clearwater Creek at 5:30 p.m. on September 27, 2000. PROGRAM / PROJECT UPDATES A. Restoration Updates — Already discussed. Litter Ordinance — Asleson commented ordinance to regulate littering. He stated he they would like some time to prep information provided on the City called Public Nuisances. cussion about the need for an ssed this with the Police Department and for the September agenda. He noted the ode concerning littering, and a related ordinance Donlin suggested the le v =, f fine addressed to assure it has an impact. B. Forestry Updates — It was not the oak wilt issue has already been addressed. Asleson advised of upcoming workshops and informational meetings. Donlin commented on a recent newspaper article regarding the departed Heron population and the disruption also experienced by residents due to the highway project. Asleson reported the City Attorney has indicated no objection to the drafted letter of reference for consultants. Donlin stated she received permission from the DNR employee to provide her letter as a point of discussion. She asked if it could be included, in whole, and attached as part of the file. Asleson requested a copy of the letter. 5 ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD MEETING AUGUST 30, 2000 C. Solid Waste / Recycling Updates — Asleson reported the Recycling Day is scheduled for October 7, 2000. He noted the grant information was also included in the meeting packet. Highland Meadows Off Site Wetland Mitigation - Kukonen explained the location of a rich plant and wildlife area and stated he has received some comments asking why heavy equipment has been in that area. He stated that residents called City Hall and it was indicated it involved an off site mitigation project for the Highland MeadowsBluebiil Ponds project. Kukonen stated he visited the site and found a sand -based roadway has been made and a pond constructed. However, there has been a lot of cutting and clearing. Kukonen stated when he first looked at it, he wondered if it was a Savanna restoration project. Asleson stated this off site mitigation project was previously reported to the Environmental Board. He stated it involves private property rights and native seed will be planted. Kukonen asked if the Environmental Board should be adv. ed of mitigation projects such as this. Asleson stated he had raised the option of a gr way on this site. Trehus asked if the City can become involved in etT d mi on projects.

Trehus asked what type o ide, s �� City, State, or watershed district have and what controls a mitigation pr ristine forest. Asleson explained the watershed district is trying to address sources, flow rates, etc. Trehus questioned the validity of a wetland mitigatio at the cost of losing wooded habitat, all for the sake of development. Asleson stated in some cases, the habitat has been so drastically impacted that a mitigation project provides an opportunity to do wetland and hydrology restoration. He agreed this particular project should have been looked at more closely. Chair Lanyon asked if the Board can encourage locations of wetland restoration to assure they are located within greenway corridors, etc. Lighting Ordinance - Trehus asked if any feedback has been received on the Board's memorandum recommending a Lighting Ordinance receive higher staff priority. Chair Lanyon stated he is not aware of any response. 6 ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD MEETING AUGUST 30, 2000 Community Service Award Committee - O'Connell stated she has not heard a thing about this committee and asked who she should contact.

RECEIVED SEP 1 1 2000 CITY OF LINO LAKES 2 -99 REV Ivan M. Levy Vice President — General Counsel LEGAL INTERPLASTIC CORPORATION DEPARTM ENT Ms. Mary Alice Devine Economic Development Assistant City of Lino Lakes 600 Town Center Parkway Lino Lakes, MN 55014 -1182 September 11, 2000 1225 Willow Lake Boulevard Saint Paul, Minnesota 55110 -5145 (651) 481 -6871 Fax (651) 481 -9213 E -mail ilevy@interplastic.co V GG SE? 112000 G1'V Of 1..1140 EKES HAND DELIVERED RE: Application & TIF Request (Our File No. 9076.12) Dear Ms. Devine: We have signed a Purchase Agreement to buy an industrial lot of approximately 2.2 acres in the Apollo Business Park (Park) in the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota (City).' The specific site location is shown on Exhibit A (Property). As you can see, the front of the Property will have approximately 340 feet along Apollo Drive, and the back will be adjacent to the freeway. DISTRIBUTION FACILITY We intend to build a distribution facility on the Property. The facility would be used by North American Composites Company (NAC), a subsidiary of Interplastic Corporation, for our company's distribution operations. NAC is a national distributor of polyester resins, fiberglass, and related products to the composites industry. In order to accommodate NAC's needs, we intend to construct a building on the Property of approximately 24,000 square feet. NAC will use a common driveway to access the facility. The stormwater from the Property will be directed to one of the common ponds in the Park. There will be no outside storage. NAC is a fairly typical distribution operation. It should thus qualify as a "permitted use" under the City's zoning code. NAC may subsequently decide to do some drumming and tote filling at the Property. These activities — which would occur inside the Building — involve little more than repackaging the liquids into different sized containers. Enclosed herewith is the required Land Use Application plus a check for $750 payable to the City for the required application fee. Also enclosed is our Application Checklist together with all of the attachments referenced therein. The purchaser is "James D. Wallenfelsz, as trustee of the James D. Wallenfelsz Revocable Lifetime Trust dated August 29, 1988, as amended" (Owner). Mr. Wallenfelsz is the owner of Interplastic Corporation. The Purchase Agreement gives Owner the right to assign these rights to an affiliate of Interplastic Corporation [§ 12.1]. 4, City of Lino Lakes September 11, 2000 Page Two • TAX INCREMENT FINANCING We understand that tax increment financing (TIF) is available from the City. TIF has been factored into our acquisition costs because, without that subsidy, we would not have agreed to buy this land. Indeed, unless reasonable TIF is approved, we will not pursue this development. Our Purchase Agreement contains an express contingency to that effect [§ 8.1(d)]. We hereby request that our TIF be 12% of the market value of the completed project. Please note that NAC's operations will create 7 or 8 new jobs in the City. The jobs will include operators, a truck driver, and distribution personnel. In addition, because NAC will use this location as its new "Minneapolis facility," managers will be present as well. The quality of our project merits the amount of TIF requested. As indicated, we will be constructing a large building, approximately 24,000 feet (comprising 25% of the site). It will be of very high quality. Furthermore, NAC has experienced rapid growth — more than doubling in size in the last two years — and this project is being done with expansion thoughts in mind. We request "up front TIF" equal to the amount of the special assessments. The balance of the TIF can be on a "pay as you go" basis. Of course, since those payments are deferred, we assume that — like other municipalities — the City will add interest to those deferred payments (or alternatively, increase the percentage above 12 %). The TIF period should run through 2008. A completed TIF Application — in triplicate — is attached. Please let us know when the "escrow fee" of $5,000 needs to be paid. PRO FORMA We realize the City would like to see a pro forma in connection with the TIF application. But in this case, bidding will be done only if and when the City Council gives its approval, so our cost estimates cannot be stated with any degree of accuracy. More importantly, we have a long history of actual transactions, so we hope that past information can serve as our pro forma. This Owner has already done five "purchase and leaseback" transactions with NAC and Interplastic Corporation. In the first four, Owner paid all of the acquisition and construction costs, then charged the corporate occupant monthly rent. In each of those cases, Owner achieved the desired 15 % return on investment. The fifth transaction — the most recent one — did not turn out as well. That acquisition involved a land and building in the San Antonio area. We believe it's similar to Lino Lakes; well over $1 million was paid, and a government subsidy was available. However, the eventual subsidy turned out to be too small, and that return on investment has been a disappointing 12 %. Owner does not want to be in that position again. So unless a reasonable TIF award is made in this case, Owner wants to be able to abandon this development, and a provision was built into the Purchase Agreement to provide that right [§ 8.1(d)] . City of Lino Lakes September 11, 2000 Page Three CONCLUSION Our company has a long history of working successfully with municipalities to conclude transactions of this type. Indeed, at the present time, the undersigned is working with another suburb, north of St. Paul, on an even larger project in which TIF was essential. We have no doubt that the Apollo Drive project can also be done successfully. In conclusion, NAC and Interplastic Corporation very much look forward to working with the City of Lino Lakes in connection with this development. We respectfully request the City's consideration of the enclosed application and TIF materials. Feel free to call me if you have any questions. Sincerely yours, AlitTMV Ob. 46 Ivan M.

The Mueller -Bies Funeral Home was established in 1906 and is a fourth generation family -owned funeral home with both Laurie Bies and Jim Nielsen residing in the area. The exterior of the facility will have a country theme, with a combination of stone, brick, and metal siding with asphalt layered shingles. It will also contain approximately 130 -140 asphaltic parking stalls with curb and gutter per City requirements. The landscape design will be "Prairie Style" with input from Central Landscape Supply and from The Prairie Is My Garden company of Clearwater, Minnesota. The interior will contain a spacious Lobby and two separate Chapels. Each Chapel will have a private Family Room adjoining it. There will be a private Arrangement Room and Casket Selection Room containing approximately 24 caskets. The Preparation Room will be built to meet/exceed all OSHA regulations and specifications. There will be an attached three stall Garage with Living Quarters on the second level and a small Mechanical Room in the basement. The building will be completely sprinklered per City codes. We anticipate construction to begin at your earliest favorable approval of this application (November 1, 2000). Construction is expected to take approximately six to seven months, with completion before June, 2001. Your favorable approval of this project will greatly be appreciated. The Mueller -Bies Funeral Home is excited to become a part of the Lino Lakes community and to provide the families a quality service during their special time of need.

INTRODUCTION/PURPOSE Enhancing the environmental quality and visual character of the community is important to the City of Lino Lakes. The City places a high value on preserving its existing natural amenities and integrating new urban development into the natural environment. To achieve these objectives, the City has established landscaping and screening requirements for development on private property to promote: • Attractive Development: Landscaping and screening enhance the aesthetics of the built environment and allow better integration of new development with the surrounding landscape. Appropriate screening can mitigate potential negative impacts of certain uses while improving the visual quality of the built environment. Landscaping can also establish a sense of human scale in the built environment, making it feel more comfortable and appealing. • Landscape -scale Approach: Natural landscapes do not follow man-made boundaries such as property lines or jurisdictional boundaries. Therefore, the City encourages landscape plantings in new developments and/or redevelopment that reflect the plant communities intrinsic to the development site. The Lino Lakes Handbook for Environmental Planning and Conservation Development identifies the natural landscapes and ecological prototypes existing in the City. These prototypes should be used to provide a framework to determine appropriate landscaping for a development site. • Native Vegetation: Some of the existing natural landscapes and ecological systems within Lino Lakes have been severely altered by human activities such as farming, ditching, and flood control. However, where appropriate, the City encourages the use of native plants as the foundation for landscaping of new development in order to enhance overall environmental quality and ecological continuity. • Wildlife Habitat: Landscaping that reflects and enhances the ecological function of the site can contribute to its value for sustaining wildlife habitat and movement corridors. • Environmental Quality: Landscape plantings help moderate the local micro- climate through the provision of cooling shade, wind blocks, heat reflection and absorption. Landscape plants can also improve air quality by filtering dust and other air -borne particles, intercept and filter surface water run -off, and help control erosion. Consistent Standards: Establishing reasonable standards for the provision of landscaping on private property can foster systematic improvements in the visual quality of the community while enhancing environmental quality and ecological continuity. 1 ROUGH DRAFT 09/20/00 • Administration: Provide for administration and enforcement of the landscaping and screening regulations herein to promote and protect the public health, safety, and welfare of the community. II. DEFINITIONS Applicant means any person or entity who is required to submit and implement a city- approved landscape /screening plan under this section. Builder means any person or entity to whom a building permit is issued for the construction of a single - family residence. Berm means an earthen mound designed to provide visual interest, screen undesirable views, lighting, and/or decrease noise. Buffer yard means a strip of land utilized to screen or partially screen a use or property from another use or property or to shield or mitigate noise, lights, or other impacts.

V. LANDSCAPING AND SCREENING REQUIREMENTS A. General Landscape Requirements 1. All exterior areas on the property not paved or designed as roads, parking, or storage must be landscaped with vegetation and other landscape elements, unless otherwise approved by the City. 2. The City encourages the planting of native species to the extent feasible. When using native vegetation, an effort should be made to arrange plants in a manner that reflects the plant layers (e.g. over - story, mid- story, and under - story) naturally found in association with the ecological prototype of the site as identified by the City. 3. Priority should be given to retaining healthy native vegetation existing on a development site. Where appropriate, re- establishment of native plant communities using plants native to the area is encouraged to foster bio- diversity and wildlife habitat. 4. On development sites that have been significantly disturbed through urbanization, farming, or other human activities, use of plants commonly associated with historic development periods of the immediate area is appropriate. However, where opportunities, exist to restore native plant communities on these sites, an effort should be made to do so. B. General Screening Requirements 1. Screening is require in situations where obscuring views is necessary to minimize the potential negative impacts resulting from abutting different uses. 2. Visual buffering, rather than full screening, should be provided in situations where views are intended to be reduced while maintaining opportunities for surveillance (i.e. allowing eye level views). (See Section VI.D.3). 3. Screening required: a) Screening is required in multiple family, business, industrial, and certain special zoning districts (e.g. PSP, PDO) where the following uses are visible from public 6 ROUGH DRAFT 09/20/00 streets or abutting properties in different zoning districts [but only if residential zoning/use?

The First Annual Comprehensive Litter Prevention Awards recognized outstanding programs in five categor- ies: government agencies, business, schools, youth groups, and not- for -prof- it organizations. The winner in each cat- egory received a $2,000 prize to be used to further litter prevention programs. By sponsoring the awards program, NSDA hopes to bring attention to the most innovative programs across the country and to increase awareness . about the composition of litter. According to the Institute for Ap- plied Research, "a California firm that has conducted extensive litter re search, most litter consists of paper and plastic packaging. Nearly 30 per- cent of litter is classified as miscella- neous paper and plastic. Twenty per -- cent is cups, straws, take -out packag- ing, and napkins. A little more than 10 percent is candy, gum, and snack food .; material. Beverage containers make up just 8.6 percent of all litter. Public education and clean -up pro-, grams have been highly effective in preventing and reducing litter, research. shows. In Texas, for example, persua- sive public education messages have reduced litter 72 percent in five years. This Focus on Litter provides ideas on prevention education and clean- up campaigns. ■ A two -mile stretch of Wanamaker Road in Topeka, KS, is home to 300 businesses, including 25 fast - food /carry -out restaurants. Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, and local businesses worked to clean up litter and learn about litter prevention. The Winners Are... Government Category imagine: 12,000 Posters About Litter Prevention By Joanne Orr 0 klahoma's annual Trash Poster Contest is the catalyst that gets schools, families, local officials, and businesses across the state talking about ways to prevent and reduce litter. In 1999, kids created more than 12,000 posters. Start With Schools The poster contest has proven to be the most effective and widespread means of reaching students. Schools receive letters, entry flyers, posters, and calendars that feature the previous year's winners. Classes that participate discuss the prob- lem of litter in depth, then create posters. Even classes who do not participate see the posters displayed on school walls and in local business windows. Choosing the Winners The Trash Poster Contest is the largest poster contest in the state of Oklahoma. Each county judges posters and awards local prizes and a certificate from the contest committee. In March, county winners are judged, and first -, second -, and third -place winners are awarded in each of four grade -level categories, totaling 12 statewide winners. The first - place winner in each division receives $250; second place receives $150; third receives $100. All 12 state winners receive a T-shirt with their poster print- ed on it, and are honored at an awards luncheon in April at the Ohio Depart- ment of Transportation (ODOT), Okla- homa City. The winners also are pre- sented to the State Legislature at the State Capitol. The winning posters receive high visi- bility on Oklahoma Educational Tele- vision Authority, in Outdoor Oklahoma Many organizations sponsor poster contests, but -- imagine!— Oklahoma's Department of Transportation received 12,000 entries in 1999. An incentive for teachers doubled participation. magazine, business newsletters, news- papers, and on grocery bags. Four -color posters are distributed to schools businesses, and financial sponsors give $100 or more are credited on the poster. Calendars with the 12 winning posters are printed, and 34,000 copies are distributed statewide. Partnerships Cross Boundaries Partnerships help make the contest a success. The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT), Department of Environmental Quality, Department of Education, Keep Oklahoma Beautiful Inc., and the Cherokee Nation are in- volved in decision- making, and each contributes to mailing, printing costs, and publicity. Department of Environmental Quality environmental specialists coordinate the contest at the county level. Keep Oklahoma Beautiful Inc. promotes the contest through their 5,000 - circulation newsletter and network of communi- ties throughout the state. The Chero- kees, whose participation was initiated by past chief Wilma Mankiller, provide substantial funding and support of . program within their tribe. Financial donors include the Okla- homa Employees Credit Union, the Sierra Club, the Rural Water Association, sev- eral solid -waste related organizations, the State Parks and Resorts, and the state Department of Corrections. Many Adopt -a- Highway groups provide local sponsorship. Financial donors provide funds for the awards and luncheon. The Impact Building awareness about litter pre- vention is important to Oklahoma. ODOT spends $4 million each year picking up litter. While there are many poster contests, ours has a very high participation level at low cost. In 1999, teachers who led classes in the project were offered two nights free in a state park The incentive doubled participation in classrooms, demonstrating how important it is to entice teachers to work on these projects. • Joanne Orr, Oklahoma Department of Transportation, Oklahoma City, OK.

In 1995, the WEE CAN Make a Difference Club, a unique school -based recycling program, was organized. This program has evolved into a comprehensive environmental outreach program. Activities sponsored by the WEE CAN Club have instilled environmen- tally sound life skills and a love for the earth in the entire community. Annual community spring cleanups, yearly auctions of used goods, and litter con - trol projects have created a strong part- nership among the school, families, community, businesses, and county govemment. • Logo for the WEE CAN Club of Divide Elementary School. School -based Recycling Program Each year, students are challenged to save 100 pounds of aluminum cans at home. Cans are brought to the school once a month on Faculty Senate Day, when school is not in session. Parent volunteers weigh, record totals, and load the cans onto trucks. Then the local sanitation company transports the cans to a nearby recycling center. At each monthly collection, all recy- clers are rewarded for their efforts. Novelties, prizes, and visits from such •famous personalities as Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and Halli the Clown boost enthusiasm. In addition, special prizes can be earned by top recyclers. At the end of the school year, any re- cycler who has saved more than 100 3 1 pounds gets a cash reward. Televisions, CD players, bicycles, and even a com- puter system are just a few examples of prizes earned by these young envi- ronmentalists. Used Goods Auction In March, the WEE CAN Club sponsors an auction of used goods. Parents, rela- tives, friends, neighbors, and business- es are all asked to donate unwanted items that are still in working condition to our used -goods auction. Everything from clothing to household appliances to toys is donated, and every last item sold. Were it not for this special sale, many of these items would end up in the landfill or possibly littering our beautiful mountain state. Spring Cleanup In April, the WEE CAN Club —in con - junction with the Solid Waste Authority, the Department of Environmental Pro- tection, Preventive Pollution Open Dumps (P -POD), and the West Virginia Division of Highways — sponsors a two- day free community cleanup at the local State Road Garage. The event is publicized by radio and newspaper. This campaign encourages residents to properly dispose of white goods, metal, and aluminum. Parent volunteers and members from the Solid Waste Authority work cooperatively throughout the cleanup, separating recyclable items from non - recyclables. Our Partner in Education, Meadow River Mines, provides a tractor - trailer truck to transport the recyclables to a recycling center. The Division of Highways hauls all nonrecyclables to the landfill for proper disposal. The Environmental Benefit As part of our program, students leam how important recycling aluminum is. Kids and parents work together on litter cleanup. Through monthly environmental edu- cation activities, students have teamed that litter is unsightly and unsafe and that it spoils the loveliness of our natural areas. Even preschool and kindergarten students have begun to practice basic litter control at school as "Sparklers? Sparklers keep their work area, the classroom, the hallways, and the play- ground sparkling clean through a contin- uous war on litter. Gathering Partners in Litter The project has corralled business part- ners. Meadow River Mine commis- sioned the older members of the local 4 -H Club to clean up a three -mile stretch of rural road that the school and the mine both share. Several business- es collect cans for the school: Ansted Motors, Meadow River Mine, and Ansted Center Nursing Home. Dave's Sanitation volunteered transportation to the recycling center. Top Results Bring in Money In 1999, approximately 600,000 alu- minum cans were recycled by the WEE CAN Club. Students earned more than $6,000 from the sale of 20,000 pounds of aluminum cans, $1,400 from the sale of 68 tons of scrap metal, and $2,800 from the sale of donated used goods. The Club also was credited with collecting almost 50 tons of trash, which was hauled to local landfills. This program found great support in the community. Aluminum can recy- cling and litter clean- z* "` up are two important components of Divide Elementary School's comprehensive environ- mental outreach program. NSDA's Preston Read presents the school with a first -place award. Kathy Flint & Martha Kesler, Divide Elementary WEE CAN Club, Lookout, WV. Tel. 304/574 -1443 IFK Youth Category Scouts Drive Litter From Topeka Highway By Kathy Dechand ombining the efforts of the Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, and local businesses, we sought to solve a litter problem on the busiest road- way of our city. Simply picking it up, though, was not enough. We also wanted to raise awareness and re- duce or prevent the litter from occur- ring in the first place. We called our project Wana Make Wanamaker Better — Mission: Possible. Growth Creates Cleanup Need The rapid growth and development in Topeka along Wanamaker Road creat- ed the Wanamaker Corridor. This two - mile stretch is home to more than 300 businesses, including more than 25 fast - food/carry-out establishments. M.SuxW!! Anal 2.2000 School club 'receives natitonal honor TNYM .

This program was split into two components: identifying the source of the litter and removing it. As the local scout troops cleaned up, they record- ed what they found. This information was gathered and tabulated into a summary and shared with the local Keep America Beautiful affiliate and some of the main fast -food establish- ments along the corridor. Participants in the cleanup also resolved not to throw trash out of car windows. Information packets to participating scout troops included safety instruc- tions, hand protection, documenta- tion information, and educational Continued on page 5 ilterl Super -Lube 10-Minute Oil Change has 13 locations in Tallahassee, making the company the ideal partner for distribution of Keep Tallahassee /Leon County Beautiful's "Super -Clean Sweep" packets.

Busi- nesses along the corridor received fly- ers outlining the need to encourage environmentally responsible actions from customers and employees, to support the participants, to complete an awareness checklist to review their solid -waste handling policies, and to spread the word. We placed signs along the route dur- ing the cleanup phase, alerting motor- ists to the volunteers on the roadside and informing them about the program. The nightly news also helped in relay- ing the need for responsible behavior. Teamwork to Clean Up This project was based on a partner- ship between Scouts and local busi- nesses. Our business partners includ- �de Keep America Beautiful- Topeka/ hawnee County; FastSigns, who pro- vided 15 double -sided signs to post along the road for safety and aware- ness; TFMComm, Inc., who lent two - way radios; the media, who helped spread the word; and local police, who ensured safety. We needed the cooperation of these groups because of the chal- lenges posed by the project. Safety was a real concern. Wanamaker Road is Topeka's busiest street with the high- est number of reported accidents, no shoulder, four lanes of traffic at 40 MPH, and zillions of entrances. Our target area of two miles also was a long stretch, with a lot of litter. But after three months of preparation with local businesses and all involved, the proj- ect came off without a hitch. Ninety -two volunteers gave 267.5 hours of a cold morning to remove more than 100 bags of trash. Businesses pro- vided more than $1,200 worth of goods and services. The results were immedi- ate. Businesses turned around from being not very interested in this proj- ect to developing a sense of ownership and volunteering for the next cleanup. The community discussions have moved from complaints about the litter to dis- cussions of possible solutions. Safety was a real concern when scouts decided to clean up Topeka's .busiest high-r?, way, but signs, two- way radios, and safety gear solved the problem. Not - for - profit Category Knoxville Spies on Litter By Tom Salter Keep Knoxville Beautiful (KKB) is a non -profit organization gov- erned by a volunteer board of directors. Our mission is to promote a cleaner, greener, more beautiful com- munity. Our traditional spring cleanup attracted a lot of litter cleanup volun- teers, but in 1999 we wanted to use the popularity of this event to raise aware- ness that: (1) litter comes from several sources, not just teenage motorists, or other limited perceptions; (2) it often is caused by mishandling waste, not just by fast -food and convenience store customers; and (3) litter can be pre- vented by covering vehicle loads, and using trash cans and other proper means of storing, transporting, and dis- posing of solid waste. We also incorpo- rated the seven sources of litter as defined by Keeping America Beautiful in all of our printed material speeches and our Web site. Extensive Cleanup Plans In an eight -week period, we ran a num- ber of programs as part of the local Great American Cleanup. I Spy on Litter is a telephone hotline for citizens to report littering. After a citizen makes a report, KKB writes a letter to the litterbug, detailing the negative effects of littering and recom- mending litter - prevention practices. We recently added the I Spy program to our Web site (www.korrnekorg/KeepKnox). When a major corporation's driver was cited for littering, local TV news cov- ered the story, increasing the number of reports made on -line. Visitors to the site also receive litter prevention infor- mation that is not available through the telephone hotline. Our traditional neighborhood clean- up program involved more than 3,000 citizens from 93 neighborhoods, church- es, youth groups, and businesses. This year, they collected about 286,000 pounds of trash. These cleanups are held over an eight -week period. Litter research has shown that young males are frequent litterers. A local radio station targeting 18- to 35 -year- old males conducted a contest to win a 5! camper top. This program publicized the problem of roadside litter from loose items falling from or blowing off of uncovered vehicles. The campaign included public service announce- ments and ad libbing by popular DJs. Entrants had to pledge not to allow anything to fall or blow out of a vehicle they were driving. We held a drawing on the air on Earth Day. Another successful campaign was the Media Trash Trek. We took reporters from television and newspapers on a two -hour tour to littered areas with un- secured dumpsters. The resulting sto- ries emphasized the need to secure trash containers. VIPs, elected officials, and sponsor CEOs were invited to take part in the Celebrity Cleanup, a three -hour road- side cleanup. Three county commis- sioners, a judge, a state senator, and other volunteers participated. Working Together to Curb Litter We had significant partnerships with organizations, corporations, and gov- ernment entities. They provided cash sponsorship of the promotion, used media to tell the prevention story, included the prevention approach with their own volunteer training, or organ- ized major cleanups. Our partners included Baptist Hos- pital, CAC Americorps Creek Cleanup, City of Knoxville Solid Waste, !jams Nature Center River Rescue, Keep Ten- nessee Beautiful, Knox County Solid Waste Division, Knoxville Coca Cola, Knoxville Utilities Board, The Knoxville News - Sentinel, Pi Kappa Alpha Frater- nity, TDOT Adopt -a- Highway Volunteers, Keep Knoxville Beautiful turned its traditional spring cleanup into an educa- tional campaign to teach consumers more about the sources of litter. Most people don't realize that improperly handled waste, such as uncovered or overflowing trash containers, or uncovered trucks, are significant sources of accidental littering. The targeted focus of the campaign won an NSDA award and the praise of Tennessee Governor Don Sundquist (center, gray suit).

TN Department of Corrections Work Project, WVLT Volunteer Television (CBS), WIMZ Classic Rock 103.5, and Southeast Paper Recycling. We also counted on three churches, five clubs, 11 employee groups, 12 families, 15 schools and youth groups, and 39 neighborhood organizations. Innovative Measurement We use a measurement tool only recently field tested and adopted by Keep America Beautiful: the Litter Index. It uses a four -point Leichert scale to rate how much visible litter is present in randomly selected areas of the com- munity. We conducted a baseline in June 1999, with observations of 60 ran- dom locations in six distinct neighbor- hoods in Knoxville. Commercial, resi- dential, industrial, and rural areas were included. We will repeat the Litter In- dex each June. The option for citizens to remain anonymous when they report litter- bugs is key to our successful Web site reporting section. It has tripled the number of reports we receive per year, from about 100 before the I Spy Web form to more than 300 in 1999. We recognized volunteers and co� porate sponsors at two events. A kic off luncheon was held to thank corpo- rate sponsors and to thank a number of volunteer groups for committing to the cleanup effort. At the end of the cam- paign, cash prizes, gift certificates, and certificates of appreciation were given to individuals and groups who collect- ed the most litter, as well as to poster contest winners. • Tom Salter Keep Knoxville Beautiful, Knoxville, TN.

A meeting was held at the Wargo Nature Center in mid- January, 2000 to discuss potential funding sources for natural resource inventory work within this high priority area. Hannah Dunevitz, DNR Regional Plant Ecologist, and Jason Husveth of Critical Connections, Inc. presented. Many of the current project stakeholders attended this meeting. A Planning Grant proposal was submitted to the Metro Greenways Grant Program on January 28, 2000. Chris Lord of the Anoka Conservation District agreed to serve as Grant Administrator for this project. Several other municipalities, government agencies, and watershed districts provided cash matches and in -kind contributions. The grant application was awarded in full in May, 2000. The project area consists of 38,643 acres located between and including the southern arm of Carlos Avery WMA and the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Corridor. Highway 35W transects the project area. A wide gradient of land cover and land use is represented within the study area, including dense commercial/industrial lands, residential areas, agricultural fields, and large expanses of remaining natural and semi - natural lands (refer to GIS printout). The primary objective of this project is to collect land cover for the. 38,643 acres included in this project area, and to make this information available and as useful as possible to all stakeholders for planning purposes. Future projects will likely use this information for greenway planning, analysis, and design, natural resource inventories and evaluation, watershed planning, and development review. Furthermore, these data will be used next field season to survey for and locate new rare plant populations within the corridor. • 3) Project Timeline and Resources: August 01, 2000 through July 31, 2001 Are their special needs and constraints (temporal, financial, other) of funding coming from project partners contributing cash contributions? a.
