Public outreach and education (audiences): Public outreach and education occurred through the development and presentation of the project products listed above. A brief description of the audiences reached by product type is given below. Magazine and web-based articles. Our article in Stormwater Magazine potentially reached 25,000 subscribers. The article posted on the Stormwater Updates webpage potentially reached 3,000 subscribers. Academic journals. We anticipate that several hundred people each will read two articles produced by this project, and cited 20-100 times each, over time. Workshops. Approximately 80 people attended each of the first two workshops. These were mostly professional public works staff and consultants. Post-workshop evaluation revealed that 93% responded that they found the planning calculator tool “helpful” or “very helpful”; 96% or that our workshops provided them “strongly agreed” “somewhat agreed” with to plan street sweeping for nutrient removal; and 86% “new skills responded that their cities or likely to adopt would “very likely” “somewhat enhanced street sweeping over the next 3-5 years. More evaluation details are presented in Appendix E. Other talks. We estimate that about 440 people attended other talks. Audiences were highly varied. Some audiences comprised mainly watershed managers and planners; others were mostly research scientists. Guest lectures. Classes were mostly upper division classes, which typically have about 20 students, on average, so we estimate that about 220 students attended 12 lectures across diverse disciplines. In summary, it is very likely that our message has reached most of the public works or streets departments in cities in the Twin Cities region, as well as many
