Blue is the New Green

“Blue is the new Green” – completed in 2015, this 10 minute video reviews the Do’s and Don’ts of basic stormwater pollution prevention practices that should be implemented by everyone in their home, in their yard, and when they are out and about. This training tool will assist with educating the general public so they can learn to do the right things to help protect our environment; especially focusing on ways to help keep our waterways clean. Since the green, environmental movement is very popular, the video’s title is a play on turning stormwater or “blue” into the next, new “green” movement!

Proper Concrete Washout Procedures For Contractors

In 2013, this 9 minute video was shot in Hamilton County with the participation of the Indiana Ready Mix Concrete Association. The goal of this video was to add practices for properly managing concrete washout and concrete finishing discharges for end users. The video features updated BMPs including how to washout in smaller areas.
