Those disruptions are a reminder that along with winter rains comes the possibility of localized <br />flooding. Several pages of the fall 2012 stormwater program newsletter, Stormwater Connections, covers flood insurance, <br />safety tips, flood risk and a floodplain map of Eugene. <br /> <br />Residents who want to dispose of leaves or find better <br />ways to use them will find the 2012-13 leaf collection <br />schedule and suggestions on how to integrate them <br />back into the landscape. After all, decomposed leaves <br />have the ability to hold 300 to 500 percent of their <br />weight in water. <br /> <br />Those who have pondered the best way to dispose of <br />outdated or no-longer-needed pharmaceuticals can <br />find a listing of several drug take-back drop box <br />locations and the best methods of disposal. <br /> <br />Other informative topics include the latest findings <br />about the levels of zinc found in water and soils, the <br />sometimes disastrous consequences of unsecured <br />loads on trucks and other vehicles and a retrospective <br />look at water quality and the seemingly innocuous products that can compromise river health. <br /> <br />The focus of Stormwater Connections is educating and informing community members about stormwater pollution and <br />ways to protect the local waterways. Articles in Stormwater Connections typically address seasonal or current issues and <br />include one page of interest for younger readers. <br /> <br />Copies of the newsletter are now available electronically at www.eugene-or.gov/happyrivers. Eugene residents can also <br />expect to receive the newsletter delivered via mail next week.
