\r\n The Florence Darlington Stormwater Consortium (FDSC) is coordinated by Clemson’s Carolina Clear program. It is comprised of three municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s): the City of Florence, Darlington County, and Florence County as well as several important partnering organizations. This collaboration enables the FDSC to deliver a consistent and effective outreach program throughout the watershed.
\r\n
\r\n Miller Communications offered to allow Extension employees to record 30 second PSAs to be aired on their Florence and Sumter market stations. WIBZ, WDXY, and WWHM air in Sumter while WFRK, WDLH, and WSIM air in Florence. WWBD and WWKT are dual market stations. Two PSAs have been recorded at Miller Communications as part of the FDSC Education Plan with the goal of promoting positive behavior change and reduction of pollutant load in impaired waterbodies. With fecal coliform being the most common pollutant resulting in impairment in the FDSC area, the first PSA recorded addresses the importance of picking up and properly disposing of pet waste. Since Carolina Clear also coordinates a consortium in Sumter County, Sumter Stormwater Solutions was mentioned as a sponsor. It began airing November 12, 2010. The second PSA was recorded to promote the 2011 Pee Dee Backyard Landscape Series which is a 7 month program with presentations once a month that promote environmentally friendly landscaping practices. It began airing on February 28, 2011.
