slide3. Rainwater that flows over streets, driveways, and lawns Answer: Runoff<br>
slide4. The place where rainwater ends up after flowing over streets, driveways, and lawns, picking up pollutants along the way Answer: Local rivers and streams<br>
slide5. Answer: Pollutants that can be washed into our waterways Dog poop, litter, chemicals, fertilizers, and motor oil<br>
slide6. Answer: pH The metric that measures how acidic or basic water<br>
slide7. Answer: Phosphates A nutrient often found in soap that can negatively impact waterways by encouraging algae and weed growth<br>
slide8. Answer: Aquatic macroinvertebrates Water bugs that are visible to the naked eye and don’t have a spine<br>
slide9. Answer: Fish, frogs, birds, other macroinvertebrates Animals that eat aquatic macroinvertebrates<br>
slide10. Answer: Larval stage The stage all macroinvertebrates start in, where development occurs after they hatch and before they become adults<br>
slide11. Answer: Dragonflies, mayflies, damselflies Macroinvertebrates that go through metamorphosis<br>
slide12. Answer: Mayfly A macroinvertebrate with three tails and gills on the sides of its abdomen<br>
slide13. Answer: The MWMC’s Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant Where dirty water goes to be cleaned after you flush the toilet or take a shower<br>
slide14. Answer: The Willamette River Where the MWMC sends wastewater after it has been cleaned<br>
slide15. Answer: The MWMC Laboratory The place where 22,000 tests are conducted each year to make sure wastewater meets water quality standards<br>
slide16. Answer: Pretreatment The first step in the wastewater treatment process where items like trash and disposable wipes are physically removed<br>
slide17. Answer: 106 Olympic-size pools The number of Olympic-size pools the 35 million gallons of water the MWMC treats each day could fill<br>
slide18. Answer: Microorganisms Organisms so small they can only be seen with a microscope<br>
slide19. Answer: Biological Treatment The phase of the wastewater treatment process where microorganisms eat pollutants out of the water<br>
slide20. Answer: Aeration basins The place at the Wastewater Treatment Plant in which microorganisms are mixed with incoming wastewater<br>
slide21. Answer: Oxidation The process of adding oxygen to water to break down pollutants<br>
slide22. Answer: Metazoa A type of microorganism that eats bacteria, algae, and protozoa, indicating a longer aged system<br>
slide23. Answer: Pollution Prevention The act of reducing the amount of pollutants that enter the wastewater system<br>
slide24. Answer: “Flushable” wipes, baby wipes, paper towels Common solid pollutants that must be physically removed from wastewater at the treatment plant, since they don’t break down in water like toilet paper does<br>
slide25. Answer: Fats, oils, and grease Materials that harden in wastewater pipes when poured down the drain and can cause clogs<br>
slide26. Answer: Pee, poop, and toilet paper The only three items that should be flushed down the toilet<br>
slide27. Answer: Source reduction The elimination of waste before it is created<br>
slide28. Answer: Sustainability The act of taking good care of the resources we have and reducing waste<br>
slide29. Answer: Biosolids The material the MWMC produces from human waste that’s used as a safe fertilizer on the Biocycle Farm and local grass farms<br>
slide30. Answer: Poplar Trees The type of trees the MWMC grows on its Biocycle Farm<br>
slide31. Answer: Recycled Water Treated wastewater that is used to irrigate the poplar tree farm<br>
slide32. Answer: Renewable Natural Gas The type of gas the MWMC is working to produce by converting energy generated in the wastewater treatment process into something that can be used as a clean fuel for cars<br>
slide33. Answer: Chinook Salmon The largest species of Pacific salmon that is a vital food source for a variety of wildlife (and a fish we work to protect through water quality efforts)<br>
