Distributing educational materials and performing outreach to inform citizens about the impacts polluted storm water runoff discharges can have on water quality.

AS THE PUBLIC BECOMES MORE INFORMED ABOUT THE EFFECTS THEIR ACTIVITIES HAVE ON THE QUALITY OF THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT AROUND THEM, THEY ARE MORE LIKELY TO SUPPORT AND COMPLY WITH POLICIES TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT.

The Public Education and Outreach element will be crucial to the success of the Stormwater Management Program, and should be initiated early in the program.
