How can the public participate in the Proactive Approach?
Because the proactive approach relies on voluntary implementation of corrective actions, the public’s participation in the process is crucial. The public can participate in several ways: • Nominate potential candidates for the proactive approach to your local DEQ TMDL Coordinator (see address list below). • Find a sponsor for the proactive approach in your watershed and develop a Proactive Action Plan (see below). • Participate in streamwalks and other data collection activities to help identify major sources of bacteria pollution. • Implement corrective actions on your property or help others to do so.
