Complete report - Partners for Clean Streams

INTRODUCTION
Activities and Accomplishments in the Maumee Area of Concern is a status report on the various activities,
programs, events, and policies that have taken place over the last 10 years or more throughout our AOC.
This is not just a listing of Maumee RAP events, rather it is intended to serve as a summary of actions
completed by everyone that lives, works or sets policy to improve water quality.
The Maumee RAP published their original Recommendations Report in 1991; a culmination of three years of
planning and research completed by a wide representation of stakeholders. The 1991 Recommendations
Report has served as a “plan of action” for the Maumee RAP and its partners. This Activities &
Accomplishments Report provides baseline information for measuring what has been done and what still
needs to be addressed. This report is the foundation for the Maumee RAP’s next Recommendations Report
which will guide our region’s activities through the next decade and beyond.
How to Use this Document
As is evident by the volume of information included in this report, significant efforts have taken place to
address the water quality needs of the Maumee AOC. It should be noted that this document only summarizes
activities and the organizations involved with these activities. Readers are encouraged to follow up with the
respective contacts in the back of this report to obtain additional project details.
This document is not intended to be read cover to cover. While that wouldn’t be discouraged, it is designed
for use as a handy reference. The Recommendations & Accomplishments Table in the front half of this
report cites each recommendation excerpted from the 1991 Recommendations Report (numbers in
parenthesis following each recommendation refers to the location of the recommendation in the original
report). Status on whether each recommendation has been implemented is divided into six phases:
" = No Action - recommendation has not been implemented.
# = Limited Action - minimal actions have/are taking place to implement recommendation.
$ = Significant Action – actions have/are taking place to implement recommendation.
% = Action Complete – recommendation has been implemented.
& = Action Ongoing – recommendation is being implemented (oftentimes associated with
an annual event).
- = Not Applicable - policies and/or regulations have changed, therefore
recommendations are no longer applicable.
The table also includes columns to reference the title of the activity, the date it occurred, and a page number
to find its Activity Description in the second section of the report. The Maumee RAP’s participation is also
indicated through three levels of involvement:
Lead
The Maumee RAP is/was the lead organization or was part of a team of leading organizations
to sponsor/coordinate the event or the program.
Collaborator The Maumee RAP is/has assisted with the project, reviewed and commented on technical
documents, provided financial assistance or another type of support to a lead organizer.
