equirements, some objectives go beyond the minimum requirements, and some objectives are difficult to categorize. Discretion was used to determine how the uncategorical objectives are classified. Note that each goal and objective should be considered in association with other goals and objectives, as applicable. For example, Goal 1 is focused on educating the public on many different topics. These education efforts will be coordinated with efforts included in the remaining goals as much as practicable to provide the greatest benefit. Goal 1: Educate the Public about the Importance of Protecting and Managing the Watershed. The aim of Goal 1 is to develop an aggressive multi-media public education plan to define watersheds and storm water, encourage homeowner stewardship, and advertise watershed events targeted at the general public, stakeholders, municipal officials and planning boards. Source: KSU, 2005 While many of the Goal 1 objectives fulfill the minimum Phase II Permit requirements, several go beyond the minimum requirements and are indicated as such. Specifically, the Goal 1 objectives fulfill Part I.A.3.b of the Watershed-Based NPDES Permit. Objectives under this goal will be incorporated into updated Public Education Plans (PEP). The objectives of the education plan recognize that multiple public entities exist, often with specific needs and requiring more tailored educational efforts. Therefore, the objectives have been grouped under three categories intended to reflect the different publics targeted by the PEP. This more focused approach will allow for better connectivity between the identified watershed issues and concerns and the education programs. The three categories are: • Youth Programs (K-12); • General Public Education; • Business/Restaurant Education. Tri-County Curb Marker, Courtesy of Tri-County RPC, June 2005. Youth Programs (K-12) Objective Required* 1a School Education: Assist local school districts in developing a Yes science curriculum on watershed studies. General Public Education Objective Required* 1b Public Participation: Develop and maintain Storm Drain Yes Marking. Provide routine updates to the general public, the stakeholders and the municipal officials. 1c Support participation in Adopt-A-River program. Yes 1d Develop an educational campaign to encourage preservation and reestablishment of native riparian vegetation and to emphasize the importance of wetlands in the community. Yes Section 6: Goals and Objectives 6-3
1e Homeowner Education: Develop an educational campaign for Yes maintenance and operation of on-site sewage disposal systems, household hazardous waste, lawn maintenance, automobile maintenance and private wellhead protection for all homeowners. 1f Maintain GLRC Public and Project Web Site. Yes 1g Public Participation: Develop a community based volunteer Yes group and train them to assist with watershed-wide actions such as stream corridor inventories and road stream crossings and publicize the results. 1h Update Public Education Plan (PEP) to reflect this WMP. Yes Business & Restaurant Education Objective 1i Business Education: Salt application, good housekeeping of parking lots and grounds, oil/grease disposal, cleaning agent use. Restaurant Education: No Grease in Storm Drains *The ‘Required’ column indicates whether an objective is required under the Phase II Permit. Required* Yes Goal 2: Provide a Sustainable and Equitable Funding Source For any plan to be fully implemented and sustained for the long-term, a funding source must be identified. In fulfillment of this goal, it is anticipated that a funding sub-committee will be coordinated to establish budget needs and funding mechanisms. Objective Required* 2a Develop and Adopt a funding strategy to support the WMP. Yes 6-4 Looking Glass River Watershed April 2007
