Info

Assessing the evaluation mechanisms is an annual task that will be reported in the annual progress reports. The annual progress report is required to cover decisions made, actions performed, and results of the IDEP, PEP, SWPPI, and other storm water actions conducted during the previous permit year. The IDEP and PEP are separate documents containing additional actions and evaluation mechanisms not covered in this WMP. The annual report must also cover updates of nested drainage system agreements and point source discharges to the storm water system. Integrated Assessment The integrated assessment incorporates the water quality assessment and program assessment and evaluates the entire watershed management plan as a whole. The integrated assessment identifies and addresses data gaps in the water quality monitoring program and finds causal relationships between actions taken through the WMP and changes in load reductions, discharge quality, and receiving water quality. As a result of the integrated assessment, targeted updates and revisions will be made to the WMP for submittal to the MDEQ by the March 1, 2007 deadline indicated on the certificate of coverage. Action Plan and Evaluation Mechanisms The Action Plan detailed in Section Eight describes the many action items assigned to implementation committees and Permittees. In order to evaluate the success of these action items and the overall program, evaluation mechanisms must be reviewed. There are six evaluation mechanisms described in table 9.2 and listed here: 1. Water Quality Monitoring 2. Road Stream Crossing Data 3. Public Awareness Assessment 4. Municipal Staff Training Surveys 5. Student Awareness Survey/Tests 6. Annual Canoe Trip with Stream Assessment In order to monitor the program’s progress and achievements, each objective must be evaluated. The tables below show the connection between the objective and the evaluation mechanism(s). Section 9: Evaluation Mechanisms 9-9
Goal 1: Educate the Public about the Importance of Protecting and Managing the Watershed. Youth Programs (K-12) Objective 1a School Education: Assist local school districts in developing a science curriculum on watershed studies. Evaluation Mechanism #5 – Student Awareness Survey/Tests General Public Education Objective Evaluation Mechanism 1b Public Participation: Develop and maintain Storm Drain Marking. Provide routine updates to the general public, the stakeholders and #3 – Public Awareness Assessment #4 – Municipal Staff Training Surveys the municipal officials. 1c Support participation in Adopt-A-River program. #3 – Public Awareness Assessment 1d Develop an educational campaign to encourage preservation and reestablishment of native riparian vegetation and to emphasize the importance of wetlands in the community. #1 – Water Quality Monitoring #2 – Road Stream Crossing Data #3 – Public Awareness Assessment #4 – Municipal Staff Training Surveys #6 – Annual Canoe Trip with Stream Assessment 1e Homeowner Education: Develop an educational campaign for maintenance and operation of on-site sewage disposal systems, household hazardous waste, lawn maintenance, automobile maintenance, and private wellhead protection for all homeowners. #3 – Public Awareness Assessment 1f Maintain GLRC Public and Project Web Site. #3 – Public Awareness Assessment #5 – Student Awareness Survey/Tests See Measure of Usage on Action Plan 1g Public Participation: Develop a community based volunteer group and train them to assist with watershed-wide actions such as stream corridor inventories and road stream crossing and publicize the results. #1 – Water Quality Monitoring #2 – Road Stream Crossing Data #3 – Public Awareness Assessment #5 – Student Awareness Survey/Tests #6 – Annual Canoe Trip with Stream Assessment 1h Update Public Education Plan (PEP) to reflect this WMP. Submitted revised PEP to MDEQ 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 Evaluation Mechanism #3 – Public Awareness Assessment Goal 2: Provide a Sustainable and Equitable Funding Source Objective Evaluation Mechanism 2a Develop and adopt a funding strategy to support the WMP. #3 – Public Awareness Assessment 9-10 GLRC Watersheds April 2007
