How can
stakeholders
participate?
Public involvement is a vital part of the TMDL implementation process. Every citizen and interested party in the watershed is encouraged to become involved in developing the TMDL IP. Public involvement ensures that the IP will be sensitive to local stakeholder concerns and will be integrated with other ongoing water quality improvement efforts. When developing an IP, public participation can occur at several levels: attending public informational meetings, or serving on the TMDL IP steering committee. The TMDL IP steering committee typically functions much like a board of directors, and includes representatives from each focus group. The success of the TMDL implementation effort rests with the watershed stakeholders. Stakeholder participation, in the form of implementing the corrective actions laid out in the TMDL IP, is what will ultimately restore water quality.
