Minimum Control Measure #2
Public Involvement/Participation (PIP)
Public involvement and participation in stormwater management in Douglas County will assist us in meeting the Stormwater Phase II requirements. As a result the following PIP objectives are presented:
Program Objectives
- Gain public support for Douglas County’s stormwater management activities through public involvement, participation, education, and outreach.
- Enlist the participation of residents who have special expertise for "value-added" programs.
- Confirm that the Stormwater Management Program meets the needs and expectations of Douglas County Government and its citizens.
Target Audiences
The PIP program and the Public Education and Outreach (PEO) program are closely linked and share the same target audiences. The PIP program will focus on educating community leaders and groups, and then aid these groups in multiplying contact and participation efforts. This will be complemented by standard public notification and involvement procedures, and annual activities linked to the PEO program.
