Saint Mary’s County Quality of Life & Stormwater: A Citizens Guide to Preserving Aquatic Assets by Maximizing Stormwater Management Benefits

The Association approved and commissioned the publication of this citizens guide and the accompanying training presentation in response to the critical area report developed by Community & Environmental Defense Services (CEDS).

CEDS recommended developing a program to recruit and train volunteers in methods for evaluating stormwater facilities for maintenance needs. In the past, similar programs have been highly effective in both identifying key opportunities to enhance environmental protection and in generating a countywide base of public support. This support then made it possible for government agencies to enhance existing protection efforts or to launch new initiatives. The Association approved the recommendation and commissioned the publication of this citizens guide and the accompanying training presentation.
