MCM24.2.2 Public Involvement / Participation

4.2.2.1 Permit requirement. Permittees are required to involve the public in the planning and implementation of activities related to the development and implementation of the SWMP. The proposed Public Involvement / Participation MCM should provide, among other things, a forum and a structure by which to encourage, or to allow, the public to participate. There may be specific ways the public might be involved, based on a program particular needs. For instance, you may want stream watch groups to be organized. As such, the proposed program should describe how this will be accomplished, and the time schedule to do so. At a minimum, permittees shall:

4.2.2.1.1 Create opportunities for citizens to participate in the implementation of stormwater controls (e.g., stream clean-ups, storm drain stenciling, volunteer monitoring, and educational activities).

4.2.2.1.2 Ensure the public can easily find information about the permittee’s SWMP

4.2.2.1.3 Incorporate written procedures for implementing the PIP MCM into the SWMP.

Gone away is the bluebird, Here to stay is a new bird He sings a love song, As we go along, Walking in a winter wonderland. In the meadow we can build a snowman, Then pretend that he is Parson Brown He'll say: Are you married? We'll say: No man, But you can do the job When you're in town. Later on, we'll conspire, As we dream by the fire To face unafraid, The plans that we've made, Walking in a winter wonderland.

Rain drops freeze, are you listening, Along the streets, snow is glistening A beautiful sight, We’re happy tonight, Walking in a winter waterland. Gone away is the litter, Here to stay is clean water, We sing a clear song, As we go along, Walking in a winter waterland. Around the county we can build some snowmen, They are frozen water round and round We’ll say: Are you merry? They’ll say: yes ma’am, Cause clean water is our gift from the towns. Later on, we’ll pick up pet waste As we dream of more clean space, No pesticides or oil, fertilizers or eroded soil, Walking in a winter waterland… Walking…in a clean water… wonderland…Pickens County!

Problem with Wild Hogs, Beavers or Coyotes? Want to Know Your Options?

Date: Tuesday, March 18, 2014

Time: 1:30 – 4:30 p.m.

Where: SC DNR Clemson Office, 311 Natural Resources Drive, Clemson, SC 29631

Who: W. Cory Heaton, Agriculture and Natural Resources Agent

What: Discussing the latest research and hunting regulations with wild hogs, beavers and coyotes

Registration Fee: $20

** Please RSVP to Renee Watson 864-878-1394 ext. 114 by 4:30 p.m. March 7th. **

Wild hogs, coyotes and beavers destroy and harm our natural resources and agricultural land. Wild hogs spread bacteria in our waterways and destroy our cropland. Coyotes pose a threat to newborn or sick livestock. Beavers cause floods, timber damage, and weaken shorelines causing erosion. Learning the best ways to control these pests allows for better land and natural resource protection as well as healthier and safer livestock.

Clemson University Cooperative Extension Service offers its programs to people of all ages, regardless of race, color, gender, religion, national origin, disability, political beliefs, sexual orientation, marital or family status and is an equal opportunity employer.

Finn The Storm Drain Dog

Pet Waste

Pet  waste  carries  bacteria,  viruses  and  parasites  that  can   threaten  the  health  of  humans  and  wildlife.         The  average  dog  produces  3/4  pounds  of  waste  every   day.                 A  single  gram  of  dog  feces  can  contain  23  million  fecal               coliform  bacteria,  which  can  spread  diseases  like                   Giardia,  Salmonella  and  Campylobacter. Pet  waste  contains  phosphorous  and  nitrogen  which   are  nutrients  that  can  cause  algae  and  weed  growth   in  water  bodies.

Rainwater  that  flows  across  yards,  ditches,  parks  and  trails  on  its  way  to  our  creeks,  rivers  and  lakes  through  streets  and  storm  drains  is  called  stormwater.    Pet  waste  left  on  the  ground  can  contribute  to  stormwater  pollution.

Pick  up  pet  waste  and   place  it  in  the  trash!
