STAKEHOLDER INVOLVEMENT PROCESS. The Stakeholder Involvement Plan (SIP), Appendix D, for this Project, is intended to supplement previous activities and describe the basic method by which additional input can continue to be solicited and received throughout the duration of the Project. Stakeholder input and community goals have been and will continue to be considered throughout implementation of the Project. PSNS will maintain and update the SIP to provide for continued Stakeholder involvement over the duration of this XL Project.
STAKEHOLDER INVOLVEMENT PROCESS. Stakeholder involvement is considered essential by both MSD and EPA and has been an important part of the concept and development of this project since 1998. MSD began reaching out to stakeholders shortly after EPA’s June 1998 announcement of pretreatment pilot opportunities under Project XL. This outreach continued as MSD developed its pre-proposal and proposal. MSD conducted a series of meetings over several months with key stakeholders and professionals at other WWTPs, culminating in a formal Stakeholder Orientation Meeting. MSD has since identified additional stakeholders and has begun holding stakeholder meetings. MSD will structure the stakeholder process to match the three project phases. The phases themselves entail different activities, with different needs and opportunity for stakeholder involvement and input. MSD’s Stakeholder Participation Plan, Appendix A, is intended to supplement previous activities and describe the basic method by which additional input can continue to be solicited and received throughout the duration of the project. Stakeholder input and community goals will be considered as MSD redevelops its pretreatment program for the Jefferstown WWTP. MSD will maintain and update the Plan to provide for continued stakeholder involvement over the duration of this XL Project. Stakeholders who have been identified and asked to participate in the development of this Project are listed in Appendix B.

This outreach continued as MSD developed its pre-proposal and proposal. MSD conducted a series of meetings over several months with key stakeholders and professionals, culminating in a formal Stakeholder Orientation Meeting (in October 1999). MSD has since identified additional stakeholders and has begun holding regular quarterly stakeholder meetings. In addition, monthly Stakeholder Work Group meetings were held from March, 2000 to July, 2000 for the development of this Agreement. Stakeholders who have been identified and asked to participate in the development of this Project are listed in Appendix B. (The Work Group volunteers are noted in Appendix B with an asterisk.) The dates and subjects of Stakeholder meetings and Stakeholder Work Group meetings are listed in Appendix C. MSD’s Stakeholder Participation Plan, Appendix D, is intended to describe the basic method by which additional input can continue to be solicited and received throughout the duration of the project. Stakeholder input and community goals will be considered as MSD redevelops its pretreatment program for the Jeffersontown WWTP. MSD will maintain and update the Stakeholder Participation Plan, as appropriate, to provide for continued stakeholder involvement over the duration of this XL Project.
STAKEHOLDER INVOLVEMENT PROCESS. As part of this plan, Xxxxxxxx will continue to develop a Stakeholder involvement program. Adequate long-range water resources planning and management require the identification and involvement of many different individuals, special interest groups and agencies. Watershed Stakeholders must be included in all aspects of the process, from initial planning, to development and implementation of the management plan. It is crucial to set up the Stakeholder Involvement Program early in the process to ensure strong future support for the water resources management plan. Ultimately, through the Stakeholder process, the County hopes to achieve collaborative goal setting for water resources management. This will place the responsibility for making decisions on water resources at the local level. The Stakeholder involvement program will provide the forum for these decisions to be made. The Stakeholder involvement program will also serve as the outreach component to the water resources management plan. Many watershed issues in the County will best be addressed by a combination of regulatory and voluntary controls. These issues include sedimentation, failing on-site systems, increased pesticide applications, and excess nutrients. In many cases the Stakeholders will be the best conduit to reach out to their constituents on voluntary practices for pollutant reductions. For example, the landscaping interests can best formulate a strategy to encourage lawn care companies to optimize their management of fertilizer applications on lawns and golf courses for the benefit of the environment. The SIP, Appendix A, for this Project, is intended to describe the basic method by which input has been and will continue to be solicited and received throughout the duration of the Project. Stakeholder input and community goals have been and will continue to be considered throughout implementation of the Project. Clermont will maintain and update the SIP to provide for continued Stakeholder involvement over the duration of this XLC Project.
