Working groups of staff and public officials met repeatedly over several months to determine the best possible plan for developing a program to detect and eliminate illicit discharges in their own communities. A cafeteria list of options has been presented and we will be choosing the most logical and effective set of BMPs to suit our own needs. A comparison of the requirements and the capacity of most jurisdictions by Miami Conservancy District's (MCD) staff prompted the organization to make a commitment to assist all collaborating communities by locating these communities' outfalls and identifying their receiving streams. Details about our plan's measurable goals, timeline, responsible party, and rationale for choosing those goals are contained within the program overview chart above.
