Elected and appointed officials, engineers, wastewater plant operators, and all interested are invited to a series of public meetings on updates to the Areawide Water Quality Management Plan.
This plan, called the 208 Plan from that section of the Clean Water Act, describes how municipalities throughout four counties of Northwest Ohio and part of southeast Michigan coordinate to treat wastewater and manage development of sewer systems. The 208 Plan is updated each year with changes in environmental law and regulation, and information on the region’s water quality and local infrastructure needs.
Each meeting will include a brief overview of the 208 Plan and the needs of communities in each county. Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments (TMACOG) staff will also discuss plans to conduct a comprehensive review and update the 208 Plan over the next two years.
The meeting for Wood and Lucas counties will be held Sept. 9, from 2 to 3:30 p.m.
The meetings will be held in person at TMACOG’s office, 300 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, Toledo, with the option to attend remotely. You must register in advance to receive login information for the teleconference. Registration can be made via the Events page at www.tmacog.org/events or by contacting Matthew Kennedy: kennedy@tmacog.org. Login information will be sent within 24 hours of the meeting time to those who register.
If you need special accommodations, contact Jennifer Allen: allen@tmacog.org
