The City of Oregon Department of Public Service has structured the best management practices (BMPs) to address the pollutants that impact our area.  To increase the success of the Storm Water Management Plan, we provided the public with an opportunity to the public to assist in the review of our plan.  The public involvement/participation programs will conduct outreach activities to encourage the public to become involved in the reduction these pollutants.

  The City of Oregon will promote public participation and involvement by including the public in establishing the best management practices, conducting public meetings, organizing a storm drain stenciling program, and including an email link to the storm water website.

Streams Clean-Ups

Plan to join us for the 14th Annual Clean Your Streams Day, Saturday, September 18, 2010 .   Check-in begins at 8:00 am at the Oregon Municipal Building, 5330 Seaman Road, Oregon, Ohio 43616.
 
On Saturday, September 12th, 2009, Clean Your Streams volunteers signed in at one of eight kickoff locations and were assigned to a clean up site along one of our area waterways including Maumee and Ottawa rivers, as well as Swan, Duck, Amolsch, and Otter creeks.  In Oregon, 63 volunteers cleaned five sites along Amolsch and Otter Creeks.  Overall, 649 volunteers removed 18,075 pounds of litter.  The Maumee RAP (Remedial Action Program) which has merged with Partners for Clean Streams (PCS) has coordinated the annual Clean Your Streams Day in early September since 1997. 

Clean Your Streams has always been a part of Ohio’s Coastweeks cleanups, which are held in conjunction with the International Coastal Cleanup.  Clean Your Streams is part of a large international effort to raise awareness of pollution, identify the sources, and work to eliminate them.  We can all do out part to help clean our streams!
