On June 15 and July 1, 2009 the District Department of the Environment (DDOE) held the first two of four (4) scheduled public outreach meetings to consider implementation strategies and seek stakeholder input in developing soil erosion and sedimentation control and stormwater management regulations (stormwater regulations). These stakeholder meetings provided the public a chance to comment on DDOE’s draft proposed stormwater regulations. DDOE has received some extremely useful and substantial comments on the draft proposed regulations. It appeared at the conclusion of the second meeting that persons who were interested in attending and providing comment had done so, and that there was no further comment to be provided. Accordingly, DDOE has decided to review the comments received and then determine if additional stakeholder meetings would be useful. Should additional questions arise after this review, DDOE may organize another stakeholder meeting.

 

In the meantime, interested stakeholders may still provide written comments to Sheila Besse by Wednesday, July 29, or contact (202) 535 2244 with further questions on the stakeholder process.”
