The Hamilton County Storm Water District and Soil and Water Conservation District have employed innovative approaches to building public education and outreach programs, leveraging resources, and meeting NPDES requirements within 41 jurisdictions. This presentation covers some of the most unique and watershed-focused outreach programs, including monitoring of water chemistry and biological surveys. Partnerships with the University of Cincinnati, watershed groups, and citizen volunteers enable monitoring of 65 locations, and the sampling efforts have provided opportunities for collaboration with other state and local agencies. Sampling and analysis targets include septic system and sanitary sewer hotspots, in-stream projects, stormwater BMPs, landfill runoff, and more. More than 500 volunteers have contributed more than 2,000 volunteer hours.
