The Ontario-Wayne Stormwater Coalition (OWSC) website (http://owsc.org/) has been established to serve as a source of information for stormwater management related topics/issues, local construction projects and current events that the public can access at any time. The OWSC helps to organize Community Events throughout the year in which Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) brochures, Public Education Displays, Multi-Media Training Kits and Public Information Press Packages are made available to the public. The OWSC also sends out direct mailings to local residents and provides notification of stormwater and construction related training sessions for contractors, MS4 staff members and the public to attend.
