Thank you for being willing to share your collective wisdom, ideas, comments, and perspectives
with the Stormwater Work Group. We appreciate your willingness to help us develop a new
regional stormwater monitoring and assessment strategy. We hope to accomplish two things today:

1) Share the revised Scientific Framework and new draft Implementation Plan for
Regional Stormwater Monitoring.

We value your feedback.  Thank you again for coming today!
