organization to deliver the wide range of programs, projects, and community outreach efforts

associated with water quality improvements that have been of long standing interest to the Maumee

RAP community.

Partners for Clean Streams will provide many community education and fundraising projects, such

as: Get the Lead Out! and Clean Your Streams. They intend to help TMACOG to continue to

provide the Student Watershed Watch program. In addition, through a PCS/RAP cooperative

projects that will lead to direct improvements of our waterways and $50,000 from Ohio EPA to

assist with further establishing PCS as a community organization to improve water quality.
