Public Participation Plan
Announcements of the upcoming cleanup and removal operation will be placed in the local newspaper, one each week for the four weeks preceding the start of the clean up procedure. Each notice will specify site locations and projected start/finish dates. Notice will be given that sites will be cordoned off and quarantined. Parental cooperation in keeping children away from the sites will be requested. Before and after photos will be taken and published along with a story commending those who participated in the clean up and removal operation.
