22 <br />PUBLIC EDUCATION PROGRAM COMPONENTS <br />• Description of Public Education Program <br />Pursuant to the Neuse River Basin Nutrient Management Strategy rules adopted on <br />December 11, 1997 by the North Cazolina Environmental Management Commission, <br />Orange County is required to adopt and implement a local program to control nitrogen <br />runoff from new and existing development. One section of the required local program is a <br />annual Public Education campaign with a Public Education Action Plan to be submitted <br />by October 1 of each year (starting 2001). <br />Triangle J Council of Governments has proposed a coordinated mass media approach <br />with an annual payment by each of the affected governments .After staff review of the <br />requirements, County Planning and Erosion Control staff generated a sample education <br />plan with anticipated costs for one yeaz. <br />We believe that a Public Education campaign that is staff coordinated and locally focused <br />will be more successful and cost-effective. Please see the following proposals from the <br />Planning and Erosion Control staff. <br />12 <br />
