June 19, 2001

The Clean Water Network has just released a new Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) handbook for activists ,Äì The Ripple Effect:  How to make waves in the turbulent world of watershed cleanup plans. The Ripple Effect is designed to help citizens get involved in the development and implementation of TMDLs.  The handbook walks you through the cleanup plan process and suggests questions to ask, policy and technical issues to raise, organizing and media tactics to try, and more.

Hard copies of the handbook are FREE for Clean Water Network members...spread them far and wide!  Copies are $10 each for non-members. Bulk orders (i.e. more than 50) will be considered individually.  To order your copies, contact Merritt Frey at [email protected] or 208-345-7776. Alternatively, find
the handbook in a downloadable, pdf format at www.cwn.org in the impaired waters section.

Thanks to the nearly 40 members of the TMDL work group who reviewed and greatly improved this handbook!

NOTE:  For those of  you who tentatively ordered copies of this handbook in April/May, I'll be contacting you shortly to see if you still would like the same number of handbooks.
