<P>Interested Parties:</P>
<P>The Buzzards Bay Action Committee, Buzzards Bay National Estuary Program, and

titled "How to Make Low Impact Development Happen in Your Community."</P>
<P>The workshop will be geared to municipal planners, conservation agents,
municipal Phase II stormwater permit coordinators, planning board members,
selectmen and others. Workshop may be limited to 50 persons, but preference will
be given to municipal officials in the Buzzards Bay watershed if space is
limited.</P>
<P>The workshop is being held May 24, 12:00-2:45 in the town of Marion, at the
Marion Music Hall. A flyer on the workshop is attached. The BBAC is providing a
complimentary lunch beginning at 12:00; presentations begin at 12:30. </P>
<P>Also, beginning at 11:20 AM, across the street from the workshop, an optional
tour of the Marion Island Wharf Park Low Impact Development demonstration
project will be given for interested participants.</P>

<P>We are asking everyone to pre-register so that the BBAC can ensure that
adequate meals, refreshments, and information packets are available.</P>
<P>We are especially targeting municipal staff involved with regulating,
designing, managing, and treating stormwater and stormwater treatment systems in
their community. Please post or distribute this information to others you think
may be interested.</P>
