The Port Orford Ocean Resource Team and the City of Port Orford have teamed up in an innovative partnership to amend the City's Stormwater Ordinance and to conduct outreach for the proposed amendments. To conduct more efficient and effective outreach, POORT attempted to bring the outreach to pre-existing groups.
