Profile:
The Little Miami River Partnership is a non-profit organization that works to coordinate and support efforts to maintain and improve the entire Little Miami River watershed through partnerships, planning, education, and commitment.

Formed in 1996, the Partnership has grown from a few concerned citizens to a diverse membership of community members, government officials, agency representatives, public utilities, and environmental and recreational organizations.

Planning is accomplished through a nine-member elected Board of Directors. In 2000, the Partnership hired a full-time Watershed Coordinator to work throughout the watershed and create a Watershed Restoration Plan.

The following are some of the group's major accomplishments:

- Completed a watershed restoration plan (TMDL) for the Upper Little Miami and Caesar Creek sub-watersheds that has been approved by both Ohio EPA and USEPA.

- Re-activated the Technical Committee that is working on watershed-wide data identification, collection, storage, and availability for water quality and land use data.

- Created a draft Strategic Planning document that the Partnership will use as a guide to reach goals and objectives over the next several years.

- Coordinated our efforts with those of other watershed management efforts including the Upper Little Miami 319 grant project and the East Fork Watershed project.
