The program provides a direct source for an open dialogue with residents and other operators to approach activities collaboratively in a way that is safe and with minimal impacts to the community.

Q: Who’s involved?

Q: What are the membership requirements?

A: Each member is required to sign a Promise Document that outlines the expectations set forth by Community Counts of one’s commitment to continually minimize the impacts of operations and to be a good partner to both the community and other operators in the area.
