POLICY OF ACCESSIBILITY

POLICY OF ACCESSIBILITY The Pearl River Basin Development District wishes to publicize its policy concerning accessibility of its facilities for employees and others. (a) It is the policy of the Pearl River Basin Development District that its facilities will be as accessible as possible for all persons. The District recognizes that there are certain facilities that due to their setting in natural areas may not be able to be made accessible without destroying the essential functions of these areas. These include nature trails, certain water related facilities and other operations. (b) It is the policy of the District that work areas will be as accessible as possible, given the above restrictions. (c) It is the policy of the District to maintain its facilities and equipment in operable working condition, especially those as required for ready accessibility and use by persons with disabilities. Any routine maintenance or repairs or replacement will be carried out as quickly as possible. (d) Written materials of the District will attempt to include materials on usage by persons regardless to race, sex, age or disability, and publications will attempt to make known the District’s policy of accessibility and nondiscrimination. (e) The District will attempt to make sure that functions it sponsors are as accessible to all persons as possible. Again, they will be held in places that are as accessible as possible given the natural conditions that surround many of the District’s properties. (f) It is also our policy that any customer or visitor to one of our facilities who feels aggrieved that the facilities are not properly accessible, may file a complaint with our ADA representative, whose mailing address and telephone number are P.O. Box 5332, Jackson, Mississippi 39296-5332, (601) 354-6301. Assuming the ADA coordinator is unable to resolve the issue, please contact the Executive Director of the District at (601) 354-6301.
