Watersheds Management Plans

Watersheds Water Quality Management Plans are prepared in Year 5 of the watersheds management cycle

These watersheds plans include a general watersheds description, water quality assessment summary results, inventory of point and nonpoint sources, water quality concerns voiced by citizens at public meetings, federal, state, and local initiatives, and management strategies.

A public meeting
is held to discuss the draft plans with local citizens, elected officials, and the regulated community.
