Project Summary Provided by Grantee:
This
program developed the implementation criteria necessary for local
government action on the Tributary Strategies Plans for the Rappahannock
and York Rivers, and small coastal basins. The implementation criteria
provide policy options for localities in their comprehensive planning,
conservation ordinances, and the management and planning of pollution
controls for local tributary streams.
The Regional Nutrient reduction Strategies Program, Phase II, includes
the following general goals:
1) Identify implementation criteria which local governments can
utilize to incorporate nutrient reduction strategies into existing
land use and pollution prevention programs.
2) Build local government and public support for the implementation
of Tributary Strategies through local practices.
3) Develop a forum for the discussion of river basin wide nutrient
reduction issues, including equity and trading.
4) Identify areas for regional cooperation in implementation of
nutrient reduction strategies.
5) Cooperate with neighboring Planning District Commissions in the
support of the Tributary Strategies Program.
Highlights of the program include the completion of the Middle Peninsula
Nutrient Reduction Strategies Report through a series of Task Force,
MPPDC public meetings, and planner and local administrator meetings;
Geographic analysis of watershed data; and coalition building among
PDCs, SWCDs, and state agencies.
