Watershed Masterplans• Scientific
• Monitoring changes in Floodplain/RiskMAP work• Water quality modeling to identify target areas• Monitoring implication of growth on Native Mussels
• Policy• Identifying potential need to change ordinances• Balance growth with environmental protection
• Multi-benefit Projects• Utilizing natural resources for economic benefit

Implementation Plan (I-Plan) A TMDL and an I-Plan are needed
when a waterbody is impaired Upper & Lower SAR I-Plans outline: What to do over the next one to five years Who will do it When it will be done How we will gauge improvement
