Straight to the Point ndash Watershed-based Plans Should
bull be designed to restore water quality from nonpoint source impairments using sufficiently analyzed water quality data and watershed characterization
bull utilize a stakeholder process to engage all that are affected by the impairments
What Is EPA Looking For In A Watershed-based Plan
bull Clearly articulates the water quality problem and how to fix it
bull Describes what NEEDS to be done to achieve WQ standards
bull Tracks water quality responses in the stream with implementation in the ldquorightrdquo spot
