Burnt Bridge Creek Informational Public Meeting

We'll explain the background and purpose of the draft Burnt Bridge Creek ARP. We'll also share ways you can help reduce pollution, and we'll answer questions about what this plan means for Burnt Bridge Creek, for you, and for your community.

This online meeting will include a presentation, followed by a question-and-answer session.

Background

The federal Clean Water Act requires states to develop a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) — or water quality improvement project — plan for each water body on the state's polluted waters list, also known as the 303(d) list. This science-based approach assigns a numerical value that represents the highest amount of a pollutant a surface water body can receive and still meet the water quality standards. Learn more about the TMDL process.

In the Burnt Bridge Creek Watershed, we developed an advance restoration plan (ARP) in advance of a TMDL to help speed up implementation of best management practices to improve water quality.
