The meeting will be held on January 10, 2024 from 3:00 – 4:30 pm at the Nelson Memorial Library (8521 Thomas Nelson Hwy, Lovingston, VA). In the event of inclement weather, the meeting will be held the following day (January 11th) at the same time and location.
This meeting is to provide an overview of our follow up monitoring results, and discuss the process we used to establish phosphorus reduction targets for Black Creek. Also, to discuss alternatives to TMDL development at the meeting, and more specifically, the option to develop a watershed plan for Hat and Black Creeks. This plan would include all of the work that we have done in support of the study, but would take things a step further and include a plan to meet pollutant reduction targets with on the ground implementation actions.
