A brainstorm list of management recommendations is currently being developed. So now's the time to put your thinking caps on! Please submit your ideas for what you or your organization could do to reduce water use, enhance water availability, or otherwise more proactively manage the water resources. Also, what are practical ways that the Marsh and Rock creek community as a whole could more proactively manage the water resources? All ideas are welcome! Please submit recommendations either during or before the January 11th meeting, email
marshrockpa@gmail.com; call 301.274.8116; or mail to ICPRB at 51 Monroe St., Suite PE-08, Rockville, MD, 20850. The meeting will be held from 1-3pm on January 11 at the Ag Center in Gettysburg.
