1/11 Advisory Committee Follow-Up

Approximately 26 people attended the January 11th advisory committee meeting.  Thanks to all those who attended! 

The main purpose of the meeting was to compile a list of potential management alternatives for evaluation and prioritization.  The draft meeting minutes are now available for download here.  Two handouts were provided at the meeting.  The first was a synthesis of water resources issues facing the Marsh and Rock creek watersheds.  The second was a draft list of management actions that may be appropriate for addressing the water resources issues.  Comments on any/all of these documents are welcome.

In order to include all proposed management alternatives in the evaluation and prioritization process, please submit additional ideas by February 10th via email (marshrockpa@gmail.com), phone (301.274.8116), or mail (ICPRB, 51 Monroe St. PE-08, Rockville, MD 20850).

The next meeting of the Critical Area Advisory Committee will be February 15th from 9am-3pm at the Ag Center in Gettysburg.  Hope to see you there!

New and Revised Technical Reports

Two new technical reports are available for review and comment.  One focuses on stormwater and floodplain management while the other assesses the water quality conditions in the Marsh and Rock creek watersheds.

Also, two previously released technical reports have been revised based on comments from the advisory committee.  The revised version of the current water uses technical report can be downloaded here.  The revised version of the water availability and future water uses technical report is also available.

As always, feedback on the technical reports is most welcome.
