Adams County Marsh/Rock Creek Water Resources Management Plan Meeting Sept. 21
|
|
The Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin and the Department of Environmental Protection will hold a kick-off meeting for the pilot Water Resources Management Plan for Marsh and Rock Creek watersheds in Adams County on September 21.
The meeting will be held at the Adams County Agricultural Center in Gettysburg starting at 7:00 p.m.
Local input from the watershed's many stakeholders (local government, water suppliers, agricultural users, citizens watershed groups, anglers) working together will best direct future water policy in this watershed.
As one of the first of its kind in this Commonwealth, the assessment will examine the challenges to clean, sustainable water supplies in the watershed, assess the amounts that can be safely used, and find ways to deliver a sustainable water supply while maintaining water quality and other community values. Additionally, a successful process in this watershed can be used as a template in other areas of this Commonwealth.
The purpose of this meeting is to: introduce the project to prospective advisory committee members and the general public; identify participants' concerns on issues facing the watersheds; discuss ways for developing recommendations as an outcome of this project; and nominate project advisory committee members for consideration by the Potomac Regional Committee.
DEP said more information on this meeting will be published on its Public Participation Center webpage. (formal notice)
