BACKGROUND: At the Board of Commissioners June 26, 1995 meeting, a status report was presented concerning Concept Plans approved in the Stoney Creek basin area.

The attached report identifies the statutory basis for enacting such provisions, the origins of the current standards, and concerns about the application of the standards.
