must all participate in the watershed management program if it is to be effective. 8.3.3 CONSTRUCTION SITE EROSION CONTROL The emphasis of the management evaluations in this study has been on how to control nonpoint pollution loadings from stabilized urban areas. An important assumption is that future development will comply with appropriate State and local requirements for the control of construction site erosion. In order for this assumption to hold up, an effective inspection and enforcement program in each county will be critical. In allocating local resources for inspection/enforcement activities, it is recommended that each county place its highest priority on monitoring erosion controls for construction sites in Lake Michie and Little River • watersheds. 8.3.4 AGRICULTURAL NONPOINT POLLUTION CONTROLS At the present time and for the next several years, agricultural land. uses will be the principal source of nutrient and pesticide loadings discharged - into Lake Michie and Little River Reservoir. The federal Farm Bill should result in greater implementation of nonpoint pollution management practices -- over the next decade.
