A segment of the East Fork Eno River from Halls Mill Road to Dry Run was <br />added to the 303d list due to benthos, but a segment of the main stem of the Eno River <br />above Corporation Lake was removed. A small segment of Morgan Creek below <br />confluence with Meeting of the Waters Creek was added to the list due to the degraded <br />quality of the fish community present. <br /> <br />Davis was asked whether OWASA gets involved in protecting drinking water source <br />quality. He said OWASA likely gets involved with managing the algae that grow in its <br />reservoirs as they can impact the taste of drinking water. <br /> <br />Wegman thanked Davis for his presentation. <br /> <br />VII.
