Update on Jordan Lake Nutrient Management Strategy <br />September 17, 2004 <br />Page 5 of 5 <br />As further progress is made on the Upper New Hope Arm nutrient TMDL and on a <br />proposed watershed-wide nutrient management strategy, staff will work with managers of <br />other paint source facilities to evaluate the merits of a group compliance partnership for <br />achieving the anticipated point source requirements for the Upper New Hope Arm. Staff <br />will keep the Board informed of any meaningful progress on those discussions. <br />OWASA's participaticn in such a compliance partnership would be subject to approval <br />by the Board of Directors. <br />Next Steps <br />DWQ is scheduled to present a recommended Jordan Lake nutrient management and <br />TMDL strategy to the EMC before the end of 2004, and will hold public hearings during <br />the spring or summer of 2005. The final strategy and TMDL will include a schedule for <br />achieving the point and nonpoint source reduction goals from a variety of sources. <br />Staff will update the Board periodically as further information and proposals are available <br />regarding this regulatory process. <br />Edward A.
