Long Term Plan Project ObjectivesLong Term Plan Project Objectives
The Process Development and Engineering (PDE) t f th L T Pl d
p g g ( )component of the Long-Term Plan recommends activities designed to:
“Maintain and improve upon the contribution of sourceMaintain and improve upon the contribution of source controls to overall water quality improvement goals.”
Specifically:p yIdentify discharges that are candidates for implementation of cost effective source controlsCharacterize management practices on lands or g pprocesses tributary to those discharges
Implement these source controls in concert with landowners or municipalities

SummarySummary
1. On-going mandatory BMP Program implementation (EAA and C 139 Basin)(EAA and C-139 Basin)
2. Adaptive management based on:
BMP d t ti d h• BMP demonstration and research
• Supplementary monitoring initiatives
3. Rule-development as needed to incorporate findings
4. Environmental Resource Permit (ERP) program is being used, when necessary or applicable, to require BMP , y pp , qimplementation (including capital improvement projects, operational changes, public outreach, etc.) and water quality monitoring

Summary (Cont’d)Summary (Cont’d)
5. Developing preliminary evaluation of performance measures in support of future regulatory source control program for in support of future regulatory source control program for Feeder Canal Basin
6. Working cooperatively with landowners, local governments, drainage districts, tribal representatives, stakeholders, and t t d f d l i i k f fstate and federal agencies is key for success of source
control projects7. Many EPA Tributary Basins rely also in full integration with
CERP and/or other local state and federal projects toCERP and/or other local, state and federal projects to achieve water quality goals
8. Continue water quality monitoring is necessary to track the success of the source control projects in the EPA Tributary p j yBasins
District staff are available to discuss these projects in more detail.
