Abstract:
The newly enacted Clean Water Responsibility and Environmentally Sound Policy Act (H.B. 515) includes a section concerning the role of stakeholders in the approval of water quality models. This requires that nutrient limits be substantiated by the application of a calibrated water quality model developed with participation of stakeholders. The new role for stakeholders is consistent with the recent increased public involvement in environmental assessment and decision-making.
