Turbidity TMDL Information

 

The forth technical committee meeting was held on Wednesday, April 20th.  Revisions are being made to the draft TMDL report based on feedback received in our technical committee meetings and those revisions will be reviewed by the committee and a draft version will be posted here.  No further technical committee meetings are scheduled, but may be held if the need arises.

 

The third technical committee meeting was held on Wednesday, March 16th.  The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, April 20th.  Once a rough draft has been fully developed through the technical committee process - we will post a PDF copy on this page for public review.

 

The second technical committee meeting was held Wednesday, February 16th.  This meeting allowed us to form a Technical Committee to deal with technical issues related to the development of the Turbidity TMDLs for the Redwood and Cottonwood Rivers.

    Please note that the technical committee is now determined and is not open to walk-ins.  Members of the general public who would like to participate in the development of these TMDLs should plan to attend future TMDL public stakeholder meetings.  You may also contact members of the technical committee if you would like to contribute technical information to the TMDL development.  HERE is a PDF listing of Technical Committee Members.
