The TMDL process... what happens next? The practical experience of implementing TMDL plans in the Suwannee Basin by the SGRDC

After the TMDL Implementation Plans were completed for the Suwannee Basin, the next step was to begin implementing programs stated in the plans. Since the December 2002 deadline, the SGRDC has assisted with the implementation of environmental ordinances, education outreach program, workshops, and grant writing assistance. Today, there are a number of activities and programs flourishing in South Georgia that may not have occurred if the State of Georgia had not been sued and the TMDL Implementation Plans were not required to be completed.Sponsored by: Georgia Environmental Protection Division U.S. Geological Survey, Georgia Water Science Center U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service Georgia Institute of Technology, Georgia Water Resources Institute The University of Georgia, Water Resources Facult
