Nonpoint Source Pollution and Watersheds Work Group
Purpose
It is the mission of this Work Group to assist the Long Island Sound Study (LISS) Management Conference in effectively meeting the nonpoint source mitigation goals outlined in the LISS CCMP and the 2003 LIS Agreement. The work group will focus on activities that: 1) have the potential to mitigate NPS pollution and support watershed management; 2) have a watershed-wide basis for analysis; 3) will be useful to local decision-makers; and 4) can expand upon the capacity of existing programs.
