The San Dieguito Watershed Management Area (WMA) Responsible Agencies are performing an update of the San Dieguito WMA Water Quality Improvement Plan (WQIP). The update has focused on the upper portions of the watershed, specifically the potential impairment of the municipal and domestic supply beneficial use at Lake Hodges Reservoir due to the presence of excess nutrients for wet and dry weather.
A virtual consultation panel meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, September 23rd, from 10:00 am-12:30 pm and is open for the public to attend. At this meeting, the jurisdictions will review the content of the planned update with the panel members and discuss how comments and recommendations received to-date have been incorporated. There will also be an opportunity for public comment during the meeting.
