What is the Eightmile River Watershed Management Plan?
The plan is a non-regulatory document reflecting a partnership in which local, state and federal interests have come together to establish resource protection standards and identify key actions to promote the long-term preservation of the Eightmile River Watershed. The roles and responsibilities of local land use planning and regulatory commissions do not change as a result of the plan, nor are any federal mandates or new regulatory powers created. The costs to local partners of implementing the plan are generally negligible, and if designation does occur funds are typically provided to support local partners as they put the plan into practice.
