The meeting will focus on the status of current drafts of the Pennsylvania Domestic Action Plan to meet Lake Erie phosphorus reduction targets and timelines for implementation.
The Forum will provide the opportunity for DEP and Sea Grant staff to gather comments and input from meeting attendees.
The Forum will also update participants on multiple monitoring programs including hypoxia and HABs.
The Special Focus topic will be stormwater management and the roles municipalities play in protecting Lake Erie water quality.
