GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: This is a technical meeting to discuss how to provide nutrient reduction credits for non-traditional type water quality improvement projects that benefit the Indian River Lagoon and help meet the nutrient loading reductions required by Total Maximum Daily Loads. The Indian River Lagoon Total Maximum Daily Loads were adopted in March 2009 and require reductions in the loadings of total nitrogen and total phosphorus to the Lagoon sufficient for recovery of deep-water seagrass habitat. Project types that will be discussed at the meeting include the removal of muck deposits, aquatic plant harvesting, and changes in type and operation of water control structures.
