DEP Hosts 8th Round Of State Water Plan Regional Committee Meetings Starting Jan. 11

The Department of Environmental Protection will host an eighth round of public meetings of Regional Water Resources to help get input into the 2022 State Water Plan Update.  Read more here.

Another goal of the Plan update is to review and finalize Critical Area Resource Plans in the Potomac and Ohio regions that were left unfinished during the 2009 update.
