- Develop and implement long-term viable management strategies that accurately address water quality and stream resource quality problems identified by the monitoring program.
- Identify point and nonpoint source pollution issues and develop and implement short-term and long-term strategies to address these issues.
- Develop and maintain appropriate computer models of the watersheds to assess attainment of these objectives.
