Watershed Community Forums

On October 29th, 2007, the BRCA Lake Trust hosted a Watershed Forum designed to bring lake association members, state regulators, municipal officials, code enforcement officers, and planning board members together to discuss issues affecting the water quality in the Belgrade Lakes. The focus was on understanding the makeup of the watershed, the severity of the water quality problems, the tools available to municipal officials involved with land use decisions, and finding ways to do things better. The following presentations provided background for the discussions:
