Mission Statement

The Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC)
and the Water Resources Agency (IPA-WRA), a unit of the University of Delaware’s
Institute for Public Administration
, will be working together to form and facilitate a
Tributary Action Team (Team) for the Christina River Watershed. This Team will
recommend a Pollution Control Strategy (PCS) to DNREC in order to meet the Total
Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) which were adopted by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency on April 8, 2005. This Pollution Control Strategy will include ways in
which the nonpoint source nutrient and bacteria loadings can be reduced throughout the
watershed. In order to draft this PCS, Team members will engage the public in a dialog
about the concerns related to nonpoint source pollution control. Thus, residents of the
watershed will assist in formulating the PCS.
