12. How’s the stream biota? How do we develop marine water TMDLs? How’s the coral? What’s in the groundwater flux? What’s the plan? Who cares? Where can pollutant load reductions be achieved, and how? Did sediment control BMPs reduce turbidity in agricultural drainageways? How well do riparian fencing and vegetative buffers work to reduce pollutant loading? What are the pollutant sources? How much of the loading capacity does each source get? What are TSS loads from the upper watershed? What causes them? What’s the best way to remove hau bush to support native revegetation? What are the pollutant loading capacities there? Which cesspools to upgrade, and how? What are the pollutant concentrations in the lower watershed? What are the enterococcus levels in the watershed? Turbidity? Fish? Organics? Where are standards not attained? Where are the problems? Who’s in charge? What’s going on? TMDL 2004-2007 Watershed Initiative 2003-2006 Heritage River 1988
