This week, KDOW announced that they are creating a Nutrient Reduction Strategy for the state. Over the next 30 days, they will continue drafting an outline of the strategy. A draft plan will be available in January and formal public comment will take place around April.
KDOW sees this plan as a consolidated document that will document and measure what they are already doing. The plan’s format will follow the infamous “Stoner Memo.” The plan is part of Kentucky’s commitment as a member in the Hypoxia Task Force. A website will soon be set up to update the public on the plan and DOW’s progress. SMG will also provide periodic updates on the Strategy.
