Program managcnwnl <br />. Public participat.ion <br />. Treatment facility analysis and needs <br />. Non-point source analysis and control mea- <br />sures <br />.

Plan selection <br /> <br />Technical Features <br />All treatment works needed t.o maintain <br />acceptable water quality over a 20-year period will <br />be identified. The list will be revised annually t.o <br />reflect the changing environment and dynamics of <br />the region. <br />In addit.ion, the plan will est.ablish priorit.ies for <br />building or modifying treatment plants and time <br />schedules to put the priorities into effect. <br />It will define and recommend means of dealing <br />with non-point sources of pnllutioil that. relale to <br />agriculture, forestry, I1lJ 111 ng and const.ruction <br />activity, as well as urban fUIlOff into surface water <br />suppl ies. <br /> <br />Management Features <br /> <br />The plan also will identify mechanism to <br />coordinate aJl wastewater treatment planning <br />activities. <br />These mechanisms will regulate the locat.ion, <br />modification or construction of facilities. They will <br />insure that industrial wastes are properly pre. <br />
