Black Dog Watershed Management Organization

Watershed Management Goals
(As stated in the 2001 watershed management plan)

  • Keep regulation at the local level (the BDWMO will not administer a permit program).
  • Assist member cities with intercommunity floodplain and runoff planning and with mediation of water management disputes between communities.
  • Monitor, classify, and manage strategic water resources to meet their intended use. (Strategic waterbodies are those with broad watershed significance.)
  • Monitor/estimate and evaluate stormwater runoff quality.
  • Manage intercommunity stormwater runoff, flooding, and other water quantity issues.
  • Develop policies to be implemented by the cities to protect the BDWMO’s water resources.
  • Assess the performance of the BDWMO and the member cities toward achieving the goals stated in this plan.
  • Provide member cities with information about the BDWMO, its activities, and water resource management.
