Book Description
The year 1998 marked the 20th anniversary of the final reports of the Commission's Pollution From Land Use Activities Reference Group (PLUARG). PLUARG produced a body of work that remains the cornerstone of current thinking about non-point source pollution in the Great Lakes and elsewhere. Twenty years after PLUARG, the Workgroup on Parties Implementation sought to assess the status of non-point source pollution control in the Great Lakes basin, particularly progress by the Parties under Annexes 3 and 13 of the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement. To that end, the Workgroup sponsored a special session at the Great Lakes soil erosion and sediment control conference, held in Toledo, Ohio, September 16-18, 1998. This report summarizes the findings of that session.

Book Description
In 1997, New York City adopted a mammoth watershed agreement to protect its drinking water and avoid filtration of its large upstate surface water supply. Shortly thereafter, the NRC began an analysis of the agreement's scientific validity. The resulting book finds New York City's watershed agreement to be a good template for proactive watershed management that, if properly implemented, will maintain high water quality. However, it cautions that the agreement is not a guarantee of permanent filtration avoidance because of changing regulations, uncertainties regarding pollution sources, advances in treatment technologies, and natural variations in watershed conditions. The book recommends that New York City place its highest priority on pathogenic microorganisms in the watershed and direct its resources toward improving methods for detecting pathogens, understanding pathogen transport and fate, and demonstrating that best management practices will remove pathogens. Other recommendations, which are broadly applicable to surface water supplies across the country, target buffer zones, stormwater management, water quality monitoring, and effluent trading.

[...] The following are four areas the Commission to the development of the Agreement in the 1970s suggests be considered for the purpose and scope and its amendment in 1987:.

Congress and the Parliament of reports under the Binational Action Plan, Canada, it is of the view that its role should be set out in a formal reference pursuant to Article IX of and (b) the Commission's independent the Boundary Waters Tr.
