Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan
The Monroe County Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan mandated that a sanitary wastewater master plan be prepared to determine acceptable levels of sanitary service and treatment for all developed and undeveloped areas in Monroe County. More specifically, the intent of the Comprehensive Plan is:
1. To establish more stringent nutrient limits so as not to exceed the maximum nutrient loads that can be tolerated by the County’s nutrient-sensitive waters and ecosystems without experiencing short- or long term adverse impacts
2. To prevent further degradation to groundwater, as well as confined, nearshore, and offshore waters
3. To ensure improvement of these waters to levels that have been demonstrated to support healthy, diverse, and productive populations of fish and other marine resources (Objective 901.4)4 .
