Presentation Summaries:
Re-Visiting the 2018 Missouri Lake Nutrient Criteria
Presenter: Mike Hogan
Description: Developing and implementing statewide lake nutrient criteria took over two decades. These criteria have been described in various ways: controversial, innovative, and a model for others. Learn more about these criteria and their impact on NPDES permits, 303(d) listings, and TMDLs since their adoption.
A View from the Field: 404 Permitting and AJDs under the Amended 2023 Rule
Presenter: Cody Luebbering
Description: Join a panel of 404 permitting practitioners as they provide an insightful update on recent changes and current practices in the post-Sackett landscape. Key topics include WOTUS, the relatively permanent standard, continuous surface connection, USEPA/USACE coordination, new required consultations, additional resources, and more.
What are General or Narrative Water Quality Criteria?
Presenter: Cody Luebbering
Description: These criteria are defined in Missouri Water Quality Standards, referenced in NPDES permits fact sheet, and included in the 303(d) Listing Methodology Document. They are even a component of the numeric lake nutrient criteria. Yet they are not numeric. Learn more about the general or narrative water quality criteria that now being more commonly assessed; be prepared for this not-so-well-understood and subjective criteria.
