Development and 4:30–6 p.m.: Upper Mokelumne River Watershed Council at the

The joint agencies have
decided to have this workshop because of the many land uses and activities in
the Upper Mokelumne watershed that could affect the health of the watershed now
and in the future. Identifying
these factors, how they affect the watershed water quality, and what steps can
be taken to help reduce or avoid such impacts are key tasks of the Upper
Mokelumne River Watershed Assessment and Planning Project. In this joint
workshop, residents of Alpine, Amador, and Calaveras counties near the Upper
Mokelumne River will hear a presentation on watershed water quality management
recommendations, learn more about the efforts of the sponsoring organizations,
and have the opportunity to ask questions and give feedback. For questions call
