The Nutrient Criteria Development Advisory Work Group (NCDAWG)
provides guidance on options available for developing nutrient
criteria, strategies for developing criteria, types of criteria,
categorization of water bodies, and additional data to collect.
The NCDAWG has become part of
the
Surface Water Quality Standards Advisory Work Group
temporarily. Please check that site for recent meeting
information.
