Watershed Task Force
ORGANIZATION
The Watershed Task Force (WTF) is composed of four committees: Municipal, Industrial, Agricultural, and Public Interest. Technical support to the WTF is provided by the various state and federal agencies. See Figure 1 below for an illustration of the organizational structure.
FUNCTIONING
The WTF functions according to the following guidelines:
. Decisions of the WTF are by general agreement; i.e., the group works toward a decision/recommendation that best represents the combined opinion/preference of all WTF members. The groups actions may not be the preferred actions of all members, but they are not considered to be significantly adverse or inappropriate by any member of the WTF.
. No Steering Committee will be formed. This decision can be reconsidered at a later date if determined to be appropriate.
. Committees may meet prior to each meeting of the WTF to discuss the topics being considered for recommendations. A spokesman is appointed by each committee to summarize the factors relevant to the discussion topic that are most significant to their respective committee.
. WTF members may send alternates to participate in WTF meetings. The alternates should have sufficient knowledge of the goals of the project, the technical data developed by the project, and previous discussions of the WTF to be effective participants.
. Additional members may be added to a committee based on the recommendation of the respective committee and approval by the WTF.
