208 Water Quality Management Plan
The 208 Water Quality Management Plan was approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on October 31, 2007.
The Truckee Meadows has had a water quality plan in place since 1978 to ensure safe water for our region. The plan is mandated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection. In 1992, the Governor of the State of Nevada designated the Regional Planning Governing Board (RPGB) as the local governing body responsible for developing and amending the 208 Plan. It is necessary to update the plan periodically to take into consideration recent and anticipated growth in the region. Section 208 of the Clean Water Act discusses water quality relative to ground water, waste water, storm water, treatment standards and facilities.
