Tar-Pamlico 2014

2014 Tar-Pamlico Basinwide Water Quality Plan 

The 2014 document is the fifth five-year update of the Tar-Pamlico River Basinwide Water Quality Plan and the first plan that incorporates water quantity issues and model projections. Previous basinwide plans for the Tar-Pamlico River Basin were completed in 1994, 1999, 2004 and 2010.
