  • Evaluate the feasibility, costs, and benefits of implementing the identified management strategies.
  • Develop an accounting system for the assignment of nutrient reduction credits for the identified management strategies.
  • Identify the need for any improvements or refinements to modeling and other analytical tools used to evaluate water quality in nutrient-impaired waters and nutrient management strategies.
Membership

The NSAB consists of up to 10 representatives with various qualifications and diverse backgrounds representing: Local Government / Academia / Professional Engineering / NC Dept of Transportation / Conservation Organizations.  See the NSAB Charter for the current membership roster.
