1 YADKIN-PEE DEE RIVER BASINWIDE WATER QUALITY PLAN March 2003 Prepared by: NC Department of Environment & Natural Resources Division of Water Quality Water Quality Section Planning Branch 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC (919) ext. 354 This document was approved and endorsed by the NC Environmental Management Commission on March 13, 2003 to be used as a guide by the NC Division of Water Quality in carrying out its Water Quality Program duties and responsibilities in the Yadkin-Pee Dee River basin. This plan is the first five-year update to the Yadkin-Pee Dee River Basinwide Water Quality Management Plan approved by the NC Environmental Management Commission in May 1998.
