One major component of this plan was to foster a new, more cooperative approach to restoring and protecting water quality. In Missouri, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service led the Unified Watershed Assessment. These agencies worked cooperatively to establish a Missouri Unified Watershed Assessment Steering Committee . Members of the committee cooperated to identify, assemble and analyze water quality information by 8-digit hydrologic unit. The final report was made available to the public through press releases, mailings and this web page .
Public comment is encouraged.
