Remedial Action Plan Stage 1

The aim of this First Phase of the Remedial Action Plan (RAP) is to develop a management framework for the long term assessment and monitoring of the Porcupine River Watershed. This framework would also detail a program of remediation and restoration through the implementation of specific programs and projects directed at impaired beneficial uses. Impaired beneficial uses are referred to as ecosystem services whose integrity is jeopardized due to changes in the chemical, physical, or biological ecological constituents, which are identified and discussed further in Chapter 3.
