Grazing Lands Management Plan

 

The Grazing Lands Management Plan for the Monterey County Water Resources Agency (MCWRA) land within the Nacimiento and San Antonio River Watersheds (Nacitone). The MCWRA operates the Nacimiento and San Antonio Reservoirs for flood control, ground water recharge and to control saltwater intrusion near Monterey Bay.

 

The plan is a part of a comprehensive Integrated Watershed Management Plan (IWMP) being drafted for the Nacimiento River Watershed and the San Antonio River Watershed. The IWMP is a community wide planning effort, funded by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) and managed by MCWRA. The plan provides guidance for the MCWRA to incorporate Best Management Practices (BMP’s) in order to comply with the goals of the Clean Water Act (1972) by reducing nonpoint pollution entering the water bodies within the Nacimiento and San Antonio watersheds.
