A watershed moment may be in store for a group working with state environmental officials on a water quality plan for Lake Lanier. The Lake Lanier Stakeholders, largely made of public utility officials from governments around the reservoir, has been meeting with Environmental Protection Division officials about what will be an eventual “total maximum daily load,” or maximum amount of a pollutant that water can receive and meet quality standards. Discussion has covered such topics as environmental impacts and the potential for stricter permits for utilities.
