Rogue Basin Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Implementation Program

To meet the requirements of the Rogue Basin 2008 TMDL under the Clean Water Act, the City of Cave Junction is implementing management strategies over a five-year period. Strategies were developed as part of implementation plans that were submitted to and approved by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality. Strategies focus on a variety of different activities that will lead to improved water quality conditions. Activities vary by jurisdiction or entity and include riparian restoration to improve stream shade, water quality monitoring, management of urban runoff, education and outreach, ordinances, on the ground projects and control structures, erosion prevention and sediment control, and staff training.
