A watershed restoration planning committee will be formed to guide the watershed restoration planning efforts. The planning committee will include the project partners, representatives of four townships in the watershed, related agency personnel and other stakeholders such as local residents, businesses and farmers.

The planning committee will coordinate at the onset and through the completion of the project with the NJDEP Division of Watershed Management's TMDL Team within the Bureau of Environmental Analysis and Restoration. The committee will meet bimonthly and will play critical roles in the watershed restoration planning process. The methodologies used in this project and the project results will be discussed and reviewed in those bimonthly meetings. The committee will assist in identifying additional partners to participate in the project. This committee will also identify opportunities for implementing the watershed restoration plan.

The South Branch Watershed Association will be responsible for Task 1.
