pollution (both point and non-point source) , dredging and waterway
modification, and land use. The COMP recognizes the import of a
healthy resource to a healthy economy, and recommends plans and
programs to address threats to estuarine resources.
The County General Plan includes strong policy in regard to growth
management, and wetlands preservation. In addition, the program
currently in place to address non-point source pollution, coupled
with existing policy regarding water quality and conservation of
resources indicates County consistency (to some degree) , with many
of the CCMP subject areas where subsequent regulation could impact
the County. County comments may address areas in which programs
differ, as well as program implementation, particularly for those
programs which .go above and beyond current County policy. Comments
may include questions as to local agency authority and ability to
work with other (assigned) entities as regards these programs, as
well as funding and other considerations.
