This project supports the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) and the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, pursuant to Public Law 113-76. Monroe County will continue to coordinate the implementation of the Rochester Embayment Remedial Action Plan (RAP). Key components of this project include (1) tracking and documenting remedial activities and progress towards delisting by means of update and annual reports and delisting documents; (2) coordinating RAP public participation, especially invigoration of the RAP Oversight Committee to reach consensus on progress towards endpoints for Beneficial Use Impairments, and informing the public on the delisting processes and successes while soliciting feedback on attitude toward the process, (3) coordination and integration of the RAP process with other Lake Groups such as the Lake Ontario Lakewide Action and Management Plan Committee and the International Joint Commission, (4) participation in drafting Beneficial Use Impairment delisting documents, culminating in a completed Stage III RAP except for incorporation of post management action monitoring, with at minimum a designation of the Rochester Embayment as an Area in Recovery and potentially the complete delisting of the Embayment, (5) participation in the review and monitoring of proposed management actions and subsequent monitoring efforts conducted by the agencies responsible for the management action.
