Description
Summary:[...]forest management activities contribute relatively small quantities of water pollutants compared with those for other land uses (Binkley et al. 2004). Refinement of performance measures used to assess BMP effectiveness will make it necessary to continually evaluate performance and, when necessary, revise prescriptions to ensure effective protection of water resources. [...]state and federal agencies, universities, forest landowners, wood procurement organizations, and forest certification entities will need to continue effective and unique partnerships to promote continued effectiveness testing research.
