Tri-County Water Quality Management Board (WQMB)

The Tri-County Water Quality Management Board (WQMB) was created by the resolution adopting the 208 Final Water Quality Management Plan on March 23, 1978. This resolution states "that the mission of the Tri-County Water Quality Management Policy Board would be to adopt policy for the continuing planning process, establish priorities for the implementation of the adopted 208 program and direct the lead agency's 208 role in the Tri-County area within the regional framework established by DVRPC." It primarily serves to coordinate water supply and wastewater treatment plans for Burlington, Camden, and Gloucester counties and to maintain the Tri-County Water Quality Management Plan.
