RMP Program Objectives & Management Questions • Question 3: Describe sources, pathways, loadings, and processes leading to pollutant-related impairment in the Estuary. 3.1 - What sources, pathways, and processes contribute most to impairment? 3.2 - What are the best opportunities for management intervention for the most important pollutant sources, pathways, and processes? 3.3 - Are management actions effective in reducing loads from most important sources, pathways, and processes? * WG specific questions are being developed as part of 5-yr plan
