GMD 5 LEMA web page updated with GMD-KDA correspondence and US FWS response to Audubon

KDA’s web page on GMD 5’s development of a proposal Local Enhancement Management Area (LEMA) to resolve the Quivira impairment has been updated with the following:

  1. Recent correspondence between KDA and GMD 5 regarding LEMA plan development. Most recently, KDA expressed its commitment to continue to work toward a workable solution that addresses impairment without devastating the local economy, stating it will develop some specifics to be provided to the GMD Board and the Basin water users in the coming weeks.
  2. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s response to Audubon of Kansas’ August 17 letter, which called on both the Service and KDA DWR to act immediately to remedy the impairment.
