Missouri Host Meeting on Kansas-City Area Rivers, TMDLs


The Missouri Department of Natural Resources will hold a public meeting Monday, Oct. 29, to discuss draft plans to improve water quality in Blue River and Indian Creek in Jackson County. 

The plans are part of a total maximum daily load (TMDL) study, which describes pollutant reductions needed to improve water quality in four segments of Blue River extending from the Kansas state line to its confluence with the Missouri River, and Indian Creek from the Kansas state line to its confluence with Blue River. Both waterways are on the state’s list of impaired waters.

The meeting will be from 6 to 8 p.m. at the department’s Kansas City Regional Office, 500 NE Colbern Road, Lee’s Summit, MO.

Links to the studies and supporting documents are available online at www.dnr.mo.gov/env/wpp/tmdl.
