GSWCC will work with landowners to develop nutrient management plans and to install best management practices (BMPs) that will reduce water quality degradation. The Little River Watershed TMDL Implementation Project includes portions of Jasper, Morgan, Newton, Putnam and Walton counties.

A higher cost share is available for buffers greater than 15 feet in average width. Every landowner that contracts with GSWCC is required to have a nutrient management plan. GSWCC will assist landowners in completing these plans.
