DWR is beginning Nutrient Strategy rulemaking for the High Rock Lake watershed with the intention of reducing eutrophication in the reservoir and limiting blooms of toxin-producing algal species.  This will be achieved through a combination of point and nonpoint source nutrient load reductions from the area draining to the lake above the reservoir dam and into the upper reaches of Yadkin River headwaters.  Major nutrient sources such as wastewater facilities, agricultural operations, construction sites, developed areas, and sensitive eco regions will be regulated to improve stream and reservoir health in the future.  DWR is currently reaching out to stakeholders to familiarize them with the rulemaking process and encourage them to provide input as we develop and refine the nutrient strategy.
