DEQ, Tribe Unveil Lake CDA Draft Plan

Item: Plan aims to keep metals at the bottom of Lake Coeur d'Alene/Becky Kramer, SR

More Info: On Tuesday, the DEQ and the Coeur d’Alene Tribe unveiled a draft plan for protecting the lake’s water quality. The plan is a long-term effort that will require support from local governments, developers and residents, officials said. “It’s a forever plan,” said Phil Cernera, the tribe’s lake management director. “We’ll need it as long as the lake is here, as long as people are here and as long as the metals are here.”

Question: What more could local governments do to keep Lake Coeur d'Alene pollution in check?
