The conditional management plan originally written in 2017 was revised this year but continues to support seasonal closures in portions of the North River and its tributaries in Growing Area # 042. The Conditionally Approved (Seasonally Condemned) areas will continue to be labeled in these shellfish closure documents as Sections S22 – S24, S161 and S204. The conditionally classified areas will remain in closed status from April 1 through October 31 corresponding to the warmer months when bacteria concentrations more frequently exceed the NSSP standard.
