The protection area for the MVSD Meander Creek Reservoir is fan-shaped and encompasses 86.5 square miles. The protection area is subdivided into a corridor and an emergency management zone. The Corridor Management Zone, (CMZ) is the area within 1,000 feet of each bank of Meander Creek Reservoir, starting from the intake and extending to a point approximately 4 miles upstream of the reservoir, a distance of approximately 10 miles from the intake. The corridor management zone also includes tributaries of Meander Creek Reservoir. On tributaries the width of the corridor management zone is 500 feet from each bank. The length of the corridor management zone on a tributary is 10 stream miles from the intake. For example, a tributary four miles in length that enters the reservoir six miles upstream of the intake would be completely within the corridor management zone. A tributary stream entering eight miles from the intake would have only two miles of its stream length within the corridor management zone. - from 2009 report at http://meanderwater.com/Portals/MeanderWater/Documents/MVSD%20DWSPP%20EPA%20Endorsed.pdf
