The Nexus between ISWPP and NPS: Create WMP Stakeholder Group ISWPP NPS Community Stakeholders work together to scope work for the development of a coordinated Watershed Management Plan and procure necessary funding.
3 Goals of Nevada’s NPS State Management Plan Goal #1 Reduce NPS Pollution in Impaired Waters Goal #2 Watershed Stewardship Education Goal #3 Interagency Coordination for NPS Implementation The Truckee River is a Priority Watershed called out in the NPS State Management Plan
Benefits of coordinating with the NDEP Watershed Planning Process? 200 K 800 K
EPA’s watershed implementation plans based on “9 Elements” 1. Identify causes and sources 2. Estimate of load reductions expected from management measures 3. Describe management measures needed 4. Estimate costs needed to implement the plan 5. Public education component 6. Schedule of implementation 7. Measurable milestones 8. Criteria to determine if load reductions being met 9. Monitoring component to assess effectiveness of plan
