Area Wide Conservation Planning for EIP/TMDL Implementation

Implement Areawide Conservation Planning in key areas in California and Nevada to facilitate and provide for enhanced delivery of Environmental Improvement Projects (EIP) and implementation of the TMDL within watershed boundaries. Create stakeholder groups in each watershed, develop targets of opportunity in relation to EIP process and provide design and implementation support to the jurisdictions within the watershed. Address inter-related natural resource issues such as soil and water conservation, stormwater runoff, native and invasive species management, fuels reduction through creation of defensible space, water conservation and drinking water protection at a watershed level to enable residents and agencies to collaborate on strategies, solutions, and EIP implementation. This project targets outreach and coordination efforts and the watershed scale, as well as providing technical assistance to developed single-family residential property owners on the design and installation of retrofit BMP's targeting pollutants in stormwater runoff.
