What types of projects are eligible for WRAPS funding?
Proposals for WRAPS funding can be submitted in four categories to suit the four phases of a WRAPS process:
- Development: Stakeholder recruitment, determine interest, document stakeholder decisions.
- Assessment: Review watershed conditions, trends, develop expectations of the watershed and management measures in use, identify restoration and protection needs, creating a watershed model.
- Planning: Establish goals, identify actions that may achieve goals, develop cost estimates, select strategy, and identify stakeholder implementation strategies.
- Implementation: Secure resources needed to execute plan, monitor and document progress, revise plan as needed. Program guidance is developed by the WRAPS Work Group for projects funded within these categories.
