WATERSHED…Basin or geographic area which water
flows across the land & drains into a common bodies of water.

BASED-PLAN..EPA def’n:
strategy and a work plan for achieving water resource goals, provides assessment and management information for a geographically defined watershed.

WATERSHED-BASED PLAN…
excellent opportunity to educate community members about water quality issues
get them involved in restoration activities.

9 ELEMENTS IN PLANNING…
EPA’s Guidelines:1. IMPAIRMENT
identification of the causes and sources of pollution, that will need to be controlled to achieve the load reductions estimated to fix the impairment, and to achieve any other watershed goals identified in the watershed-based plan.
![Page 10: Watershed-Based Plan](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f19b4c1a28ab3d658b4595/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
9 ELEMENTS IN PLANNING…EPA’s Guidelines:
2. LOAD REDUCTIONAn estimate of the load reductions expected for the management measures described. Modeling can be simple or quite complex depending on the application. Spreadsheets and landcover mapping are typically employed in these models to estimate load reductions.
![Page 11: Watershed-Based Plan](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f19b4c1a28ab3d658b4595/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
9 ELEMENTS IN PLANNING…EPA’s Guidelines:
3. MANAGEMENT MEASURES
A description of the NPS management measures that will need to be implemented to achieve the estimated load reductions. (include a map or
detailed description)
![Page 12: Watershed-Based Plan](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f19b4c1a28ab3d658b4595/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
9 ELEMENTS IN PLANNING…EPA’s Guidelines:
4. TECHNICAL & FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
An estimate of the amounts of technical and financial assistance needed, and/or the
sources and authorities that will be relied on, to implement this plan.

9 ELEMENTS IN PLANNING…EPA’s Guidelines:
5. PUBLIC INFORMATION & EDUCATION An information/education component that will be used to enhance public understanding of the project and encourage their early and continued participation in selecting, designing, and implementing the NPS management measures that will be implemented.

9 ELEMENTS IN PLANNING…
EPA’s Guidelines:6. SCHEDULE An expedited schedule for implementing NPS management measures identified.
![Page 15: Watershed-Based Plan](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f19b4c1a28ab3d658b4595/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
9 ELEMENTS IN PLANNING…EPA’s Guidelines:7. MILESTONES A description of interim, measurable milestones for determining whether NPS management measures or other controls are being implemented.
![Page 16: Watershed-Based Plan](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f19b4c1a28ab3d658b4595/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
9 ELEMENTS IN PLANNING…EPA’s Guidelines:
8. PERFORMANCECriteria to determine whether loading reductions are being achieved over time, and if progress is being made towards attaining water quality standards
and, if not, the criteria to determine if this plan needs to be revised.

9 ELEMENTS IN PLANNING…
EPA’s Guidelines:9. MONITORINGA monitoring component to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation efforts over time.

WHY WBP?Increasing threats to our
resourcesRestoration of a polluted or
otherwise impaired water bodyEnvironmental degradation
and water resource deterioration
