Why is the 2008 Nippersink Creek Watershed Plan already being updated?
Due to the size of the Nippersink Creek watershed, it was recognized that not all of the potentially eligible BMP sites could be identified in the planning process, and that it would take additional outreach to identify new potential BMP projects. As a result, the Nippersink Watershed Association (NWA), which is responsible for implementing the watershed plan, is inviting Nippersink Creek landowners who may have an existing issue in their streamside areas, or on drainageways leading into the creek, to contact us. If a water quality or land use issue exists that can be addressed by an appropriate BMP, then that project can be included in this NCWBP update, and become eligible for the 60% cost-share in future funding cycles.
