This plan will be carried out in cooperation with local and tribal governments, federal agencies, the public and community- based watershed organizations. Determine which waters need field monitoring to assess their health. Determine and prioritize at risk and polluted waters to show where resources are needed most for protecting or cleaning-up our waters. Develop a coordinated budget to fund projects to improve at risk and polluted waters. Every two years carefully review state water protection programs to determine what is working or not, and make necessary adjustments.
