Foreword
There is a growing consensus among those involved in managing our nation's water
resources that the pollution and habitat degradation problems now facing us can best
be solved by following a basin-wide or watershed approach. A watershed approach
provides a means to integrate governmental programs and improve decision-making by
both government and private parties. A watershed approach also enables a broader
view of water resources that reflects the true inter-relationship of surface water,
groundwater, chemical quality, nonchemical stressors, water quantity, and land
management. It is becoming increasingly apparent that these components need to be
considered together and that decision-making related to these components (e.g.,
waste water discharge permits, flood control programs, drinking water supply, fish and
game management, and land management) needs to be integrated.
Consistent with this realization, there has been considerable movement toward an
integrated watershed approach in recent years. Departments and agencies of the
federal government have recognized the need to work together and with state and
local organizations within targeted high-priority watersheds. The Environmental
Protection Agency is. working to change its programs to better support integrated
watershed management, as are other federal departments and agencies. The purpose
of this directory is to help those involved in watershed management to identify federal
programs that may have a potential role in watershed management. It is intended to
provide a starting point for further discussion on collaboration.

Introduction
This catalog is a directory of federal programs that contribute to and participate in
watershed management. Watershed management is generally led on a local or state
level, although there are cases of federal agency lead.
The catalog will help lead agencies and others involved in watershed management to
fully utilize and integrate appropriate federal program resources into holistic, . ,
ecosystem-based efforts to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological
integrity of the watershed's water resources.
These programs are located in six federal departments or agencies. A matrix of U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) programs that may be integrated into
watershed projects, as lead or support, are included as an appendix. The matrix was
developed by EPA's Office of Wetlands, Oceans and Watersheds.
Federal, state, and local agencies have become increasingly aware that water pollution
and habitat problems can best be addressed by following a watershed approach
focusing on hydrologically defined drainage systems. This approach considers the
inputs from all land management and uses within the watershed. Physical
characteristics, habitat quality, and biodiversity, as well as traditional chemical water
quality, are considered when examining alternatives for water quality managing in the
watershed. As a result, federal agencies are refocusing their existing water
management programs to operate on a more comprehensive, holistic, integrated,
ecosystem basis.
This directory presents some of the more prominent federal programs that can provide
assistance to stakeholders in watershed protection and restoration projects. In this
directory, federal programs have been divided into two types: (1) comprehensive
programs that can provide support for the project lead agency in coordinating the
efforts of other agencies and that provide both financial and technical assistance and
(2) support programs that provide special-purpose technical assistance or advisory
services that may prove useful for stakeholders as they develop and carry out their
management efforts. In a few cases, programs that provide only technical assistance
have been listed as comprehensive programs because of the considerable level of
assistance provided. These cases are noted as such.
The coordinated efforts of comprehensive programs can be witnessed in the
Environmental Protection Agency's National Estuary Program, which protects estuaries
and their surrounding resources; the Department of Agriculture's Small Watershed
(PL-566) Program, which assists in protecting, developing, and utilizing land and water
resources in small watersheds; and the Army Corps of Engineers' Civil Works
programs, which each year fund large-scale water resources projects through
congressional authorization. These programs provide the lead in coordinating agencies

to solve water quality problems in watersheds. For example, in the Upper St. Johns
River Project in Florida, the Corps of Engineers is sharing costs with the St. Johns
River Water Management District and the State of Florida to restore drained
marshlands, plug canals, and build reservoirs to store and reuse agricultural runoff.
This project represents a major water quality/ecological restoration effort.
On the other hand, support programs provide watershed projects with technical
assistance, which may include planning, monitoring, or data collection. For example,
the Geological Survey's National Water-Quality Networks Program operates four
networks of sampling sites for monitoring water quality, including a comprehensive list
of physical and chemical characteristics of river reaches across the country. The
Department of Agriculture's Great Plains Conservation Program provides assistance to
farmers and ranchers in planning and implementing conservation practices in the Great
Plains region.
This directory provides an overview of both comprehensive and support programs,
giving detailed information on the comprehensive programs and concise descriptions of
the support programs. A contact has been provided for each entry so that the reader
can seek further information on programs.

The program was created to preserve certain rivers with
outstanding natural, cultural, or recreational features in a free-
flowing condition for the enjoyment of present and future
generations. The National Wild and Scenic Rivers System
contains 75 rivers, 7,709 miles of waterways.
The State and Local River Conservation Assistance Proqram,
administered under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, assists local,
state, and federal government agencies and private groups in the
preparation of river conservation plans. All projects involve
cooperation between all levels of government and the private
sector. The Nationwide Rivers Inventory, part of the Wild and
Scenic Rivers Program, is a register of over 1 ,500 nationally
recognized river segments. These areas must be recognized and
evaluated as potential protected rivers by all federal agencies as
they plan for the use and development of water and related land
resources. Federal agencies must take care to avoid or mitigate
adverse effects on rivers identified in this inventory.
Protection through designation and technical assistance.
River must be recognized as a "Wild and Scenic" river.
Local, state, and federal government agencies and private
groups.
A watershed protection strategy was developed for the Great
Egg Harbor in Camden, New Jersey, through a series of public
workshops and a survey of all private landowners. The strategy
relies on local land use ordinances, existing state and federal
laws and programs, and voluntary private actions to protect
riparian lands.

Authority has been through annual appropriations since 1895.
The 1 993 appropriations bill was HR 5503.
The program is a unique partnership for water-resources
investigations between the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and
state and local agencies. Although state and local cooperating
agencies provide at least one-half of the funds, USGS does most
of the work. The program is the foundation for much of the
planning, development, and management of the Nation's water
resources. It serves as an early warning for emerging water
problems. The program is active in more than 50 states, and
joint funding agreements exist with more than 1 ,000 state and
local entities. Each of the Water Resources Division's district
offices collects hydrologic data and conducts interpretive areal
water-resources appraisals.
Technical assistance program in which half the money is
provided by state and local governments for projects of joint
interest.
Program funds for FY91 $152,000,000; FY92 est
$147,000,000; FY93 est $146,000,000.
State, regional, and local government agencies are eligible.
These agencies must contribute at least half of the funds. The
proposed work must be within the mission of the Water
Resources Division of the USGS. The division's mission is to
provide hydrologic information and the understanding needed for
the best use and management of the Nation's water resources
for the benefit of the people of the United States.

National Water Quality Assessment Program (NAWQA)
Not applicable
Geological Survey
In 1991, following a 5-year pilot effort, Congress appropriated
funds to the U.S. Geological Survey to begin a multiyear
transition to a fully operational program.
The goals of the program are to (1) describe the status and
trends in the quality of a large representative part of the Nation's
groundwater and surface water resources and (2) develop an
understanding of the natural and human factors affecting the
quality of these resources. This information, obtained on a
continuing basis, will provide sound, nationally consistent water-
quality information on which water resources decision making at
all levels of government can be based. Investigations of surface
water and groundwater resources of major regional hydrologic
systems will be conducted on a rotating basis for 60 key areas
located throughout the Nation. The NAWQA program will
address a wide range of major water-quality issues; in the early
years of the program, issues related to pesticides will be a major
focus.
Provides water resources information.
Work must be consistent with the mission of the Water
Resources Division of USGS. Study unit liaison committees
convene every 6 months to discuss the water quality issues of
concern for that area; Members of the committee are
representatives of federal, state, and local agencies and the
general public. While the committee's views are taken into
consideration, the ultimate decision regarding what work should
be done is made by USGS.
Information gathered will be available to anyone interested via
publications and data.

Authority is through an annual appropriations bill.
Water-data stations at selected locations throughout the United
States are used by USGS to obtain records on stream flow and
height, reservoir and lake stage and storage, grpundwater levels,
well and spring discharge, and the quality of surface water and
groundwater. These data provide a continuing record of the
quantity and quality of the Nation's surface water and ground-
water resources. This information is intended to provide the
hydrologic information needed by federal, state, and local
agencies and the private sector for the development and
management of water resources. Data collected are stored in
WATSTORE. (Refer to the National Water Information System
(NWIS) for more on this database.)
The National Water-Quality Networks Proaram. part of the Water
Data Program, consists of four networks for monitoring water
quality. The largest of these networks, which consists of more
than 400 sampling sites, is the National Stream Quality
Accounting Network (NASQAN). Samples from NASQAN sites,
which are located at or near the downstream end of hydrologic
accounting units or at representative sites along coastal areas
and the Great Lakes, are used to measure a comprehensive list of
physical and chemical characteristics on a quarterly or bimonthly
schedule to fulfill information needs of national and regional
water resources planners and managers. Other networks monitor
radiochemical substances, tritium concentrations, and "natural"
stream flow and water quality of small unaffected river basins
(the Radiochemical Surveillance Network, the Tritium Network,
and the Hydrological Bench Mark Network, respectively).

Objectives
To provide help to communities with a variety of water resource
problems and opportunities including flood control, coastal and
shoreline erosion, outdoor recreation, environmental restoration,
and water quality control. Projects must include not only
facilities to mitigate unavoidable environmental damages, but
also consideration of environmental restoration through
opportunities created by projects. Such opportunities include
species management under the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act
of 1958, protection of habitat for endangered species under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, preservation of archeological
resources and historic sites under the National Historic
Preservation Act of 1966, and opportunities provided by other
federal laws. In addition, section 1135 of the 1986 Flood
Control Act also authorizes restoration in a watershed if the area
is one in which a Corps of Engineers project has directly
contributed to the problem (e.g., near a Corps dam).
Environmental restoration may be approved for up to a
75 federal/25 state-local cost share. Cost-sharing percentages
vary by the type of output being provided.
Types of Assistance/
Available Funds

Civil Works Projects — continued
There are six steps that lead to a Civil Works project:
(1) Problem perception,
(2) Request for federal action,
(3) Reconnaissance study and report preparation,
(4) Report review and approval,
(5) Congressional authorization, and
(6) Project implementation.
Requests can be made through Corps District and/or Division
offices. Project costs are shared with the federal government.
During the project, the local sponsors enter into two agreements
with the Corps of Engineers: (1) the feasibility cost sharing
agreement (FCSA) for the feasibility study and (2) the local
cooperation agreement (LCA) for the project's design, real estate,
construction, operation, and maintenance.
State and local agencies.
The Water Resources Development Act of 1986 ensured the
"coordinated development and enhancement of the Upper
Mississippi River system." The Act authorized the Secretary of
the Army to provide technical assistance to local units of
government, to enter into cooperative agreements with the Upper
Mississippi River Basin Association (Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota,
Missouri, and Wisconsin), and to enter into an interagency
agreement with the Secretary of the Interior to ensure the
coordinated planning and implementation of programs for the
use, protection, growth, and development of the Upper
Mississippi River System. The act appropriated funds from the
federal budget to the Corps of Engineers and allowed the transfer
of a portion of these funds to the Fish and Wildlife Service and/or
other cooperating agencies within the Department of the Interior.
A more typical project is the water quality/ecological restoration
effort at the Upper St. Johns River in Florida, where the Corps of
Engineers is sharing costs with the St. Johns River Water
Management District and the State of Florida.

General Program
Objectives
To promote the use, conservation, and development of the
natural resources of the Tennessee Valley region; to analyze and
report findings relating to environmental quality, water quality
management, forestry, recreation development, and fish and
wildlife development for the social, economic, and environmental
benefits of the region and in the national interest.
Although funding is not directly available through this program, in
cases such as the Bear Creek Floatway in northwest Alabama,
TVA was given Congressional funding in 1986 to study and
correct the causes of pollution in the watershed. Bacterial
contamination caused by agricultural operations was found to be
the dominant source of pollution. By working with the
Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service and the Soil
Conservation Service of USDA, TVA was able to abate the
nonpoint source problems.
By working with TVA to solve water quality problems, citizens
may find further assistance available through TVA's cooperation
with USDA.
Types of Assistance/
Available Funds
Advisory services and counseling, dissemination of technical
information.
Assistance is available to officials and agencies of state, county,
and municipal governments within the Tennessee Valley region;
quasi-public agencies; and private organizations, individuals, and
business firms and associations for the development and
conservation of natural resources including rivers, water
resources, fisheries, forests, wildlife, recreation areas, and
natural areas. Environmental education and mapping and
analysis services are available as well. Formula and matching
requirements are preferred.

TVA sponsors cooperative watershed projects for nonpoint
source pollution. Although there is no funding available, TVA
works with USDA on priority watersheds by providing technical
assistance through nonpoint source pollution inventories and
aerial photographs. In a few instances where TVA discovers
major water quality problems through monitoring, TVA goes to
USDA and/or EPA for further funding.

Appendix
Watershed Protection Approach Funding Matrix
The Watershed Protection Approach Funding Matrix is intended to assist project
managers by providing a broad perspective on EPA's Office of Water funds that
potentially could be applied to watershed activities. It also delineates the specific
applications of those funds. It is important to note that this information may become
outdated as the result of changes in budget levels and/or priorities.
The attached matrix was developed by EPA's Office of Wetlands, Oceans and
Watersheds (OWOW), but it relies heavily on a table developed by EPA Region 1 that
describes funding resources for state water programs. OWOW would like to thank
Region 1's Bill Nuzzo, as well as the people in Headquarters and the Regions who have
reviewed the various drafts of this material.
[For further information on EPA programs contact John Ettinger, Program Analyst,
Office of Wetlands, Oceans and Watersheds, U.S. EPA (WH-556F), 401 M Street,
Washington, DC 20460, telephone (202) 260-9113.]
