EEP recognizes that other agencies and organizations throughout the state have participated in and/or developed watershed plans within their communities. In an effort to support existing watershed efforts and build upon existing collaborations while meeting the new Compensation Planning Framework requirements, EEP has developed a process through which non-EEP organizations may submit watershed plans for EEP acceptance.
Acceptance of a watershed plan indicates that it meets EEP’s In-Lieu Fee Instrument requirements and therefore can have projects implemented using EEP funds.
Questions related to watershed-plan requirements should be directed to the watershed planner assigned to the region of interest, or by contacting EEP Watershed Planning Supervisor Nancy Daly at 919-715-7452 or nancy.daly@ncdenr.gov.
