NRWC Awarded Funding
NRWC has been awarded funding from the Community Foundation of Eastern Connecticut to update the Niantic River Watershed Protection Plan. This funding is derived from the inaugural Peter Grayson Letz Fund for the Environment. The Niantic River Watershed Protection Plan, which turns 10 years old in 2016, was the first DEEP-approved watershed plan in Connecticut to utilize the nine element format recommended by the US Environmental Protection Agency. NRWC will use the funding to review and update the watershed plan to reflect the many plan elements that have been addressed and/or completed, and to include elements such as climate change and sea-level rise that were not included in the 2006 document.
