Niantic River Watershed Protection Plan Update
The Niantic River Watershed Protection Plan (NRWPP) is twelve years old and is ready for an update! NRWC has received funding from the Clean Water Act Section 319 Nonpoint Source grant program through CT DEEP, the Community Foundation of Eastern Connecticut and Kleinschmidt Foundation to conduct the Plan update. NRWC has prepared and distributed a Request for Proposals (RFP) for qualified contractors to lead a series of public workshops to identify elements in the Plan that are ready to be updated, leading to the preparation of an addendum to the Plan. Input from the general public as well as municipal staff and officials will be solicited.
