State and Territorial Prioritization Frameworks

One of the goals of the Long-Term Vision for Assessment, Restoration, and Protection under the Clean Water Act Section 303(d) Program is for states to “…review, systematically prioritize, and report priority watersheds or waters for restoration and protection...” The documents detailing how each state and territory is prioritizing its waters or watersheds under the CWA 303(d) Program can be accessed via the links below. For many jurisdictions, this is an ongoing process, and the prioritization framework is not yet complete (and thus not provided), or it is still in draft form. Thus, ELI's An Overview of State CWA 303(d) Program Vision Prioritization Frameworks provides a summary and historical snapshot of state Vision priorities in their collective first year.
