The Partnership is currently working to upgrade the priority subwatershed plans, identified during its initial planning process, to meet the Section 319 grant program requirements.  Over the next 2 years we will also be meeting with landowners and municipalities in the priority subwatersheds in order to identify water quality and habitat projects that can be submitted for IEPA Section 319 and IDNR C-2000 grants.
