Highest Priorities

Watersheds and sub-watersheds have been identified in previous ADEQ grant cycles to develop Watershed-based Implementation Plans (WIPs), now called Clean Water Plans (CWPs). The highest priority projects for the current cycle are those that have been specifically identified in an ADEQ-funded WIP | Learn More >

Secondary Priorities

• Little Colorado River (LCR) Headwaters (from West Fork LCR to Lyman Lake) — Impairment: Sediment/turbidity
• Upper Santa Cruz River (From Mexico border to Sopori Wash) — Impairment: E. coli

Projects outside of these priority areas may be considered for funding if they can demonstrate a high likelihood to quantifiably reduce nonpoint source pollution in an impaired water body.
