Assistance LISTING15.962: implementation of the white clay creek wild and scenic river management plan:the award purpose is to stimulate the long-term capacity of local communities and partner organizations to plan for the conservation, management, restoration, and public enjoyment of the white clay creek wild and scenic river, consistent with public law 106-357 and the white clay creek management plan. PL 106-357 establishes a cooperative management framework for wild and scenic river implementation based on the partnership wild and scenic river model of the national park service. Funding provided through this agreement serves to implement annual workplans under the management plan, which are developed in close cooperation with the management committee. The management committee selected the white clay creek watershed association (the recipient) to serve as fiscal agent to implement the annual workplans. Specific activities include engaging the public in environmental stewardship, gaining new knowledge through research and water quality monitoring, and protecting the outstandingly remarkable natural, cultural, and recreational values of the river through river restoration, land protection, and resource management.
