Not listed DESCRIPTION:THIS AGREEMENT PROVIDES SUPPORT TO THE STATE OF WYOMING TO IMPLEMENT ITS NONPOINT SOURCE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM, FOCUSING ON WATERSHEDS WITH WATER QUALITY IMPAIRMENTS CAUSED BY POLLUTED RUNOFF FROM NONPOINT SOURCES. NONPOINT SOURCE IMPLEMENTATION PROJECTS INCLUDE A VARIETY OF STRUCTURAL AND NON-STRUCTURAL BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (BMPS), WATERSHED PLANNING, MONITORING, TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATIONS, AND A VARIETY OF EDUCATION/OUTREACH PROGRAMS.ACTIVITIES:THIS GRANT IS USED FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ACTIVITIES THAT ARE CONSISTENT WITH RECOMMENDATIONS DESCRIBED IN THE WYOMING NONPOINT SOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN. WYOMING SUPPORTS AN EXTENSIVE SUBAWARD PROGRAM THAT FUNDS PROJECTS ACROSS THE STATE TO ADDRESS NONPOINT SOURCE ISSUES. THESE IMPLEMENTATION ACTIVITIES OR PRACTICES ARE IDENTIFIED IN A DEQ-ACCEPTED WATERSHED RESTORATION PLAN (WRP). THESE PROJECTS ADDRESS IMPAIRMENTS IDENTIFIED ON WYOMING'S LIST OF IMPAIRED WATERS. IN SOME INSTANCES, PROJECTS ON STREAMS THAT ARE NOT LISTED AS IMPAIRED MAY BE ACCEPTABLE. THE PROPOSED WORK IN THIS AGREEMENT INCLUDES: THREE PROJECTS THAT WILL SUPPORT SELENIUM REDUCTION BMPS (SUCH AS CONVERTING FLOOD TO SPRINKLERS, PIPING EARTHEN DITCHES, IMPROVING SOIL HEALTH AND IRRIGATED LANDS), IMPLEMENTING AGRICULTURAL BMPS (SUCH AS CONVERTING OPEN DIRT DITCH CANALS TO BURIED PIPELINES, INSTALLING OFF-CHANNEL WATER AND SEDIMENT BASINS, AND STABILIZING THE RIPARIAN AREA AND BANK THROUGH REVEGETATION AND STRUCTURES THAT PROMOTE A NATURALLY STABLE STREAM CHANNEL), AND SEDIMENT AND EROSION REDUCTION EFFORTS (SUCH AS IRRIGATION DIVERSION RECONSTRUCTION AND STREAM RESTORATION, IMPROVING STREAM STABILITY, WATER QUALITY, FISH HABITAT, AND FISH PASSAGE).SUBRECIPIENT:THE THREE SUBAWARDS FUNDED IN THIS GRANT WILL FUND ON-THE-GROUND PROJECTS, OUTREACH AND EDUCATION ACTIVITIES, LOCAL CAPACITY BUILDING, AND WATER QUALITY RESTORATION PROJECTS, WHICH ARE ALL DESIGNED TO ADDRESS NONPOINT SOURCE POLLUTION.OUTCOMES:THE 319 NONPOINT SOURCE PROGRAM PROVIDES FUNDING FOR DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF PROJECTS THAT REDUCE AND PREVENT NONPOINT SOURCE POLLUTION IN IMPAIRED WATERBODIES WHILE IMPROVING WATER QUALITY AND RESTORING NATURAL STREAM AND LAKE PROCESSES. THE ANTICIPATED DELIVERABLES ARE ANNUAL AND FINAL REPORTS THAT DESCRIBES THE WORK THAT HAS OCCURRED UNDER THE GRANT, DATA INPUT TO THE NATIONAL NONPOINT SOURCE DATABASE, EDUCATION AND OUTREACH ACTIVITIES. THE EXPECTED EXPECTED ENVIRONMENTAL OUTCOMES FROM THE SUBAWARDS INCLUDE: SUBAWARD 1: INSTALL LINING AND PIPING ON OPEN CANALS, LATERALS AND DITCHES, WATER AND STAGE CONTROL STRUCTURES AND AUTOMATION UNITS, IRRIGATION SCHEDULING BMPS, AND COVER CROP IMPLEMENTATION. SUBAWARD 1 IS EXPECTED TO REDUCE SELENIUM LOADING BY 1% WHILE THE COMBINED SEGMENTS WOULD REDUCE SELENIUM LOADING IN THE CASPER CREEK, OREGON TRAIL DRAIN, POISON SPIDER/SPRING CREEKS, AND NORTH PLATTE SUB-WATERSHEDS A MINIMUM OF 10% BY 2026 THROUGH IMPROVED IRRIGATION CONVEYANCE, ON-FARM APPLICATION SYSTEMS, IMPLEMENTATION OF COVER CROPS, AND IRRIGATION WATER MANAGEMENT. SUBAWARD 2: INSTALL APPROXIMATELY 7,700 FEET OF PIPELINE TO REPLACE THE EXISTING ERODING EARTHEN MEYER'S DITCH, INSTALL SMALL RESERVOIRS ALONG PAINT ROCK CREEK TO PROVIDE OFF-CHANNEL WATER FOR LIVESTOCK/WILDLIFE AND CATCH SEDIMENT AND WATER DURING HIGH RUNOFF, AND INSTALL STREAM AND RIPARIAN RESTORATION PRACTICES TO IMPROVE BUFFER ZONE CONDITIONS, REDUCE EROSION, AND LIMIT ACCESSIBILITY FOR DIRECT DEFECATION. SUBAWARD 2 WILL PRIMARILY REDUCE FECAL COLIFORM LOADING TO PAINT ROCK CREEK BY INSTALLING SEVERAL BMPS TO ADDRESS CONTRIBUTIONS FROM RANGELAND, CROPLAND, AND RIPARIAN SOURCES. BECAUSE THERE IS ALSO A KNOWN ISSUE WITH EROSION THAT IS LIKELY ALLOWING MORE TRANSPORT OF E. COLI POLLUTANTS, THIS PROJECT WILL CONCURRENTLY WORK TO STABILIZE THE STREAM CHANNEL AND RIPARIAN AREA, WHICH WILL REDUCE SEDIMENT LOADING AND SLOW OVERLAND RUNOFF. SUBAWARD 3: RECONSTRUCT A PERMANENT, SELF-MAINTAINING, FISH-PASSABLE ROCK CROSS-VANE IRRIGATION DIVE $967.0k 7/17/23
