Farmington Watershed Farmington River Watershed 5-Year Action Plan Farmington River Watershed 5-Year Action Plan BRPC is currently working in the five Massachusetts communities in the Farmington River Watershed to develop a Five-Year Watershed Action Plan. The Massachusetts Executive Office of Environmental Affairs (EOEA) has granted funding to conduct this project which provides a unique opportunity for watershed communities to cooperatively set a course for the future of the Farmington River Watershed. BRPC has partnered with the Farmington River Watershed Association (FRWA). The plan will bring together existing studies, plans, maps, and reports that are related to environmental planning, water quality, water quantity, water use and conservation, open space, recreational benefits, habitat, non-point source pollution and storm water runoff. BRPC will create an inventory of the issues and priorities which impact the environmental health of the Farmington River Watershed. Once the inventory is compiled, BRPC will define goals, objectives, strategies, and identify potential solutions for these issues and problems. BRPC will outline specific priority actions. The recommendations of the 5-Year Action Plan will receive priority for funding from state grant programs and other funding sources. The Watershed Action Plan will reflect local priorities and regional consensus on issues that cross municipal and state boundaries. The residents within the Farmington River Watershed are encouraged to be actively involved in this planning process. BRPC and FRWA will actively solicit information and input from local officials and citizens, and environmental advocates. As a first step, BRPC has formed the Farmington River Watershed Advisory Committee. The committee is formed of representatives from the watershed communities, environmental organizations, government officials and other key stakeholders. The Watershed Advisory Committee will play a critical role in providing local knowledge and perspective to the planning process, and will provide a review role for draft Action Plan documents.
