6.7 Funding
The WRIA 62 Watershed Planning Unit considers this working plan and, as such, additional actions
for implementation may arise in the future once projects are implemented, data collected and issues
better understood. In order to implement the actions in this plan and continue development of
concepts into new actions for implementation, annual funding will be required. The following
paragraphs provide a description of funding sources. The actual costs of Plan implementation will be
determined in Phase IV.
Phase IV implementation funds that include:
WRIA 62 WMP 032305
• Up to $100,000 for the first three years of implementation, with a 10% required
match ($11,111 per year). Second and third year funding is conditioned on the
completion of an approved Detailed Implementation Plan.
• At the end of three years, up to $50,000 for the fourth and fifth years of
implementation, with a 10% required match ($5,556 per year).
Matching funds may include financial contributions, in-kind goods and services (including volunteer
services).
The WRIA 62 Watershed Planning Unit also recommends that the Legislature consider making
supplemental funding associated with Phase II Planning available for use in Phase IV Implementation
for those watersheds (such as WRIA 62) that did not apply for supplemental Phase II funding for
instream flow, water quality or storage planning elements. If the Legislature makes these funds
available, an additional $300,000 ($100,000 each to support instream flow, water quality or storage
assessments) may be available.
Other potential funding sources are listed below. Additional potential funding sources are identified
and described in Appendix K of this plan.
• Specific grants that may be available through the Washington State Departments of
Ecology, Fish and Wildlife and Health that will vary over time.
• Federal funding sources for monitoring, pollution prevention and control, watershed
and drinking water source protection, wetlands and wildlife. These funding sources
are compiled in EPA’s Catalog of Federal Funding Sources for Watershed
Protection.
• Centennial Clean Water Funds available through the Washington State Departments
of Ecology.
• Pend Oreille Salmonid Recovery Team with funding through the Salmon Recovery
Funding Board (SRFB).
• The Northwest Power and Conservation Council funding of habitat restoration
projects and public involvement and education through the Bonneville Power
Administration (BPA).
• Fundraising by the Watershed Planning Implementing Body.
