The original program, known as the Watershed Pilot Program (WPP) is now in Phase II. The intent of WPP is to assist in managing and implementing §319 projects and improve watershed organization sustainability. To qualify for this funding opportunity, the watershed organization must complete an application and meet eligibility requirements.  \nWPP details are available at: [https://dep.wv.gov/WWE/Programs/nonptsource/WBP/Pages/pilot.aspx](https://dep.wv.gov/WWE/Programs/nonptsource/WBP/Pages/pilot.aspx)[ ](https://dep.wv.gov/WWE/Programs/nonptsource/WBP/Pages/pilot.aspx)Included here are the final reports from each WPP organization in 2020.  \nCoal River Group   1  \nMorris Creek Watershed Association   6  \nPiney Creek Watershed Association   11  \nSave the Tygart Watershed Association   16  \nNPS 1710 Watershed Pilot Program Final Report  \nJuly 1st, 2019 – June 30th, 2020  \nCoal River Group  \nP.O. Box 363  \nSaint Albans, WV 25177  \n[CoalRiverGroup@Gmail.com](CoalRiverGroup@Gmail.com)  \n(304) 722-3055  \nNarrative and General Administration  \nThe Coal River Group (CRG) has now been a part of the WPP program for the past five years and remains a crucial component in the many achievements the group has accomplished. The WPP program has allowed the CRG to establish a project manager and has provided the important next step for the group to grow to become a financially sustainable river restoration entity. This position’s duties include coordinating public outreach events, coordinating volunteer events, such as tire clean-ups, managing the 319 Septic Repair Grant, applying for and administering grants that are crucial to the funding and ability of the CRG, as well many other tasks and duties. As have many non-profit groups, the CRG has struggled in the past to create permanence with all the programs it has taken on. The WPP Program provided the missing linkin terms of being able to coordinate and legitimize the group’s efforts to grow environmental awareness in the 840 square miles of the mostly rural and coal dependent Coal River Watershed.  \nThe past five years the CRG has taken on various projects and grants that could not be implemented before the WPP program. Seeing that the CRG is a non-profit organization fundraising is key to sustaining the life of the group, undoubtingly the WPP program has enhanced these efforts as the CRG is experiencing the highest success since established in 2004. The group has a great base of reliable volunteers, but with many volunteers there needs to be direction. The WPP program allows the CRG to have someone there to accomplish more projects and manage more of the river issues in the Coal River Watershed. Not only helping with managing different volunteer events, the staff position has helped grow the number of volunteers that have joined the CRG Team. This position has granted the ability to help keep upa clean watershed and get the community involved more than ever.  \nThe CRG has used the full amount of $22,500 .00 and supplied an additional $2,000 for staff training and travel. The WPP Program position has been filled by the CRG the full Fiscal year of 2020. Project Manager, Justin Hunt, has taken on the responsibilities of this position since August 2017.  \nProject Updates  \nThe Project Manager oversees NPS 319 grants for the CRG. The Brown’s Creek/Angel Fork Septic Remediation Project has been a part of the WPP position since 2016. The goal of this project is to remediate failing septic systems in the Brown’s Creek/Angel Fork area to reduce the high counts of fecal coliform that the stream. The current Project Manager has completed the first 319 grant, NPS1619, with sixteen repairs and replacements of failing septic tanks and four pump-outs for failing septic tanks within the WPP program. The success with NPS 1619 has made it possible for the CRG to be awarded with NPS 1724 for a Phase","cbCaich592JhrHVe","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaich592JhrHVe","pdf",1763532,22,"English","# Project Overview\n## Program Purpose and Eligibility\n# Coal River Group Staff Role\n## Outreach and Volunteer Coordination\n# Project Updates\n## Brown’s Creek/Angel Fork Septic Remediation\n# Outside Engagement Activities\n## 2019 Water Festival and COVID-19 Impacts\n# Fundraising and Capacity Building","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Watershed Pilot Program (WPP) funding?\",\"answer\":\"WPP funding supports watershed organizations with staff assistance to manage and implement §319 projects and improve organizational sustainability.\"},{\"question\":\"What septic remediation activities were included in the Coal River Group’s WPP work?\",\"answer\":\"The report covers remediation of failing septic systems in the Brown’s Creek/Angel Fork area, including completed repairs and replacements under NPS1619 and ongoing replacement/pump-out actions under NPS1724 Phase 2.\"},{\"question\":\"How did the COVID-19 pandemic affect outreach and engagement in 2020?\",\"answer\":\"Planned outreach activities and fundraising events were postponed for 2020, with continued engagement through telephone and video conferences until in-person participation could resume.\"}]","NPS 1710 Watershed Pilot Program Final Report - July 1, 2019 - June 30, 2020 | PDF",55]
