Process & Timeline

The development of the Plan focuses on amplifying the voices of those who know the ARS most and utilizing cutting-edge science to create the best future possible for the region. The five-step process integrates public opinion, expert review, modeling, and the oversight of community and local leaders. This process ensures the development of both a scientifically sound and widely supported plan that can be realistically implemented.

Current Activities:

From November 2024 through February 2025, CPRA invited the public to submit projects through a project solicitation process. These projects are currently being screened for inclusion among the candidate projects, and objectives and metrics are being developed for each geographic area of the project area, known as Watershed Planning Units (WPUs).
