History
Contract Description:
Wasco County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) provides local leadership in implementation of several full-scale watershed enhancement projects focused on improving watershed health.  Working in close partnership with Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) our team's strength is our ability to develop and implement scientifically sound, economically feasible resource management plans for private landowners.

The two year goal is to establish fourteen to twenty-four (14-24) CCRP/CREP buffer agreements (on anadromous fish streams) which will be signed by landowners annually, committing desired property to CCRP/CREP rules, i.e. shrub/tree/grass planting, weed control, livestock exclusion.  Wasco SWCD staff will track contracts to ensure a smooth process between landowners and partner agencies. This tracking entails monitoring the approval process on completed plans through SWCD, NRCS, and FSA County Committee sign-off and Farm Service Agency (FSA) contracting.

This program meets a critical need in the lower Deschutes and lower John Day River basins.  This project fills a critical staffing need to conduct assessments and develop plans to address the backlog of potential projects. Plans developed under this project are used for federal contracts to implement riparian buffers.
The SWCD uses the USDA NRCS Nine step planning process to develop these plans: (1) Identify problems
and opportunities, (2) Determine Objectives, (3) Inventory resources, (4) Analyze resource inventory, (5)
Formulate alternatives, (6) Evaluate alternatives, (7) Decision - Select Alternative, (8) Implement the Plan,
(9) Evaluate plan (monitor).

Notes:
Operation and Maintenance (O&M) are not required in this project:
Actual O&M is a funded item in the CCRP/CREP contracts whereby the landowner receives a small fee per acre to cover maintenance costs.  The landowner is responsible under the contract for the maintenance.  O&M is funded by USDA.

Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) is included as a cost item.  Additionally, records of stream miles, acreage and number of plans completed will be tracked for reporting purposes:
Farm Service Agency (FSA) has fiscal and administrative responsibility for managing CREP contracts to ensure contract terms are being met.  Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has responsibility for technical supervision of all installed practices.  NRCS delegates authority to the SWCD to provide this technical supervision as long as the SWCD adheres to NRCS standards and specifications.  Through this delegation, SWCD technicians will use the NRCS Stream Visual Assessment Protocol (provided by NRCS) as the principal monitoring and evaluation tool to evaluate and describe both pre- and post- CREP project conditions.
