1	Local Red River Basin Implementation Plans Defining social/ economic/ environmentally acceptable NRE and FDR projects for priority watershed areas.
2	What the Plan can do for you! Project eligibility “Guidebook” for Watershed Local Project Team - Intergovernmental coordination / implementation projects with limited regulatory concerns Build network necessary to establish “outside” sources to support local directives
3	Guiding Principles Principle #1. Participation in Planning Process Principle #2. Focus on project areas or subwatersheds Principle #3. Consensus on Focus of Plan Principle #4. Coordination of all Red River Planning Efforts
4	Participation Active commitment Project visibility for grants No eleventh hour regulatory surprises
5	Focus on project areas or subwatersheds Interpret watershed perspective Select problem areas Prioritize – WD work with CAC and TAC using consensus process
6	Coordination of all Red River Planning Efforts Comprehensive Local Water Planning County Landuse Planning and Zoning State Agency Planning efforts Federal Planning efforts TMDL’s
7	Coordination with local citizens and state / federal partners
8	Plan is foundation for Local Project Team
