Niantic River Watershed Protection Plan Update

The Niantic River Watershed Protection Plan (NRWPP) is twelve years old and is ready  for an update! NRWC has received funding from the Clean Water Act Section 319 Nonpoint Source grant program through CT DEEP, the Community Foundation of Eastern Connecticut and Kleinschmidt Foundation to conduct the Plan update. NRWC has prepared and distributed a Request for Proposals (RFP) for qualified contractors to lead a series of public workshops to identify elements in the Plan that are ready to be updated, leading to the preparation of an addendum to the Plan. Input from the general public as well as municipal staff and officials will be solicited.

If you are a land use commissioner, watershed resident or business owner and would like to be part of the process, please contact Judy Rondeau at judy.rondeau@comcast.net or 860-774-9600 x13.

If you are a consultant with experience preparing watershed based plans and would like to submit a proposal, please contact Judy at the contact information above. The RFP timeline is provided below:
