| Comprehensive Irrigation District Management Plan (CIDMP) | Updated: 04-27-07 | |||||
The CIDMP approach to land and water management was developed to help landowners and irrigators design and implement their own creative and proactive solutions to enhance and preserve the value of their property while complying with requirements of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and the Clean Water Act (CWA). Several watersheds within the state of Washington have served as pilots for the CIDMP process, one being the Walla Walla Watershed. The Watershed-Level CIDMP process has three phases of development, with subsequent steps in each phase. The following information was taken from, Guidelines for Preparing a Comprehensive Irrigation District Management Plan (May 2001), and modified to summarizes the steps suggested for developing a Comprehensive Irrigation District Management Plan (CIDMP). Phase One - Establish Framework for Planning: Phase Two - Gather Information, Identify Actions, and Produce Plan Document: Phase Three - Define and Address SEPA Requirements, and Produce a final Plan Document: Within the Walla Walla Watershed there are currently proposals to conduct various phases of Watershed-Level CIDMPs. The Walla Walla Watershed Alliance is leading the effort to help landowners by offering CIDMP project funds provided by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).
Potential CIDMP project areas include:
Phase Two and Three: If you would like to learn more about the proposed work and to engage in the CIDMP voluntary process, please contact the Walla Walla Watershed Alliance.
