2 Narragansett Bay and Watershed Restoration Bond Fund 1) Govt. Entities Nonpoint Source Water Pollution Control Fund 2) Non-Govt. Non-point Source Water Pollution Control Fund 3) Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund

3 Goal of the Watershed Restoration Bond Fund Restore and protect the water quality, enhance economic viability and environmental sustainability of Narragansett Bay and the State s watersheds.

4 Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund Why are Riparian Buffers important? What is the purpose of the grant? Who s eligible? What types of projects are eligible? How are projects selected for funding?

5 What is a Riparian Buffer? Riparian is from Latin ripa, the bank of a river. Land adjacent to rivers, streams, lakes, ponds and coastal waters that is maintained in a natural condition and is integral to the ecology of aquatic systems.

6 Transition Between Land & Water Surface water present (at least part of the year) High edge to area ratio Unique Plant & Animal Communities

7 Link Land Uses Within a Watershed

8 Buffers Conditions Within a Watershed

9 Riparian Buffers Provide Water Quality Benefits at Low Cost Remove Sediments Prevent erosion

10 Riparian Buffers Provide Water Quality Benefits at Low Cost Biological Functions Stream temperature Organic material Filter Pollutants 4-80% of N 29-78% of P

11 Other Benefits of Riparian Buffers Greenways Recharge groundwater Flood storage Aesthetics Recreation Wildlife habitat

12 Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund Who s eligible: government & non-govt. entities & persons Purpose: water quality improvement/protection Goal: re-establishment of native species or other improvement projects that will establish or restore riparian habitats, or enhance the overall quality of riparian buffers

13 Ineligible Projects Experimental Technology Improvement in business operations rather than pollution reduction Research Land Acquisition ISDS Stormwater BMPs
