The Department of Sustainability and Resilience’s Lakes and Ponds Program seeks qualified candidates to develop three Watershed Based Plans (WBP) for the Tatnuck Brook Watershed, Mill Brook Watershed, and Lake Quinsigamond Watershed (watershed study areas). The deliverables from the RFP will result in three actionable 9-element Watershed Based Plans (WBP) that meets EPA’s requirements for the federal Clean Water Act Section 319 Program. The WBPs will identify pollutant loads and load reduction targets, provide stakeholders with a roadmap to restoration and protection, and make future implementation projects eligible for Section 319 funding. Additionally, where no impairments are identified, the plan will provide a set of practices to ensure that water quality is maintained.
