Clean Water Initiative

This is a required final deliverable for all Clean Water Initiative Program block grants. This Excel file replaces the Final Performance Report for block grants and includes the Stormwater Best Management Practice Report and the Riparian Buffer Planting BMP Report. Please enter each design and implementation project with a WPD ID as its own row in this file. All projects should already have been entered to the Watershed Projects Database via the Batch Import File or ANR Online New Project Form.

This document provides guidance and criteria for phosphorus reduction accounting associated with clean water projects that are eligible to receive funding under the Clean Water Initiative Program Funding Policy.

This spreadsheet tool has been developed to provide estimated annual phosphorus load reductions based on anticipated project implementation metrics to support project prioritization and initial cost effectiveness calculations. This tool is subject to change, please confirm the version of the tool you are using matches the current available version posted on this page. This tool is for planning and prioritization purposes only, DEC will calculate final phosphorus reduction credit following project closeout and confirmation of final project metrics as implemented.

This Excel spreadsheet outlines how to report on clean water projects across land use sectors (agriculture, cross sector, developed lands, natural resources, and wastewater). Project types that we collect data on in each sector have the following information to help standardize reporting across partners: project type, practice type if applicable, a definition and minimum standards required to meet clean water reporting requirements, applicable performance measures, and data that would be required to estimate a phosphorus reduction.
