CWIP Clean Water Project Data Reporting Standards

Guidance
June 25, 2024
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.
