Challenges and Benefits  Challenges  Funding for Program Development  Funding to Manage/ Renew Program  Every Project is different  External Staff Turnover  Benefits  Environmental Improvement  Quick implementation  Relationships with Regulatory Staff  Fee for Service?  Grant Funding

Opportunities and Values  Relationships Matter  Regulators have to trust the RCD/ NRCS  RCD/ NRCS cross jurisdictions and can build that trust  Changing Regulations Support Streamlining  State level recognition of needing to ease permitting  Need NRCS oversight  Regulators have to give up control  Adaptability to Change  Changing science, best practices, etc.  Protocols to deal with changing staff (internal and external) and transferability

Contact   Rich Casale   Stacie Ruffoni 

Build and Manage  Cost to Develop, $125,000  Cost to Renew, $65,000  Cost per Staff (training), $4,000  Cost per Staff (per project), $4,500 # of staff required per project
