Washington State Receives One of 18 Priority CSP Watersheds


Outline of Moses Coulee Watershed in Washington StateThe Moses Coulee Watershed has been selected for the 2004 Conservation Security Program (CSP). The watershed boundaries include areas of Douglas and Grant counties and provide relief of approximately 580,000 acres.  This watershed was selected from a national pool because of its diverse landuse, high conservation activity, collaborative efforts of various groups and agencies, and presence of  threatened and endangered species and associated critical habitat areas.

CSP is a voluntary program that provides financial and technical assistance to promote the conservation and improvement of soil, water, air, energy, plant and animal life, and other conservation purposes on Tribal and private working lands. Working lands include cropland, grassland, prairie land, improved pasture, and range land, as well as forested land that is an incidental part of an agriculture operation. The program is available in all 50 States, the Caribbean Area and the Pacific Basin area. The program provides equitable access to benefits to all producers, regardless of size of operation, crops produced, or geographic location.

The CSP is administered by NRCS in Washington. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) field offices in Waterville and Ephrata and the Foster Creek, South Douglas and the Upper Grant Conservation Districts will assist in implementing the program.
