Pocosin / Peatlands Restoration Sample Clauses

Pocosin / Peatlands Restoration. APNEP participates as a member of this workgroup and has focused effort on facilitating the Scuppernong Regional Water Management Study, partially fulfilling the NWL action on targeted interventions to protect peatlands from sea level rise and saltwater intrusion guided by scenario-based modeling. Funding is budgeted from this category but the workplan entry is included in the Community Resilience section since external funding is currently funding the Study itself and initial BIL funding is budgeted to continue community engagement and ongoing regional resilience coordination. Other projects include: o Addressing concerns of farmers that may be reluctant to try new proposed approaches to attenuate flow and relieve flooding if it means taking productive land out of production, even temporarily. There may be some opportunities to assist with conservation easement payments or economic studies to encourage voluntary participation to evaluate these methods in the coastal plain. Partners have also suggested that APNEP consider covering transactional costs for projects that traditional funders are unable to cover. Progress to Date: APNEP reports annually through NC-DEQ, NCORR, and the NC-NHP on multiple initiatives that further NWL Action Plan implementation including overall CHPP and CCMP implementation with special emphasis on SAV Mapping/Monitoring, the Scuppernong Study, and toolkits and resources for local governments to protect coastal habitats and promote nature-based solutions (NNBF project described below). APNEP is working with the NWL Steering Committee, workgroup members and VA partners about needs and gaps in available resources and funding. FY24-25 Plans: Assist with implementation of the wetland and coastal habitat actions of the NC NWL Action Plan and/or NC Executive Order 305. Priorities will be aligned with those established by the NWL Steering Committee in the 2023 NWL Action Tracker. Preference for project funding will given to active committee member organizations and those that participated in the development of the NWL Plan. Where possible, activities will be coordinated with the developing NC-DCR and VA-DEQ EPA CPRG state agency grants and the multi-state coalition application.
