CCWRRP Locally-led Coastal Habitat Restoration to Improve Water Quality on Cape Cod"

Cape Cod Water Resources Restoration Project (CCWRRP)" n 10 year effort n Restore 1500 Ac. of Degraded Salt Marsh n Improve Fish Access to 4200 Ac. of Spawning Area n Improve Water Quality for 7300 Ac. of Shellfish Growing Area

Cape Cod Water Resources Restoration Project (CCWRRP)" Initial outreach to" local partners meeting at " The Assembly of Delegates Chamber Room" Barnstable Courthouse" October 11, 2001"

History and Process" Work on Plan started in 2003" Final Plan and EIS published in 2006" Project plan signed by towns in 2006" Fall 2009 - CRC members update towns projects" State agency partners (DMF, DER) identify priorities" December 2009 - Congress approves Plan" Funding for first round is from ARRA [$5 million total, divided into two categories: construction ($3 million) and technical/design " "($2 million)]"
