Water: Wetlands
State and Tribal Wetland Program Plans
You will need Adobe Reader to view some of the files on this page. See EPA's PDF page to learn more.
Wetland Program Plans (WPPs) are voluntary plans developed and implemented by state agencies and tribes which articulate what these entities want to accomplish with their wetland programs over time. WPPs describe overall program goals along with broad-based actions and more specific activities that will help achieve the goals. Timelines for the WPPs vary between 3-6 years, with more specific timeframes typically associated with the Plan actions/activities.
EPA Regional offices review WPPs, and plans that have been approved by EPA are published on this Web page. The Web page includes the name of the state agency(ies) or tribe that developed the WPP, a link to the WPP itself, the years covered by the WPP, and the wetland program Core Elements covered by the WPP.
Further details about WPP content and submission, review, and approval process can be found in an October 2009 EPA memorandum (PDF) (8 pp, 51K). WPPs must be generally consistent with the Wetland Program Core Elements Framework.
EPA strongly encourages local governments, universities, nonprofit organizations, and other parties interested in wetland program development to review the WPPs listed here. Parties who are interested and able to collaborate with a state/tribe in carrying out the actions articulated in its WPP, or are otherwise interested in connecting their own wetland work with that of a particular state or tribal WPP, are encouraged to contact the individuals listed below.
