March 5, 2010: GOCO Survey for Legacy and Large Grants
GOCO often hears from land conservancy organizations and the open space programs from many local governments but many watershed groups also have large restoration projects out there that they are trying to fund. If there is a public component to your project this may be an opportunity to get on the GOCO radar. GOCO would like to hear about potential projects you may be working on and would like to know if you don’t have anything right now. This is solely an effort to gauge the demand for larger grants and will NOT be used to invite selected respondents to submit applications. To complete the survey, visit Large Grants-Legacy Questionnaire.doc. Please return it to Dale Craker, Director of Programs, at dcraker@goco.org by March 26, 2010. If you have any questions, contact Dale or Kathleen Staks at kstaks@goco.org or 303-226-4515.

Colorado Data Sharing Network New SWAP schedule
CDSN has the opportunity to organize and host a Data Sharing Network SWAP in your watershed or basin this spring or fall.  The target audiences for SWAP events are anyone in a local watershed who is interested and working with water resources, whether generating data or just a data user.  A SWAP is a placed based gathering, at a local watershed scale such as the Gunnison River, where entities come prepared to share what they are doing or need done, when, where, how, why and their monitoring and assessment needs and concerns.  Presentations can also be given regarding recent studies, projects or work in that basin.  The agenda is set by a local team.  CDSN creates a watershed team that plans the time, location and agenda of the SWAP and then produces a fact sheet available to all documenting the information exchanged. For more details, visit 2010SWAPinvite.pdf. To see the SWAP calendar, visit CDSNCalendarDec2009. If you are interested in having CDSN conduct a SWAP in your watershed, please contact CDSN Project Coordinator at cwqmc@coloradowaterquality.org. Questions can be answered by Barb Horn, co-chair, at 970-382-6667 or barb.horn@state.co.us.

Pilot program to provide technical assistance to Clean Water SRF programs in states to identify opportunities to support location efficient investments  
There are two opportunities to apply for this opportunity, the first deadline is January 6, 2010, a second deadline will be sometime in March 2010. The pilot program will provide technical assistance to 2 - 4 states and/or associated financing authorities who want to modify their existing Clean Water program. Currently, the technical assistance program applies only to the Clean Water SRF programs to ensure their state water infrastructure investments are used to promote location-efficient investments. The aim of EPA’s offer of technical assistance is to promote more widespread adoption of practices that encourage states to reinvest in their existing infrastructure systems. Please see SRF_Pilot.doc for more information. For questions, contact Dennis O’Connor at oconnor.dennis@epa.gov or 202-343-9213.
