Moab Area Watershed Management Plan
The Moab Area Watershed Partnership has been working on a Watershed Management Plan that will guide projects to improve water quality in Spanish and Castle Valley. It is a lengthy document that covers both surface and groundwater and how the MAWP intends to improve and protect water in Spanish and Castle Valley.
The MAWP realizes the monitoring and reporting policy could drive changes in this WMP, the projects, and the policies the MAWP supports. Version 2.2 is the most recent document. This document is a working and living document that the MAWP has agreed to review and revise on an annual basis. At the very least projects will be completed and new projects developed and started. The Moab Area Watershed Management Plan will change with those projects and the focus of the MAWP. This is not a final document, there will never be a final document, but this a great place to start.

Sampling Analysis Plans
A Sampling Analysis Plan (SAP) for Castle and Spanish Valley has been developed through Utah Water Watch and Utah Division of Water Quality (UDWQ). The sampling is intended to augment the monitoring done by UDWQ. The plans concentrate volunteer sampling efforts in areas that are having the greatest difficulty meeting water quality standards. The efforts also focus on field readings that do not require expensive laboratory analyses. The SAP for each valley can be found by clicking the link below.

Project Implementation Plans
Project Implementation Plans are required for EPA 319 grant funding. The implementation plans are a comprehensive document detailing all the projects and project administration being performed in a watershed.

Annual Monitoring Reports
Every November the Watershed Coordinator presents a summary of data collected during the previous water year. A water year is October 1 though September 30. The reports should document improvements in water quality as projects are completed. The summary and analysis also provides the MAWP with areas where projects could be focused to improve water quality.
Other MAWP Sponsered Reports and Workshops
The MAWP has sponsored other workshops and studies of importance to the Partners. Below are the results of those efforts.
