Develop site-specific and watershed -specific management plans tailored to high-priority areas and <br />resources <br />• Secure assistance with and funding for developing Watershed Management Plans (see Appendix <br />V4A). Funding sources include the DOH Polluted Runoff Control (PRC) program and DOFAW's <br />Watershed Partnership Program. <br />• Develop Watershed Management Plans for high priority areas. Watershed management plans are <br />data -driven, technical, and detailed plans for specific watersheds that identify the sources of <br />pollution and the recommended management strategies. Analysis that drives the planning includes <br />community goals; hazard risks; unique social, cultural, economic, and environmental characteristics; <br />mauka-makai connections; and stakeholder interests and potential for collaboration. As <br />recommended by the ORMP, the plans may include strategies to: <br />• Address specific land-based pollution threats <br />• Meet total maximum daily load (TMDL) targets <br />• Leverage state, federal, and private sector funding to implement best management practices <br />• Monitor best management practices. <br />Implement management plans for priority areas and resources. <br />Organizational Considerations: <br />The Action Committee may want to establish one or more subcommittees to spearhead this action. <br />Likewise, it may want to ask community partners to assume responsibility for some of the steps. <br />It may also be helpful for groups to focus on specific high-priority sites or areas. <br />Other Resources: <br />Technical guides for developing watershed and other resource management plans (see Appendix V4A) <br />Other communities: Hanalei Watershed Hui, Kaupulehu Marine Life Advisory Committee, Kahalu'u Bay <br />Education Center (KBEC), Hui Aloha Kiholo, Hui Malama o Mo'omomi, Blackfoot Challengel <br />Grants and other financial assistance from partners, the Harold K.L.
