Progress 01/01/04 to 12/31/04
Outputs
Approximately $100,000 was provided for FY2004, from the Federal Water Resources Research Act through the USDI, Geological Survey, the Federal Clean Water Act, Section 319, administered by the US EPA through the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, as seed/pilot funding. Twenty-one proposals were considered by a selection panel composed of four senior agency representatives from the NPSCC and a SUNY representative. The panel recommended funding four proposals: 1)Measuring the effects of wetland and riparian zones on water quality in the urban Patroon Creek Watershed, Albany County, NY, John G. Arnason, SUMY Albany, 2) Assessing Nitrate-Nitrogen in Surface and Groundwater in Eastern Wyoming County NY, Larry D. Geohring, Cornell University 3) Innovative Management of Stormwater on Underutilized Urban Surfaces, Tammo S. Steenhuis,Cornell University 4) Regional Water Quality Tools for Identifying High Runoff Risk Areas in Watersheds, Todd Walter, Cornell,
University. WWRA Funded Project Oversight: Once per year, each project is required to submit a synopsis for the annual report and data for the annual NIWR survey. Principals are queried for one to three years after their projects are completed to trace delayed publications and the careers of former students. Primary quality assurance comes when a principal looks for subsequent funding. If their publication or student record is poor, or the work is criticized or ignored by user audiences, proposals tend to be rated poorly. Final Program Report: Project principals and WRI staff contribute synopses and data to the annual final report.

Outputs
(Actual calendar 2002 principals are K.S. Porter, L. Geohring, K. Irvine, J. Lamboy, K. Sklenar, P. Parasiewicz, J. Graney, and T. Steenhuis.) Seven NY higher education projects receiving grants under this program during 2002 began work in March 2002 and extend through at least February 2003. Progress on these projects will be reported to the US Department of the Interior and NYS DEC in June 2003, and that report will be cited in the calendar 2003 CRIS report. The corresponding report to USDI covering 2001 projects has been delayed until January 2003, thus will not be cited until the 2003 CRIS report.
