Collective CD Output and Impacts

Posts: 0
Joined: 1 second ago

Does your state agency have a standardized way to capture CDs environmental outputs/impacts? If so, what reporting document(s) do you use? Individual accomplishments are good, but we're particularly interested in collective outputs/impacts. What incentive(s) do you have for receiving the data?

We are also trying to work on this in Kansas right now and would be interested to see what other states say!

Rachael, We have a document on our West Virginia Conservation Agency website (also found under Programs > Non-Point Source > then the Second Creek Conservation Socioeconomic Study link) that should provide some insight into how we've handled this in West Virginia. Also, please see below. Thanks, Judith

In Indiana, we have a Section 1619 agreement with NRCS. This allows our Indiana Conservation Partnership (ICP) to share data across partners to share funding inputs, nutrient reduction estimations, etc. Here at ISDA we act as the data aggregation hub for the ICP. We have a Geospatial Program Manager on staff that leads this effort to assist with SharePoint maintenance, data entry questions and clean-up, and analysis for communications. For now, we only estimate nutrient and sediment reductions for practices that can be modeled by EPA's Region 5 model. However, we are currently working on expanding our reporting metrics. We do not offer incentives for data reporting, but rather, it is a collective known effort across our partnership to highlight the work we all contribute to at a variety of scales. You can see our data products here at this link: https://www.in.gov/isda/divisions/soil-conservation/data-hub/.
