The purpose of the AWPF is to provide monies for implementation of projects that will maintain, enhance and restore rivers, streams and associated riparian resources through a yearly competitive public grant process. The Arizona Water Protection Fund Commission (Commission), which oversees the AWPF, is comprised of 15 appointed citizen based voting members and 2 non-voting state agency members. Commissioners represent a variety of land, water use and riparian perspectives. The Arizona Water Protection Fund was intended to be a proactive response to possible federal intervention in Arizona’s river and riparian resource issues. The program was partially created to promote the use of incentives emphasizing local implementation rather than regulation to address resource concerns. As such, the Commission’s philosophy has been to utilize a grass roots approach to improving river and riparian resources statewide. The program is operated through a competitive grant process that asks the public to propose local solutions rather than having the State dictate specific measures, priorities or areas of concern. Rivers, streams and riparian areas are important resources to the people of Arizona. These resources have been significantly impacted from human uses such as industry, recreation and livestock grazing as well as from natural events such as floods, drought and fire. Proper land and watershed management strategies can make a profound difference in the health and economic value of our rivers and riparian ecosystems. The Commission has invested in 199 projects over the past fourteen years and contributed almost $41 million toward the restoration, protection and enhancement of river and riparian resources in Arizona. As a result, Arizona citizens have realized many benefits from these investments through improvements in water quality, in-stream flows/water supplies, biodiversity, fish and wildlife habitat, recreation, flood control and overall watershed health. In addition, important socioeconomic benefits such as jobs and revenue streams are realized by many local communities through the implementation of Arizona Water Protection Fund projects. The Commission was not able to offer a grant cycle for FY 2010 due to legislative funding sweeps and the lack of a general fund appropriation; however, continued to hold regular business meetings throughout the year. Staff continued to provide project management for 30 active grant projects and technical assistance to grantees. 2 Arizona Water Protection Fund…… Protecting Arizona’s River and Riparian Resources Arizona Water Protection Fund Creation and Purpose The 1994 Arizona Legislature established the Arizona Water Protection Fund (AWPF) and the Arizona Water Protection Fund Commission (Commission) to administer the AWPF (A.R.S. § 45-2101 et seq.). In passing the enabling legislation, the Legislature declared that their policy was to provide for a coordinated effort for the restoration and conservation of the water resources of the state. The policy was designed to allow the people of Arizona to prosper while providing financial resources for protection and restoration of this State’s rivers, streams and associated riparian habitats, including dependent fish and wildlife resources. The law mandates that financial resources be available through grants to appropriate public and private entities to assist in water resource management activities that are consistent with that policy (A.R.S. § 45-2101 (A)). The primary purpose of the AWPF by statute is to provide an annual source of funds for the development and implementation of measures to protect water of sufficient quality and quantity to maintain, enhance and restore rivers, streams and associated riparian resources, including fish and wildlife resources that are dependent on these important habitats, consistent with existing water law and water rights. The Commission may also provide funding to develop and protect riparian habitats in conjunction with a man-made water resource project, if the man-made water resource project directly or indirectly benefits a river or stream and includes or creates a riparian habitat. Program Organization Arizona Water Protection Fund Commission The Commission is the main policy making body for the AWPF. The Commission is comprised of 15 voting members who must be Arizona residents and are appointed by various officials who, by statute, represent a variety of land, water use and socioeconomic perspectives. In addition, several of the appointed positions require technical expertise in water, natural resources and riparian ecology. There also are two non-voting ex officio members – The Director of the Arizona Department of Water Resources and the Commissioner of the Arizona State Land Department. A list of current Commissioners and vacancies is provided in Table 1. Arizona Water Protection Fund Administration The Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) provides the primary technical, legal and administrative staff to the Commission. The AWPF is managed by its Executive Director under the direction of the Commission. Current staffing includes an Executive Director, 2 Project Managers, Legal Counsel and an Administrative Assistant. The Arizona State Land Department staff position that is to act as a special liaison to Natural Resource Conservation Districts has remained vacant. 3 Arizona Water Protection Fund…… Protecting Arizona’s River and Riparian Resources Table 1.

The Commission and staff developed new grant evaluation criteria to better assist applicants with developing projects that are focused and meet the program’s mission. In addition, the Commission is requiring that research applications identify the ecosystem services that will be realized as a result of the project. Staff also continued to provide project management for 30 active grant projects and technical assistance to grantees. To date, the Commission has invested in 199 projects and contributed almost $41 million toward the restoration, protection and enhancement of river and riparian resources in Arizona. A wide range of projects have been funded including but not limited to channel restoration, riparian revegetation, wetland creation/restoration, fencing and other grazing management improvements, upland restoration, erosion control and applied ecological research. Arizona citizens have realized many benefits from these investments through improvements in water quality, in-stream flows/water supplies, biodiversity, fish and wildlife habitat, recreation, flood control and overall watershed health. In addition, important socioeconomic benefits such as jobs and revenue streams are realized by many local communities through the implementation of Arizona Water Protection Fund projects. A complete list of projects and a location map are included in Appendix A. FY 2010 Grant Awards The Commission was not provided with an appropriation in the state budget this fiscal year and therefore was not able to implement a grant cycle in support of our statutory directive. Conclusion In the upcoming fiscal year, The Arizona Water Protection Commission and staff will continue to make substantial progress toward the restoration, protection and enhancement of river and riparian resources throughout the State. The Commission looks forward to reviewing the FY 2011 grant applications and is committed to approving projects that are fiscally responsible and beneficial to the citizens of Arizona. 5 Appendix A: List and Map of AWPF Projects The Map and List of AWPF Projects with Map Key in this report contain a compilation of grants awarded between FY 1995 – 2009 that have been implemented through contracts and had expenditures made against the grant award.
