-- Are located in watersheds that have the ability to produce high quality ground and/or surface water;

-- contribute to water quality through protection of streams, headwaters and other important recharge areas; and

-- protect sites that are vulnerable to erosion and groundwater pollution.

The grants are targeted to several cluster areas within the Delaware Watershed, including the Pocono and Kittatinny, Upper Lehigh and Schuylkill Highlands in Pennsylvania.
