EPA Watershed Initiative Grant
Presented to the Christina Basin Clean Water Partnership

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced on May 2, 2003 that the Christina River Basin had been selected to receive Watershed Initiative funding to support efforts to preserve and protect this interstate subbasin of the Delaware River Watershed. The Christina Basin Clean Water Partnership was one of only 20 community-based groups (out of 176 applications) receiving federal funding under the $15 million national program.

EPA Regional Administrator Donald S. Welsh formally presented the $1 million grant -- the full amount requested -- to the Christina Basin Clean Water Partnership at the Ashland Nature Center in Hockessin, Delaware on November 7, 2003. DRBC Executive Director Carol R. Collier accepted the ceremonial check on behalf of the partnership.
