Pennsylvania Coastal Zone Management Program Tidal Delaware Water Trail Project September 2007 CZM PROJECT NUMBER: 2005-PD-14 This project was financed, in part, through a Federal Coastal Zone Management Grant, administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). Funding provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), United States Department of Commerce, under Award Number: NA05NOS4191089 The views expressed herein are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect those of the U.S. Department of Commerce, NOAA, the PA DEP nor any of their sub-agencies. From: Spencer Finch, Director of Sustainable Development, Pennsylvania Environmental Council Sent: January 22, 2007 To: Jeff Dewey and Andrew Zemba, Grant Managers, PADEP CZM Office Subject: Final Performance Report (10-01-2006 to 09-30-2007) Tidal Delaware Water Trail Project Project Number 2005-PD.14 Dear Grantor: The Tidal Delaware Water Trail Project is nearly complete. Despite the initial delays in starting the projects (and the extension of the project deadline from March 2007 to September 2007), all the consultant selection, field work, data collection, stakeholder engagement, and map graphic design tasks have been completed, as are public outreach and stewardship tasks. The draft print-out of the map has been sent to stakeholder groups, and the beta website for the Tidal Delaware Water Trail is now online (check out www.tidaltrail.org). Two tasks remain for completion of the original scope of the grant: the actual printing of the Water Trail maps; and the public launch of the map and website. Because of the PA Fish and Boat Commission (PA F&BC) printing schedule, the printing job could not be accommodated until early Spring 2008. Once the PA F&BC prints the map, however, the Pennsylvania Environmental Council will immediately schedule and stage the public launch for the map and the website. Funding from the PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources remains available for this task; and PEC anticipates possibly gathering additional sponsorship and additional partners to make the launch event a success. Upon completion of these tasks, PEC will submit an addendum to this final report to provide a record of completion of the launch tasks to the PADEP-CZM.

Ultimately, have useful and used Delaware River Water Trail! (We are well on the way) Stakeholder review of the draft water trail maps was initiated in September. Based on comments received to date, PEC does not anticipate significant revisions to the maps as we move towards finalization. PEC established a water trail agreement with the PA F&B in the spring of 2007, under which PA F&B agreed to print the water trail maps. The package content, time of year of submission, and PA F&B priorities and workload at the time will determine production schedule. We are requesting an early 2008 printing, in timing with our goal of a map and web site water trail launch in the Spring of 2008. As previously mentioned, once the PA F&BC prints the map, the Pennsylvania Environmental Council will immediately schedule and stage the public launch for the map and the website. Upon completion of these tasks, PEC will submit an addendum to this final report to provide a record of completion of the launch tasks to the PADEPCZM. Please let us know if you need any additional information regarding this project, or if you have any questions related to information above We thank you again for the continued PADEP-CZM support of efforts to revitalize the Tidal Delaware Basin, and look forward to continue to support PADEP priorities in the future.
