Step 4: Design Implementation Program and Assemble the Watershed Plan (cont.)

Establish an Implementation Schedule
The schedule component of a watershed plan involves turning goals and objectives into specific tasks. The schedule should include a timeline of when each phase of the project will be implemented and accomplished as well as the agency/organization responsible for implementing the activity. In addition, your schedule should be broken down into increments that you can reasonably track and review (such as quarters). Use your resources. Locate people who have experience implementing similar tasks while developing your schedule. Be sure to pay special attention to timing issues that need to be coordinated to keep tasks on track!
