Funding

The NPS is no longer supporting municipal incentive grants. There is an annual federal appropriations process and budgeting for the Lower Delaware. This is done through the following Non-Government Agencies (NGO’s) or Partners:

  • Delaware River Basin Commission
    A breakthrough in water resources management occurred in 1961 when President Kennedy and the governors of Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York for the first time signed concurrent compact legislation into law creating a regional body with the force of law to oversee a unified approach to managing a river system without regard to political boundaries. The members of this regional body - the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) - include the four basin state governors and the Division Engineer, North Atlantic Division, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, who serves as the federal representative.
