The Upper Wabash River Basin Commission (UWRBC) received an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Section 205(j) grant from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) beginning January 2013. This grant was used to develop a Watershed Management Plan (WMP) for Phase II of the Wabash River watershed area.
This WMP covers three 10-digit Hydrologic Unit Codes (HUCs) in the Upper Wabash River watershed: HUCs: 0512010107 (Rock Creek subwatershed), 0512010108 (Wabash River – Griffin Ditch subwatershed), and 0512010109 (Eight Mile subwatershed) in Wells, Huntington and Allen Counties, IN.
