Challenges
Agency support is highly variable
Delineation methods vary state to state
Addressing cooperators needs to preserve existing watershed boundaries
Inconsistent funding
Edge-matching
SSWD
Technical WBD Coordination - SSWD
Ensure communication between Federal, State, local
Assess progress in each state
Offer guidance on delineation method for states
Ensure compliance with the National Guidelines
Facilitate edge matching between states
Provide supplemental datasets that expedite delineations
Organize and attend workshops and training sessions

Role of channel steward still is developing• Absolute monarch (at least now)
Contact our fearless leader:• Ken Lanfear, Channel Steward
• Be nice to me! ☺
• Need broader base…
In my castle in Scotland ☺
