Mission Statement
The mission of the AWP is: “To protect and improve the quality of water resources in the Animas River Watershed. Values inspire us to create a community-based collaborative process involving all stakeholders in which we operate by consensus, use all available data sources, and make informed decisions based on sound science.”

1) Improve all water quality segments within the watershed that do not currently meet water quality standards.
2) Improve and protect water quality on segments within the watershed that may be affected by emerging concerns.
3) Protect and restore naturally functioning floodplains within the watershed.
