This workshop will show how IMPLAN, an impact modeling tool, has been and continues to be used to conduct economic impact analysis on Great Lakes Restoration Initiative funds distributed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service in targeted Great Lakes watersheds. The presentation will also highlight ways to use IMPLAN results to show multiplier effects and jobs supported by these expenditures in the Great Lakes watershed basin.

Using IMPLAN for Conservation Economic Impacts

- 13. GLRI Allocation of $31,709,292 in this analysis
Editor's Notes
- State and County codes Practices IMPLAN sectors Program Dollar Sums by Practice Program by IMPLAN Sector
- on each State, Watershed, Congressional District, etc. in GLRI
- This graphic illustrates the flow of NRCS funds to various areas. These are the activities that this analysis modeled. IMPLAN models economic impacts by allocating funds into different sectors of the economy. For example, FA funds for structural practices such as grade stabilization or composters go to construction sectors. FA funds for management practices such as nutrient management or brush management go to agricultural and forestry support sectors.
- This flow chart illustrates the basic flow of NRCS financial assistance cost-share funds in a local economy, such as a parish or conservation district. This is the type of activity that this analysis is trying to quantify in dollar terms. The arrow at bottom left indicates that dollars spent in an area quite often make their way outside of that area…sometimes referred to as leakage.
- The FA analyzed was money that was actually paid to program participants during calendar year 2010. Included in the analysis FA paid out during FY10 from EQIP, WHIP, CSP, CStP, WRP, GLRI, ARRA, and GRP The analysis also included TA funds expended in fiscal year 2010. Each major category of NRCS TA, such as Travel and Transportation, had to be separated out and matched with the appropriate industry sectors in order to model its impact on the states economy.
