Protect at least 2,000 linear miles of watercourses by installing buffer practices;
Reduce by 15 percent the amount of sediment, nutrients and agricultural chemicals entering watercourses within the targeted watersheds;
Enroll 30 percent of farmed riparian acreage in the watersheds in accordance with statutory and regulatory rules;
