  1. Placer County Water AgencyMiddle Fork American River ProjectApproach for Developing New License Conditions Terrestrial Technical Working Group February 17, 2009

  2. Overall Approach for DevelopingNew License Conditions • Identify, Organize, and Schedule Discussion Topics Based on Potential New License Conditions • Prioritize Discussions to Address Issues under FERC Jurisdiction, Followed by Other Issues • Considers Agreements “Tentative” Until All Issues have been Discussed • File a License Application that Includes Stakeholder-approved License Articles

  3. Collaboration Topic Schedule

  4. Development of New License Conditions Examples • Vegetation and IntegratedPest Management Plan

  5. Technical Study Plans • Potential Resource Issues Vegetation and Integrated Pest Management Plan – Process Technical Study Reports • Describe Resource Status • Develop & Apply analytical Tools Refine Resource Issues Identify PotentialPM&E Measures Describe Resulting Effects Across Resource Issues Balance AcrossResource Issues Refine PotentialPM&E Measures Reach TentativeAgreement onNew License Condition

  9. Vegetation and Integrated Pest Management Plan Identify Potential PM&E Measures • Best Management Practices (BMPs) for Herbicide and Rodenticide Use • Buffer Areas Around Special-Status Plants • Buffer Areas or Limited Operating Period (LOP) for Active Nests and Dens • Measures to Prevent the Spread or Introduction of Noxious Weeds

  10. Vegetation and Integrated Pest Management Plan Identify Potential PM&E Measures • Methods for Revegetation and Erosion Control for Disturbed Areas • Education Programs on Special-Status Resources • Resource Monitoring and Reporting
