  1. BAIRWMPBay Area Integrated Regional Water Management Planhttp://bairwmp.org/ • Background/History • Prop 50 2002-2006 - Prop 84 changes (2006) • Bay area actions • Plan Update and Projects • Opportunities/ challenges

  2. Background/History • Prop 50 -2006 BAIRWMP -Prop 50 Implementation grant -Plan development and Functional Areas • Prop 84 - Regional Acceptance Process - Sub-regions and target allocations - Project prioritization • Prop 84 Implementation Grants

  3. Integrated RegionalWater Management Planning http://www.water.ca.gov/irwm/ • Required By State for certain funding under Prop 50-passed in 2002– $3.4 billion Total -$ 500 million for IRWM • Required Plan or “functional equivalent” to be adopted in order to receive Implementation funds

  4. 2006 BAIRWMP • Regional Group • Region Description • Objectives • Water Management Strategies • Integration • Regional Priorities • Implementation • Impacts and Benefits • Technical Analysis & Plan Performance • Data Management • Financing • Statewide Priorities • Relation to Local Planning • Stakeholder Involvement • Coordination

  5. Prop 50 Grant • Grant received-Prop 50 Round 1- 2005/6 $12.5 million - 10% minimum match Conservation and Recycling projects • Prop 50 round 2- 2007 -Policy decision-focus on storm water/ floodplains/ watersheds -Step 1Proposal evaluated based on BAIRWMP -Not invited to step 2 • Supplemental Prop 50 -2010 • Max. $3.7 m –Not invited to step 2

  6. Bay Area IRWMPRegional Function/ REGIONAL ENTITIES Water Supply and Water Quality *Bay Area Water Agencies Coalition- BAWAC Wastewater and Recycled Water *Bay Area Clean Water Agencies- BACWA http://www.bacwa.org/ Flood Protection and Stormwater Management Bay Area Flood Protection Agencies Association BAFPAA Watershed Management/Habitat Protection and Restoration Bay Area Watershed Network BAWN

  7. Bay Area IRWMP CC

  8. BAWAC • Outgrowth of Water Recycling program • Created to respond to IRWM concept • Includes all major water agencies in 9 counties • Emphasis on Conservation • New technologies • Refining existing programs • Evaluating regional opportunities

  9. BACWA • Existed since 1984 Joint Powers Agreement • All major Publicly Owned Treatment Works in all 9 counties • Emphasis on Water Recycling • Lead for $12.5 million IRWM state grant

  10. BAFPAA • Concept developed in 2006 in response to IRWM. • Represents the 9 Bay Area counties and communities in regional and statewide issues in the area of flood protection • Approval of the Rules of Governance by the counties or agencies occurred from 2006-2009. • Collaboration on: • IRWMP, • USACE Levee Vegetation Policy

  11. BAWN • Concept developed in 2006 • Hosted by RWQCB/ SFEP • Next Annual meeting- February 10,2012 • Workgroups established: • Policy • Outreach and Education • Monitoring and Assessment • Water and Land Use • IRWMP Coordination

  12. Watershed Management/Habitat Protectionand Restoration (Watershed) Component • November 2006-Functional Area Component • State Coastal Conservancy • Excellent summary of watersheds and needs • Can be found on www.bairmp.org website

  13. BAFPAA/BAWN Joint Conference • June 16,2011- Flood Protection – Watershed Restoration Joint Workshop • Over 100 people attended • Emphasis on Integration • Focus on “sub regions”

  14. Prop 84 • Changes • Regional Acceptance Process • Sub regions/ allocations • Project prioritization • Prop 84 PSP and Grant requirements -One applicant & Scoring Process -Cost /Benefit • Bay Area Implementation Grant • 1-E funding

  15. Prop 84 Nov. 2006- $5.4 billion total -allocated funds by “Region” -added “Climate Change” to plan -added “ Relation to local land use” to plan Total ~ $1 billion for implementing IRWMPs 25% match

  16. Prop 84 $1 Billion for IRWM $900M Allocated to 11 Funding Areas $100M Interregional Prop 1E $300M for Storm Water Flood Management Requires consistency with IRWM Plan $ in millions

  17. Region Acceptance Process • Required under Prop 84 • 2009 Process • Important Themes for Bay Area - Consensus Approach - Developing sub-regions - Ability to rank projects - Developing “Regional” projects

  18. RegionAcceptanceProcess

  19. DWR decisions in September 2009 RAP Summary  46 Regions submitted  Approved – 34 Regions  Conditional Approval – 11  Not Approved – 1 Region Final-all approved-10 conditionally 3 address entire funding area

  20. Regional Acceptance Process • IRWM Regions • 36 Approved Regions • 10 Conditionally Approved Regions

  21. Sub-regions were created to • foster outreach, • coordination, • project solicitation, and • project integration

  22. Bay Area Sub Regions

  23. Decision-Subareas and Funding *Target Allocations (After Regional project allocation)- ½-No. of sub regions, ¼ pop. ¼ area -N bay- 25% -E bay-29 % -S bay-25% -W bay-22%

  24. Project Prioritization • 2006 plan used “cohorts” -Evaluated but did not rank projects -Evaluation can be converted to a score and ranking

  25. Project Evaluation

  26. Prop 84 PSP and Grant requirements *One applicant *Scoring process * Cost/Benefit

  27. GUIDELINES August 2010 The IRWM Grant Program is designed to encourage integrated regional strategies for management of water resources and to provide funding for both planning and implementation projects that support integrated water management • http://www.water.ca.gov/irwm/docs/Guidelines/Prop84/GL_Final_07_20_10.pdf

  28. IRWM Program Objectives Direct Objectives Improve water supply reliability Protect & improve water quality Ensure sustainability through environmental stewardship Higher-Level Objectives Promote regional planning Financial incentive to promote integration and regional cooperation and collaboration
