  2. Introductions

  3. Introductions around the room Who is in our audience today?

  4. Epa resources for program development

  5. Using the gap guidance: Select indicators from the Guidebook

  6. Using the gap guidance: Appendix IV Epa water program reference table

  7. Common indicators in GAP Workplans

  8. Example 1:understand the clean water act • D.3.2 -- Staff has completed training and acquired baseline knowledge and skills related to the CWA and SDWA

  9. Example 2:Develop quality assurance project plans • D.3.11 - Tribe has developed quality assurance project plan (QAPP) associated with the water quality monitoring strategy. Water Sampling on the Colorado River EPA Clean Water Act Workshop - May 2017

  10. Example 3:applying for treatment IN A SIMILAR MANNER as a state (TAS) • D.3.27 - Tribe has developed and submitted a TAS package for EPA-approved WQS program.

  12. Creating a General Assistance Water Program Christopher Ott, P.E. Environmental Director Dry Creek Rancheria

  13. Establish Your Big Picture • What is the problem you want to address? • What do you want to do about it? • Who can help you? • Asset mapping (this is most important piece) • Use what you are already doing in a coordinated manner towards your Big Picture • Document Success!

  14. Know the Difference Program Approach Project Approach Definition of a program • A critically important first step toward the programmatic approach is to clearly define what constitutes a program. A “programmatic approach” can be interpreted differently across different contexts. • A program could be defined as a set of interlinked individual sub-projects or phases, unified by an overarching vision, common objectives and contribution to strategic goals, which will deliver sustained results. •  The strategic goals of a program may be oriented around a particular theme or geography, though these approaches are not mutually exclusive. • For instance, a program may be developed to address specific forestry and land use needs. Individual sub-projects would build around that vision, which have clear ties to the overall program. • Defining principles are as follows: • (a) Common and specific objective. • (b) Coherence among sub-projects or phases. • (c) Value of a program versus a project (or series of projects). Definition of a Project • A programmatic approach may not be appropriate for all. • A Project is an individual or collaborative enterprise that is carefully planned and designed to achieve a particular aim. • Some projects may instead be better designed as standalone projects and presented as individual funding proposals. • “One-Off”

  15. Tribal Environmental Plans (TEPs). A Tribal Environmental Plan (TEP) is a comprehensive document that identifies issues a Tribe is facing, what steps may be taken to resolve those issues, and prioritizes those issues for action.

  16. Don’t bite more than you can chew One thing at a time; Water program is a good place to start

  17. Questions and Answers Christopher Ott, P.E. Environmental Director Dry Creek Rancheria

  18. Let’s try an example

  19. Remember - Indicators are destinations (estimated FTE & component $) (commitment end date) (component) (commitment)

  20. Let’s get up and grab some post-its ! We are going to take an indicator, break it down, and write the activities into a workplan format
