  2. Public Involvement for IRWMP • Public meetings at key milestones: • Objectives: February 27, 2006 • Integration: April 24, 2006 • Implementation: June 26, 2006 • Public Draft Bay Area IRWMP: October 23, 2006 • Ongoing outreach to business, environmental, and environmental justice groups • www.bayareairwmp.net

  3. Developing the Watershed Plan

  4. Developing the Watershed Plan • Plan Development Committee – open membership • 4 public workshops and discussions of: • Defining the region • Watershed Characterizations • Project Vision, Goals and Objectives • Project Inventory • Project Evaluation Framework

  5. Vision To create a blueprint to improve watershed health throughout the SF Bay Watershed, that builds upon and is complementary with past and current planning efforts

  6. Initial Watershed Selection • Draining to San Francisco Bay-Delta (RWQCB, Region 2) • Larger watersheds • Bay-wide representation • Potential for IRWMP water management strategies • Identify local sub-regional watersheds for inclusion/development

  7. Project Inventory • Approx. 650 watershed projects • Approx. 120 tier 1 (ready to proceed) projects • Good project distribution from around the Bay • Gaps remain for project information

  8. Purpose of Project Evaluation Framework • Evaluate and prioritize watershed projects for funding by the Conservancy and/or others (e.g., Prop 50, Ch. 8). • Structured according to BAWP goals and objectives • Emphasizes projects with multiple watershed benefits • Considers planning aspects

  9. Project Evaluation Framework • Project Information • Watershed Benefits • Planning Considerations

  10. Framework:Project Information Project description and type Sponsor and contact Habitat type Tier Location (watershed, county)

  11. Framework:Meeting BAWP Goals/Objectives • Projects meet BAWP watershed objectives? • 3 primary goals that objectives support: • Provide, protect, enhance habitat • Protect, improve hydrologic function and water quality • Improve quality of life through watershed protection/restoration/enhancement

  12. Framework:Planning Considerations • Projects evaluated for social, economic, and institutional conditions • Landowner support • Community support • Schedule • Sustainability • Cost feasibility • Funding sources
