Technical Leaders Group Update 16 th September 2014. “You don’t need a roadmap when you lay your own road”. Healthy Rivers Policy Process. CSG Focus Statement e .g., safe to swim, take food, provide well being) Can be ‘alternative’ detail below that. CSG outcomes.
E N D
Healthy Rivers Policy Process • CSG Focus Statement • e.g., safe to swim, take food, provide well being) • Can be ‘alternative’ detail below that CSG outcomes • Assess options against Values & risk • Consensus? • Seek further scenarios? • TLG advises, using: • Guidelines e.g., NOF • Existing information • Experts input • TLG, using experts for: • Predictive modelling • Non-market valuation studies
TLG advises, using: • Guidelines (e.g., NOF) • Existing information • Experts input Setting Attribute Levels Water quality (N, P, Sed., bacteria) consistent with Desired Values • To Date: • Desired Values developed/confirmed by CSG • National Objectives Framework with attribute tables just produced • TLG presented Freshwater Management Unit options at CSG#5 • Next Steps: • Technical experts develop a Draft Waikato Objectives Framework (a ‘WOF’) • TLG presents that at CSG#7 • Subsequent work on gap-filling on an ‘as needs’ basis • TLG uses ‘WOF’ attribute levels in scenario analysis (next slide)
TLG, using experts for: • Predictive modelling • Non-market valuation studies • To Date TLG has: • Reviewed relevance of previous studies • Built understanding of studies already underway, their availability, what they might deliver for Healthy Rivers, and when • Prepared work briefs for initial technical experts’ workshops (see next slide) • Next Steps: • September – experts report to TLG identifying gaps, work-streams to fill them, costs, and timing. • October - TLG reviews reports, sets priorities on work-streams, develops work briefs, and recommends commissioning to Te RoopuHautu • TLG updates at CSG#7 Scenario Analysis – looking at future options for Limits on point and non-point losses from land Integrated assessment across Values to provide CSG with social, economic, cultural & ecological analysis
TLG, using experts for: • Predictive modelling • Non-market valuation studies • Work-streams currently underway: • Groundwater - hydrology, age, quality, and N attenuation • Extension of the economic impact scenario modelling • Social and cultural impacts of scenarios • Work-brief currently being worked on: • MataurangaMāori knowledge networks and the four contaminants Scenario Analysis – looking at future options for Limits on point and non-point losses from land Integrated assessment across Values to provide CSG with social, economic, cultural & ecological analysis
Beyond CSG 7 Scenario modelling that describes effects of (different) attribute limits on: • Values met • Mitigations required • Costs ($, where, who) • Impacts (social and cultural) Anticipate findings in the new year; then iteration
