  1. What, Why, How? -WHAT IS A PROJECT ASSESSMENT & EVALUATION PLAN? -WHY ARE WE ASKING GRANTEES TO ASSESS, EVALUATE, & REPORT PERFORMANCE & WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?-HOW DO WE MAKE IT MEANINGFUL & PAINLESS FOR GRANTEES?

  2. What is a Project Assessment and Evaluation Plan (PAEP)? • Documents the grantee’s intended actions toward goals • A roadmap and tracking device to achieve results • Summarizes information that will be collected during project

  3. PLAN ELEMENTS & FORMAT Project Summary A. Funding Program B. Project Description C. Problem Statement D. Project Activities or Tasks E. Category of Project Activities or Tasks Project Goals & Desired Outcomes Performance MeasureTable

  4. PLAN ELEMENTS & FORMAT • Performance Measure Tables

  5. PROJECT ACTIVITY CATEGORIES • PLANNING, RESEARCH, AND ASSESSMENT • EDUCATION, OUTREACH, AND CAPACITY-BUILDING • HABITAT RESTORATION

  6. Project Activity Categories • Pollutant Load Reduction • Water Conservation, Reliability Enhancement, and Recycling • Flood Attenuation and Floodplain Protection

  7. PAEP, Monitoring Plan, and QAPP – How do they differ? Project Assessment & Evaluation Plan Monitoring Plan QAPP

  8. The PAEP contains ALL performance measures • Number of Activities & interim products (outputs) • Change in social & behavioral conditions as a result of your activities (outcomes) • Change in environmental conditions as a result of your activities (outcomes)

  9. Monitoring Plans • Describe WHAT you intend to measure • Describe HOW you intend to measure environmental outcome indicators – number and location of sampling sites, proposed approaches and methods • Describe WHO is involved; roles and responsibilities

  10. Quality Assurance Project Plan • Outlines Data Quality Objectives • Describes staff roles & responsibilities in field, office, & laboratory quality control • Describes procedures to control & quantify sampling, analysis, mapping, & reporting errors • Describes HOW you intend to analyze & report information

  11. SOME AWESOME STATISTICS • $1.3 BILLION IN GRANT FUNDS ADMINISTERED BY WATER BOARDS SINCE PASSAGE OF PROPS 13, 40, AND 50 • $80 MILLION YET TO GO

  12. PAEP Benefits • Allows grant recipients to think of appropriate data and indicators • Provides a basic level of consistency and predictability in reporting format • Provides a tool for any necessary course corrections within the budget constraints • Can provide the outline for final report & identify content for quarterly progress reports

  13. PAEPs Can Answer Questions: ? • How many projects and $$ have been awarded in my Senate/Assembly District? • Have ecosystem health and water quality improved as a result of the $$ awarded? • Which watersheds in my bioregion are in poor, fair, good, and excellent condition? • Which stressors on the ecosystem are the most important ones in my watershed? ? ?

  14. PAEPs as Communication and Accountability Tool (SB 1070) • Provide data to the public (via the internet) that shows how bond money is being used • Develop monitoring & assessment information to report on environmental changes & Conditions over time
