  1. Crediting the Maintenance of Healthy Watersheds A STAC Workshop Proposal from the Maintain Healthy Watersheds GIT Mark Bryer, TNC, GIT Chair Mike Fritz, EPA, GIT Coordinator Anna Stuart Burnett, CRC, GIT Staffer

  2. In March GIT 4 Asked STAC to: • Engage in scoping • Consider a path forward at the June STAC meeting • Reserve funding

  3. May 31st STAC Scoping Workshop Output • Concept 1: A BMP Conservation Premium • Question for STAC: Is there a scientific basis for recognizing a higher efficiency rating for some BMPs based on the assurance that they will remain in place in perpetuity? Or must additional factors beyond protection in perpetuity be coupled with the BMP, such as the BMP’s landscape position?

  4. STAC Scoping Workshop Output • Concept 2: New Math for Risk Reduction at the Landscape Scale • Question for STAC: Is there an alternative way of addressing future growth scenarios that provides for recognition of, among other strategies, the load-limiting function of resource land preservation?

  5. STAC Scoping Workshop Output • Concept 3: Watershed-scale Practices • Question for STAC: Can landscape/ watershed-scale functions, critical land use thresholds, and land use planning practices (including resource land preservation) be identified for use in the existing Bay TMDL accounting framework?

  6. “The Ask” • We have highlighted three opportunities • Help us refine these opportunities into a question for a STAC workshop this fall • Work with us over the summer • Assign a STAC member to work with us • Greg Garman, others
