Stakeholder Engagement • Two public workshops • Monthly CC meetings • Review of draft BAIRWMP chapters • PUT review • Targeted stakeholder review • Public review • DAC identification and project submittal assistance • Notifications to master stakeholder list (~ 2,000 contacts) • Updates provided on BAIRWMP website

  10. Plan Implementation • CC will continue to meet on regular basis to: • Review IRWM Plan with DWR to ensure standards are met • Receive updates on regional efforts relevant to IRWM Plan implementation • Oversee the evaluation and prioritization of projects for future grant rounds • Communicate on behalf of the Coordinating Committee to others • Oversee Website Development and Data Management

  11. Implementation Grants • Prop 50 Round 1 – $12.5 million to water agencies for conservation, water recycling, BACWA outreach on bay pollution • Prop 84 Round 1 – $30 million to 30 recipients including water agencies, NGOs, local governments • Prop 84 Round 2 – $20 million to 19 recipients including water agencies, NGOs, local governments • Prop 84 Round 3 – DWR expected to release PSP guidelines in 2014; Bay Area allocation is anticipated to be $70 million (?).

  12. How Success Will Be Measured • CC will review multiple sources of information to assess: • Projects funded by IRWM implementation grants are required to report progress at meeting objectives as a condition of receiving IRWM grant funding • Regional information that may be assembledby the four Functional Areas • Existing regional monitoring data gathering and analysis from other programs • Periodic regional assessments, including the State of the Bay report card and associated analysis published by the S.F. Estuary Partnership • Data or analysis from State, federal and local agencies.

  13. Resource Commitment • No financial commitment required to adopt IRWMP • To help establish the Plan and implement tasks the four Functional Areas involved with the Plan contribute funding and resources • Similar arrangements in future may be needed to add or evaluate new projects, prepare submittals to DWR, maintain the website and data management, and similar tasks • Participation in Functional Areas is voluntary

  14. Resource Commitment (cont.) • Staff from participating entities contribute time and effort to assist with Plan implementation • Proponents of projects interested in being added to the Plan are responsible for developing and implementing their projects, including monitoring • If grant requests are not fulfilled, Proponents need to decide whether to go forward • Whether any assistance is available to help develop and implement DAC projects will be investigated and discussed, but is not a guaranteed outcome of the Plan
