meeting to cover project evaluation and prioritization

Issue No. 2 - July 2, 2012

Plan Will Shape Region’s Water FutureThe Integrated Regional Water Management (IRWM) Plan will identify regional water resources challenges and opportunities and prioritize actions and projects to address them. The Westside Sacramento IRWM planning process is your chance to help shape your region’s water future! The goal is to leverage the resources of five agencies spanning the counties of Colusa, Lake, Yolo, Napa and Solano (Westside Sacramento Regional Water Management Group), and pursue state and federal funding to implement projects identified through the planning process. Residents from within the planning area are strongly encouraged to participate in developing the plan and identifying projects, and can do so by attending community meetings (in person, or watch online), reading and commenting on documents, and bringing forward concerns and suggestions.

Why the IRWM Plan is ImportantOnce completed, the IRWM Plan will be used to guide improved water management across the region and support requests for state and federal funding to implement priority projects. In fact, a current IRWM plan is required to be eligible for state grant funding (Proposition 84 and 1E) to pay for the implementation of projects, programs, and actions that improve water supply reliability and quality; improve flood management practices; and improve environmental conditions and habitat areas. www.westsideirwm.com/about.

Water supply reliability • Water conservation • Water quality improvement • Storm water management • Flood management • Invasive species abatement • Mercury contamination cleanup • Wetlands enhancements and protections • Environmental and habitat improvements and protections•

Input Needed on How Projects will be Evaluated and PrioritizedOnce project forms have been collected, they will be evaluated and prioritized for possible inclusion in the IRWM Plan. The prioritization process will include at least the following components:

Contribution to Westside IRWMP objectives• Relationship to Resource Management Strategies• Technical feasibility• Costs, financing and economic feasibility• Project status (i.e. conceptual, planning, feasibility, pre-design, environmental, final • design, permitting, or construction bidding)Level of integration potential (including multi-benefit projects)• Project sustainability• Benefits to Disadvantaged Communities• Benefits to Tribes• Environmental justice considerations• Climate change and GHG considerations•

How these, and other, factors will be considered and weighted is to be determined as part of the planning process with considerable input from stakeholders.
