Each section of the IRWMP begins with a blue callous box highlighting the Guidelines for that section. These callout boxes are intended to focus the reader's attention on the main points of each section. In this Executive Summary,blue boxes are provided to highlight the key messages presented in each section. Together,these sections establish an effective framework for ongoing water resources management in the Bay Area. This Bay Area IRWMP is dynamic,and continues to change and grow with time. The IRWMP is not intended to serve as a static plan,but as a process for ongoing regional planning. Regional goals,objectives,and priorities will evolve over time, and this Bay Area 1RWMP,similarly,will adapt to meet the changing needs of the region. The Bay Area IRWMP,and its continued evolution,are illustrative of the San Francisco Bay Area's commitment to ongoing integrated regional water resources planning. Bay Area Integrated Regional Water Management Plan ES-2 Excautint Sunman] 21 0 November 2006 A Regional Water Management Group The entities responsible for developing this Plan represent ALL areas of water resources management and all NINE counties of the San Francisco Bay Area. Developing an Integrated Regional Water Management Plan that covers all aspects of water resources management across a geographic region as large as the Bay Area poses many institutional challenges. By signing a Letter of Mutual Understandings to develop the Bay Area IRWMP,LOMU signatories, in coordination with other interested stakeholders(see Figure ES-I).have overcome these challenges and achieved their stated goals: • Facilitate regional cooperation in areas of water supply reliability,water recycling,desalination, water conservation,water quality improvements.stormwater capture and management,flood management. recreation and access, wetlands enhancement and creation,and environmental habitat protection and improvement;and • Foster coordination,collaboration and communication amongst participating agencies to achieve greater efficiencies,enhance public services and build public support for vital plans and projects. • To improve regional competitiveness for State and federal grant funding.

For purposes of this IRWMP,the Bay Area region is defined by the jurisdiction of the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board(Region 2). Although the geographic scope of this region presents inherent complexities,several features make it an appropriate area R:"r:3Ev81Fegcc2Berdwt for integrated regional water management: • Distinctive Identity.Although parts of the Bay Area differ greatly from one another,they are tied together by their connections to the Bay,their interdependent economies,their shared natural resources,and their common cultural experiences.As a result,the Bay Area is an appropriate area for integrated regional water management. • Hydrologic and Ecologic Connection. The Region 2 boundary is a physically based - watershed boundary that includes lands that drain to common receiving waters(the Bay and the Ocean). Additionally,the Bay estuary and its supporting local watersheds host a distinct Bay Area natural environment and Figure ES-2 Bay Area Region ecology that includes many important habitats for species of regional,as well as international,significance. • National and International Renown. In addition to being the 5" largest metropolitan area in the United States,The Bay Area is recognized as a global center for Bay A rea Fast Facts: innovation and technology. o includes 9 counties and 100 cities o 5th largest metropolitan area in the United States • History of Regional Planning.

Bay Area Water Supplies: High quality,reliable water supplies are a critical underpinning to the Bay Area's prosperity and continued leadership in economic development and environmental protection. Bay Area water agencies manage a diverse portfolio of water supplies to other 3% meet the needs of the region: S'+VP 13% • Local Supplies: Local groundwater and surface water Local Su supplies t51AlfGWI 3146 • Sierra Nevada Supplies: CVP Tuolumne and Mokelumne 15% River supplies • Delta Supplies: State Water Project(S WP),Central Valley Project(CVP),other delta supplies Mokelumne Tuolumne • Other: Desalination,recycled 19% 19% water,water transfers,and other supplies Figure ES-3: Bay Area Water Use by Supply Source The quality of water supplies used within the Bay Area region varies greatly by source. Mokelumne River and Tuolumne River surface water supplies are of very good quality,with low concentrations of total dissolved solids(TDS),total organic carbon(TOC), chloride,bromide,microbial contaminants, and other water quality parameters. These supplies generally do not exhibit the dramatic seasonal variability observed in Delta supplies. Delta supplies,conversely,exhibit elevated concentrations several water quality parameters including TDS,chloride,bromide,and TOC. Further,Delta supplies exhibit significant variability by location,season,and hydrologic year type. This variability can at times be so severe that some treatment plants must shut down,switch to other supplies sources,or blend with other supplies in order to address the poor water quality. TDS and hardness of groundwater supplies,similarly, vary significantly by basin. Bay Area water agencies are continually striving to address drinking water contaminants of concern(e.g.,TDS,TOC,disinfection byproducts,emerging pollutants)through source water protection and advanced treatment strategies. Supply&Demand: The Bay Area's existing annual supplies are inadequate to meet projected demands during prolonged drought periods. As the population continues to grow-the gap between available 1 supplies and customer demand will widen in the coming decades unless agencies have the 1 resources to fully implement necessary actions. Historically, conservation measures have proven to be effective at controlling Bay Area water use. As shown in Figure ES-4,overall water use has only increased I%since 1986—despite a 23%increase in population. Bay Area Integrated Regional Water lvtanagement Plan ES-5 Executive Sumrrrary 24 $ November 2006 However, Bay Area water agencies face a variety of challenges that threaten their ability to provide adequate supplies to meet the needs of their customers in the future: • Threats to Baseline Supplies.

Water infrastructure in the Bay Area is vulnerable to effects from seismic activity. levee failures,sedimentation and system security breaches. Flooding: Many creeks in the Bay Area can flood within 30 to 60 minutes of a powerful storm burst- causing million of dollars in damages and catching businesses and residents off guard. The Bay Area includes flat and highly developed valleys and bayside alluvial plains surrounded by rainfall-collecting steep terrain. This geography is conducive to sudden flooding(see Figure ES-5). Furthermore,the semi-arid climate,where the total annual rainfall is typically concentrated in a few short storms during the winter months,makes flood prediction uncertain. Bay Area Integrated Regional Water Management Plan ES-6 F.tt utiite 5u ni1Rtn7/ 25 I.,..'eTde Lnr.. Because of the topography of alluvial plains, floodwaters escaping some stream channels may flow away from the flooding stream,crossing open areas or flowing through city streets until reaching an adjacent watercourse.This type of flooding compounds and exacerbates local flooding that occurs when storm drains and small channels become blocked or surcharged during storms. The Bay Area's 14 largest local tributary watersheds encompass 2,477 square miles.Approximately 73 square miles(or 3%of the local watershed lands)are subject to flooding. Flood protection agencies are faced with several challenges in their efforts to minimize these flood risks: • Continued development in upland areas and near stream corridors • Lack of clear jurisdictional responsibility for stream maintenance in many areas • A costly and time-consuming permitting process for flood protection projects • Control of invasive species • Management of floodplains,riparian areas,and areas prone to tidal flooding in a region with very high land values and development pressures • Need for more effective coordination among jurisdictions that share watershed resources \ \ N , L I V--i.‘ tAim .

Summary 26 November 2006 Environmental Resources: Bay Area watersheds provide water supply,flood attenuation,groundwater recharge,water quality improvement,wildlife and aquatic habitats,erosion control,and recreation opportunities. Bay Area watershed habitats include rivers and streams,Montane and Valley foothill riparian areas,lakes and ponds, freshwater and tidal wetlands,and associated uplands habitats. Local watersheds and their associated habitats provide a myriad of water resource and ecological benefits to both humans and wildlife.Headwater tributaries and stream corridors provide and convey freshwater sources for humans and wildlife.Healthy floodplains detain stormflow volumes and reduce flow velocities,as well as provide diverse seasonal wetlands habitats. Wetlands vegetation protects and enhances water quality by removing toxins from influent water,and increases residence time which allows water to seep into the soil and enter underlying aquifers. t}. Bay Area watersheds are home to 105 wildlife species that have been designated by state and federal agencies as threatened or endangered. Bay Area habitats support . ~" special status species including,but not limited to: � i California red-legged frog,Giant garter snake,Chinook salmon,Coho salmon,Steelhead trout,Bald eagle, hawk,San Joaquin kit fox,California tiger salamander,Western Pond Turtle,California freshwater ';'-` shrimp,California clapper rail, Western snowy plover, California least tern,Salt-marsh common yellowthroat, Salt Marsh harvest mouse,Alameda Whipsnake and San Two-thirds of the State's salmon population Francisco Garter Snake.. pass through the Bay and Delta each year. Bay Area agencies and organizations pursue a variety of different water resources management mandates: balancing the water needs of sensitive habitats with customer water demands, restoring watershed habitats and natural hydrologic functions,taking advantage of streams as urban and suburban amenities,and ensuring that natural resources and habitats are shielded from potential adverse impacts associated with land and water management. Specific challenges include: • Environmental Water Demands. Environmental water demands encompass the demands on quantity,timing,duration and frequency of flows required by plants,wildlife and fisheries. Diversions of water from streams for other demands can limit survival rates for aquatic and riparian species. • Barriers to Recovery of Special Status Fish. Several special status fish,including steelhead, coho salmon and Chinook salmon,were historically abundant in Bay Area streams. However, land use changes,channel alterations,and the construction of dams,dikes and weirs have severely limited modern fish populations. • Control of Invasive Species. Bay Area riparian habitats are heavily impacted by invasion and spread of some non-native species of plants and animals. Invasive species can reduce soil retention,consume stream flows,reduce surface storage capacity,restrict flow capacity in creeks, and eliminate biodiversity. • Development in Flood Plains and Riparian Areas. High land values and ongoing pressure for urban expansion tends to encourage development in flood plains,riparian areas,and tidal areas. This development generally results in loss of biological resources due to habitat fragmentation. Bay Area Integrated Regional Water Management P'an ES-8 xCcrrti i1c tirrrrrrrurrt! 27 • Nave-'e Lr J73 High land costs are a disincentive to retaining riparian setbacks where natural geomorphic and ecologic processes such as flooding and minor erosion could occur without affecting structures. High land costs also limit the potential to purchase title or easements that would preserve these areas for flooding and other natural stream functions.Additionally,downstream impacts of development in middle and upper watersheds include increased stream discharge,scour and deposition,head-cutting,and downstream flooding, with resulting loss of habitat,threats to public health and safety,and increased costs of flood management. Water Quality: Protecting the health of the sensitive watershed is a significant challenge facing the Bay Area —over 160 water bodies within the region are considered to be impaired. The Regional Water Quality Control Board(RWQCB)has found that the San Francisco Bay and many of its tributaries are impaired,and is currently developing 20 TMDLs(Total Maximum Daily Loads)to address the 160+impaired water bodies included on the Clean Water Act 303(d)list for the San Francisco Bay region(Table ES-1).

The specific urban runoff BMPs and level of implementation that will be required in TMDLs will be determined through TMDL development. The scale of loading reductions anticipated suggests TMDLs will require significant increases in resources applied to urban runoff control and significant changes in scope and approach to urban runoff control programs.

Bay Area integrated Regional Water Management Plan ES-9 Execntfizve Summitry 28 November 20-36 Demographics Water resources management projects in disadvantaged and environmental justice communities can improve water quality,relieve flooding,and provide open space for local residents. With a population of 7.09 million,the San Francisco Bay metropolitan region is the second largest in California and the fifth largest in the nation.The San Francisco Bay region's population is made up of approximately 2.58 million households.The annual median household income(MHI)across census tracts in the region averages$83,400. An understanding of the location of disadvantaged and environmental justice communities can help the region to identify water resources management projects that improve water quality,open space and recreation opportunities,and flooding conditions within these neighborhoods."Disadvantaged communities"are defined by the IRWMP Grant Program Guidelines as communities with an annual MI II less than 80%of the State MHI. Environmental justice communities are defined as low-income communities and communities of color that have been disproportionately impacted by programs,policies, or activities that have resulted in adverse health or environmental impacts. Figure ES-6 shows census tracts defined as disadvantaged communities(less than 80%MHI)and census tracts with concentrations of 30%or greater minority populations(Asian,black or African American,or Hispanic origin). To begin to understand the environmental burden these communities may endure,the locations of wastewater treatment facilities and flood-prone areas are also presented in Figure ES-6. Water resources management projects in these neighborhoods should consider potential adverse impacts to these communities.

variety of strategies—above and beyond those presented in Proposition 50 Guidelines-to meet the goals and objectives of this Plan. As shown in Table ES-3,several water resources management strategies contribute to the goals of the Bay Area IRWMP.

While implementation of a single water management strategy can assist in achieving the region's water resources management goals,integrating multiple strategies may increase coordination and collaboration within a single agency and among different agencies,yielding benefits and efficiencies greater than those achieved through implementation of a single strategy alone. Specific examples of the value added by integrating water management strategies include: • Organizational Benefits.Combining water management strategies can provide significant benefits, both within an individual organization and among multiple organizations collaborating on a given project or program. Increased support can be generated as proponents of different projects and aspects of water management are galvanized to accomplish a common goal. Further, bringing together multiple organizations to implement a common project encourages a broad-based support for project implementation that is difficult to achieve at a local level.Collaboration between agencies also eliminates redundancy and allows projects to be completed more quickly and effectively. • Geographic Benefits.Multiple water management benefits can be achieved by grouping projects and programs with similar geographic and spatial considerations. Further,coordinated implementation of projects upstream and downstream within a i watershed can provide economies of scale in project planning,by reducing redundancies. This can result in reduced project costs, - _r - while building cumulative benefits into the - projects. • Synergistic Benefits.Combining water management strategies can also result in synergistic benefits(i.e.,benefits provided are greater than the sum of the parts). By Marsh restoration projects are great examples of combining multiple water management integrating multiple strategies(e.g.,water quality strategies within a single project,greater improvement, wetlands enhancement,habitat protection, benefits can be achieved,often at less water recycling and regional cooperation). expense,than by implementing individual water management strategies independently. • Financial Efficiencies.integration of water management strategies across geographies, within project implementation,and through partnerships between agencies can result in significant financial efficiencies. Multi-benefit,collaborative projects can be widely supported, far reaching,and implemented better,faster,and cheaper than could be accomplished by a single agency focused on a single area of water management. Bay Area Integrated Regional Water Management Plan Es-16 EveA utit'e Summary 35 November 2006 F Regional Priorities Bay Area IRWMP water resource management projects were evaluated based on how well they addressed regional goals,Proposition 50 preferences,Statewide Priorities and other assessment criteria. Figure ES-7 presents the general locations of the priority projects identified for the Bay Area IRWMP. It is important to note that the entities that participated in the development of this Plan are themselves committed to a host of short-term and long-term priorities that follow the mandate of their organization. These priorities presented herein represent a regional focus,and are not necessarily the same as individual agency priorities. The few projects that are physically located outside of the region's boundaries have been included within this Plan because the primary beneficiaries of these projects are located within the Bay Area.

Bay Area Integrated Regional Water Management Plan ES-97 Frerrrlire Sunrnutnn 36 The process for identifying Bay Area IRWMP priorities involved the following: 1. Screen Projects for Inclusion in the IRWMP. This process involved screening projects included within the four FADs,as well as additional projects identified during the development of this Plan,to determine which projects should be advanced to the IRWMP. Screening criteria varied by FAD, but in general projects were advanced to the Plan if they: • Involve multiple agencies • Achieve stated water management goals and objectives • Provide multiple benefits • Are ready to proceed 2. Assemble Projects into Cohorts. Projects advanced to the IRWMP were divided into two cohorts: Cohort 1 projects are scheduled to have all applicable environmental documentation and permitting complete by 2010:Cohort 2 projects will have these activities completed by 2014. 3. Establish Assessment Criteria and Evaluate Projects. The assessment criteria and project evaluation results for the Bay Area IRWMP are summarized in Table ES-4 and Table ES-5, respectively. Table ES-4: Project Assessment Methodology Category Criteria Assessment Methodology Sustainability Supply Reliability Full circle.

The Bay Area IRWMP will be implemented through continued coordination and contribution towards regional goals through(1)implementation of agencies' programs and projects implementation,(2) implementation of the 116 high priority projects identified in this Plan to the extent that resources are available;and(3)on-going review by the successor to the Bay Area Technical Coordinating Committee (TCC). The LOMU signatories are planning to adopt the Bay Area IRWMP by January I,2007. Following adoption,the Bay Area IRWMP will be implemented through execution of priority projects identified in this Plan by respective project proponents. Progress toward attaining the regional goals and objectives will be reviewed periodically.As a living document,information in the IRWMP will be updated as needed through an adaptive management framework. The steps for IRWMP implementation are described in further detail below.The level of effort in each area will depend on the amount of funding and resources available. In developing this IRWMP,the Bay Area TCC(shown in Figure ES-1)demonstrated the ability to: • work together and reach consensus on key decision points,despite the large geographic scope of the region,the diverse water resource management interests represented,and the short timeframe for plan development; • foster coordination,collaboration and communication across a diverse array of water resources management entities throughout the region; • provide a forum for involvement by resource agencies,environmental justice groups and other interested parties though targeted outreach efforts and public workshops throughout development of the Plan; • develop and promote a unifying vision that reflects the water resources needs for the Bay Area region,and guide the development of goals and objectives,integrated water management strategies,and priorities for the Bay Area region; • manage the entirety of the Plan development process including:contract compliance for the planning grant;management and oversight of a consultant team;development of a web-portal project collaboration tool;and the writing,editing,and production of the IRWMP. Based on these accomplishments,the TCC will continue to serve as the decision making body until an improved institutional structure is developed and agreed to. The approach to implementing the IRWMP after the January 1,2007 adoption includes the following: I. Continue to follow the LOMU for coordination and collaboration on implementation issues for the Bay Area IRWMP—with the routine inclusion of resource and regulatory agencies and non- governmental organizations(NGOs)in deliberations—in addition to completion of future work. 2. Reconstitute the TCC as the San Francisco Bay Area Integrated Regional Water Management Plan Coordinating Committee(CC)as early as January 2007 after the IRWMP is adopted. 3. The CC will be comprised of two or three representatives appointed by each of the service function technical coordinating committees shown in Figure ES-1. 4. Non-public agency participants in the IRWMP will serve in an advisory role to the CC. Bay Area Integrated Regional Water Management Plan ES-26 EAT(rrif PC tirmmrarrj 45 5. CC members will actively solicit input from interested stakeholders and the public. Resource and regulatory agencies,NGOs and other interested stakeholders will be invited to participate in monthly meetings with the CC. 6. The CC will define the process of implementation where coordination and collaboration are needed. including IRWMP performance tracking,monitoring and updating,and other mutually agreeable implementation activities. The CC will not be responsible for carrying out individual projects or programs in the IRWMP. 7. Each service function technical coordinating committee will update goals.objectives,and/or information on projects within its functional area as described in the IRWMP,as needed and subject to available funding. 8. The CC will, in consultation with resource and regulatory agencies and NGOs,compile the implementation priorities submitted by each functional area, develop and update overall regional implementation criteria and prioritized project lists that will be most eligible and competitive for federal and state grant funding. 9. The CC will, in consultation with resource and regulatory agencies and non-governmental organizations,periodically review the ongoing institutional structure and discuss whether improvements are needed and propose options for improvements to best serve IRWMP implementation needs effectively and meet the needs of the participating organizations. The first review will be conducted not later than March 31,2007. Potential near-and long-term institutional structure functions that will be undertaken by the existing IRWMP TCC and the formal CC entity during implementation of this Plan are described in Table ES-6.

To the extent allowable under State iRWM guidelines and criteria,a new project submitted after adoption of the Plan will be considered by the appropriate functional area(s)to evaluate whether that project should be forwarded to the IRWMP CC as a high priority project to consider when the next available funding proposal is developed. The schedule and process for each functional area may vary. Recognizing that goals,objectives,and regional priorities evolve over time,the TCC will review this IRWMP periodically,depending on changing conditions and availability of funds to update information presented in the Plan,and will make adjustments as necessary to respond to changes throughout the region. This process of continual review and update.as illustrated in figure ES-8,will optimize the effectiveness of IRWMP implementation. • Bay Area Integrated Regional Water Managemenl Plan ES-28 Esccutirt Sunman; 47 November 2006 .

This IRWMP consists of a planning study and basic data compilation that would not result in the disturbance of any environmental resource. These activities are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA)pursuant to CEQA Guidelines§15262 and §15306. As such, programmatic environmental analysis under CEQA is not required. Furthermore,implementation of each short term priority project included in the IRWMP will be the responsibility of the project proponent and any applicable project partners. If implementing a project,project proponents bear responsibility for ensuring all regulatory requirements for the project are met. Table ES-7 presents a screening level assessment of benefits and impacts that are typically associated with the various water management strategies included in this IRWMP.

Development of the Bay Area 1RWMP is founded upon the analysis of data provided in the four Functional Area Documents,which in turn were founded upon the analysis of data and information provided in local planning documents, including but not limited to: General Plans,Urban Water Management Plans, Water, Wastewater,and Recycled Water Master Plans,Flood Protection and Stormwater Plans;and Watershed Management and Restoration Plans. Based on the technical analysis completed during development of the Bay Area IRWMP, regional goals and objectives have been established and 116 near-term priority projects have been identified. As part of the Plan implementation process, additional analysis is needed to monitor progress towards achieving the stated goals and objectives of this Plan. As such,performance metrics and monitoring strategies have been identified for each of the priority projects,and functional area assessment and Plan-level assessment responsibilities have been identified(see Table ES-8). This table identifies the types of activities that will be undertaken as part of IRWMP implementation. The level of effort for each activity may vary depending on its need and upon the amount of funding and resources available.

Tasks,frequency,and responsible parties assume adequate funding and resources are available. It is important to note that this assessment is not intended to supercede project assessment and tracking efforts being conducted at the individual agency level. Several LOMU signatories have already established individual goals for various aspects of water resources management within their organization. By collecting and assessing this information at a regional scale,the IRWMP seeks to determine the contribution of!RWMP project implementation toward achievement of the overall goals of the 1RWMP, as well as the regional vision of working together to enhance sustainable water resources management to support a high quality of life in the Bay Area. It is envisioned that this IRWMP will establish a planning baseline for assessing the Bay Area's regional water resource management efforts,and that overall performance towards meeting the goals and objectives outlined in this IRWMP will be evaluated against this baseline as future work is completed, pending availability of funding and resources. Quantifiable information on project and plan performance, to the extent it exists, will be used in the evaluation. Bay Area Integrated Regional Water Management Plan ES-33 Executive',n,ntua,y 52 __ J Data Management Data generated through project implementation and data collected as part of region-wide monitoring programs will be compiled to support IRWMP assessment. As part of Bay Area IRWMP implementation,data will be collected and compiled at three levels: the project level,the functional area level,and the Plan level. At each of these levels,effective data management and dissemination is critical to successful IRWMP. • Project Level Data Management. At the Project level,project proponents will be responsible for collecting information on project implementation status,as well as evaluating project performance with respect to the specific performance measures established for their project. This information will be disseminated to the Functional Area TCC and other appropriate agencies on a quarterly basis. • Functional Area Data Management. At the Functional Area level, information from the project proponents will be compiled,along with information from other monitoring programs,to assess progress toward achieving functional area objectives. This information will be disseminated to the Bay area IRWMP CC on an annual basis to support the Plan assessment and periodic updates to information in the Plan as needed. • Plan Level Data Management. The Bay Area IRWMP CC will collect the information gathered by the Functional Area TCCs to assess IRWMP performance in contributing to regional goals, objectives,and IRWMP vision. The IRWMP CC will compile and manage this information, and will ultimately disseminate the data to the public. The data collected will be maintained in a data library that will be publicly accessible from the IRWMP web portal. While every effort will be made to ensure open,public access to data used in the Plan performance assessment,confidentiality agreements may be required to obtain a portion of the data used to support Plan assessment. In these cases,data availability will be managed in a manner consistent with the terms of the individual confidentiality agreements. The data collected during the implementation of the Bay Area IRWMP can also support several Statewide data needs. For example, DWR may use information developed through the IRWMP information updates to support updates to the California Water Plan,and the San Francisco Bay RWQCB may use the data as part of the new data standardization and data provision requirements that are being considered for 401- certification permits Data collected as part of IRWMP project implementation will be required to be comparable with applicable statewide data collection programs such as the Surface Water Ambient Monitoring Program (SWAMP)and the.Groundwater Ambient Monitoring and Assessment(GAMA)programs. Upon completion of the IRWMP performance assessment,the project-specific data collected,along with its associated quality assurance/quality control information,would be provided to the state in a format which could be easily integrated into statewide data collection and tracking programs. As appropriate,the TCC will also encourage project proponents to contribute data to the following statewide data programs: • California Environmental Resources Evaluation System(CERES),an information system developed by the California Resources Agency to facilitate access to natural resource data • California Environmental Data Exchange Network(CEDEN),a website developed by the State for coordinated data sharing Bay Area integrated Regional Water Management Plan ES-34 53 K Financing Successful implementation of this$2.1 Billion IRWMP requires ongoing financing to support operations and maintenance of projects upon implementation. By contributing to water supply reliability, improved water quality,restoration of ecosystems and other water resources management objectives,implementation of the Bay Area IRWMP will benefit a wide variety of stakeholders within the Bay Area and throughout California The 116 near-term priority projects identified in this Plan have a total capital cost of approximately $2.1 Billion. Successful IRWMP implementation will require ongoing financing to support operations and maintenance of projects upon implementation. In addition to local funds,project proponents have identified several outside funding needs from State and Federal agencies to make these projects a reality. L Statewide Priorities All of the Bay Area IRW11P near-term priorities address one or more of the Statewide Priorities. The Proposition 50 Guidelines'identify the following Statewide Priorities: • Reduce conflict between water rights users or resolve water rights disputes, including inter- regional water rights issues • Implementation of TMDLs that are established or under development • Implementation of RWQCB Watershed Management Initiatives,chapters and policies • Implementation of SWRCB's Nonpoint Source(NPS)Pollution Plan • Assist in meeting Delta Water Quality Objectives • Implementation of recommendations of the floodplain management task force,desalination task force, recycling task force,or state species recovery plan • Address environmental justice concerns • Assist in achieving one or more goals of the CALFED Bay-Delta Program All of the Bay Area IRWMP near-term priorities address one or more of Statewide priorities—and all of the Statewide Priorities are addressed by the Plan. The breadth and magnitude to which each project meets each Statewide Priority varies based on the nature of the project.

The outreach series consisted of seven local government briefings,which were specifically geared toward municipal planning and public works departments.At each meeting,a presentation was delivered which detailed the IRWMP development process,provided background on Proposition 50,and described the planning grant and implementation grant funding mechanisms.Meeting attendees received"fact sheets"summarizing completed draft IRWMP sections,and encouraging them to get involved.The presentations were followed by question and answer sessions during which attendees were encouraged to ask questions pertaining to IRWMP development,project development and submission,and ways to become more engaged and involved in the process. Stakeholder Involvement The stakeholder involvement and outreach activities conducted during the development of the Bay Area IRWMP sought to inform,educate and engage stakeholders throughout the region. Development of the Bay Area 1RWMP involved a diverse group of water supply,water quality, wastewater,stormwater,flood control,watershed,municipal,environmental,and regulatory groups whose input played a key role in defining sustainable water resources management goals and objectives and the selection of priority projects to help meet those goals and objectives. The Bay Area IRWMP stakeholders—identified through local planning efforts,development of the FADs and development of the Plan itself—include elected officials,regulatory agencies,water agencies, wastewater agencies,flood control agencies,counties,cities, land use entities,environmental groups, watershed groups,community-based groups and many more. To ensure that the Bay Area IRWMP reflects the needs and priorities of the diverse array of water management interests within the region,targeted stakeholder outreach activities were conducted throughout the Plan's development. These outreach activities sought to inform,educate,and engage constituents,stakeholders.and interested parties throughout the nine-cnnnty Bay Area. Bay Area Integrated Regional Water Management Plan ES-37 Exc.(!awe Summary 56 • Stakeholder Workshops Four stakeholder workshops were held to solicit input on the Bay Area IR WMP process: • Workshop#1 was held on February 27,2006 in San Francisco to discuss the proposed approach to development of the Bay Area IRWMP,as well as to define the region and regional planning objectives. • Workshop#2 was held on April 24,2006 in , Millbrae to discuss the proposed water - management strategies considered in the Bay J Area IRWMP,and how various management - strategies are being integrated within proposed projects and programs. • Workshop#3 was held on June 26,2006 in Oakland,and was webcast to facilitate the An Open House at Workshop#3 allowed participants involvement of those who could not attend in to review IRWMP projects and assessment results. person.The third workshop included an Open House presentation of proposed Bay Area IRWMP projects.A proposed prioritization process was demonstrated through analysis of two projects after which meeting participants were invited to review and recommend refinements to the prioritization process. • Workshop#4 was held October 23,2006 in Oakland.The topic of this last workshop was a review and discussion of the entire Public Draft Bay Area IRWMP, including the Plan implementation approach. Targeted Local Government Outreach In addition to the four stakeholder workshops,a series of seven local government outreach briefings were held.These local government briefings were intended to inform local governments about the Bay Area IRWMP,ensure local needs are addressed in the Bay Area IRWMP,and provide an opportunity for local governments to give feedback on the Bay Area IRWMP development. Bay Area Water Forum Presentations Additional updates regarding the progress of the Plan development were provided at the Bay Area Water Forum meetings,which typically occurred every 4th Monday of the month. Web Portal—www.BayAreaIRWMP.net A comprehensive website established specifically for the Bay Area IRWMP provided another forum for stakeholder identification and participation,as well as draft document review and internal communications for the project team and TCC. Draft documents,public announcements, meeting handouts,and other deliverables were posted to the web site for public review.The web site included an e-mail address(info @bayareairwmp.net)to facilitate the public's submission of comments,questions, requests for information,etc. Regional Planning Committee(RPC)Updates Bay Area IRWMP information was presented at the April 5,2006 and October 4,2006 ABAG RPC meetings.The RPC hears a broad suite of regional issues covering all planning areas,and makes recommendations on programs and activities to he undertaken by the ABAG executive board. Bay Area Integrated Regional Water Management Plan ES-38 Exec rrtia r summary 57 General Public Outreach Various means were employed to extend the scope of outreach to stakeholders, including • a comprehensive project e-mail database was developed for notification of available documents, workshops,and other announcements.A distribution list of a wide range of media outlets, including print,radio,and television,was maintained as part of this database; • five non-technical fact sheets were developed to communicate about the IRWMP process and approach. Fact sheets were posted.to the IRWMP web site and distributed at public meetings; • TCC members made presentations and distributed informational materials via established newsletters and web sites; • interested agencies and organizations were encouraged to sponsor forums to discuss the Bay Area IRWMP,distribute information,provide input,and to help build support for the Plan. Other Targeted Outreach The State Coastal Conservancy also led targeted outreach to encourage participation by resource and regulatory agencies,as well as watershed management interests and environmental and non-governmental organizations to ensure meaningful participation. During the Plan implementation phase,the IRWMP CC will continue to actively solicit input from interested stakeholders and the public. Resource and regulatory agencies,NGOs and other interested stakeholders will be invited to participate in monthly meetings with the CC. Coordination State and Federal agencies played an important role in the development of this Plan,and will continue to play a critical role as the priority projects are implemented. Several State and Federal agencies were involved in the development of this Plan, including: • Bay Area Air Quality Management District • Caltrans • CALFED • Corps of Engineers • California Dept of Fish and Game • California Dept of Water Resourccs • California Dept of Forestry and Fire Protection • Metropolitan Transportation Commission • California Dept of Health Services • National Park Service • California Farm Bureau • NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service • California Resources Agency • Regional Water Quality Control Board • California State Lands Commission • State Water Resources Control Board • California State Parks • US Fish and Wildlife Service • California State Coastal Conservancy • US EPA State and Federal agencies are intimately involved with implementation of the region's priority projects. Many proposed IRWMP protects require permits from resource and regulatory agencies.Table ES-9 describes the discretionary actions that each resource and regulatory agency might have over various Bay Area IRWMP priority projects.These discretionary actions will directly impact the region's ability to effectively manage local water resources during the Plan implementation phase.
