Presentation Outline Where we were – Day 1 Addressing the challenges Using the 4 ‘C’s What we have achieved Where we go from here

California’s Central Valley

Opportunities for Compromise Formation of Coalition Groups Coalition Monitoring (phased) -- Phase I: Toxicity, Field Parameters, Flow -- Phase II: Pesticides, Metals, Nutrients Water Board Monitoring through UC –No phasing – comprehensive approach

Staff Leads for Coalition Management Outreach Meetings Website and notices Stakeholder Groups SWAMP Comparability Approach for Communications

Interest Group Agency Name Coalitions Southern San Joaquin Valley Water Quality Sacramento Valley Water Quality Westside Water Quality San Joaquin County & Delta Water Quality East San Joaquin Water Quality California Rice Commission Irrigation Districts Modesto ID Merced ID Turlock ID South San Joaquin ID Active Stakeholders

Food and Agriculture Other Active Stakeholders Ag Commissioners State Pesticide Regulators USEPAAcademia Analytical Laboratories Consulting Firms Environmental Interests

Identify all monitoring activities Synchronize sampling schedules Strategize on monitoring sites Encourage SWAMP Comparability Approach for Coordination

Region 5 Zones 1234 # Monitoring Sites Coalition Sites Other sites Total No. Sites # Samples Collected Discharger Sites Other samples Total No. Samples No. of Tests Performed Data, data, data…..

Provides common ground Baseline information (status) Identifies data gaps Identifies water quality problems Guides Program revisions Monitoring Data Value

Start with common ground Identify issues Developed strategy Utilize impartial review Approach for Collaboration

Coalitions still need to comply Program objectives Categories for Monitoring: field measures, chemistry, flow, toxicity Exceedance response SWAMP QAPP What is the same…

Objectives as 5 Program Questions Monitoring framework Requires electronic data submittal Clarified actions for exceedances Reduction of reporting & paperwork Monitoring Design Guidance What is different….

Five Program Questions 1.Is the water quality protective of beneficial uses? 2. If not, how bad is the problem? 3. What is causing the problem? 4.What are the management practices used to fix the problem? 5. Is the problem getting better as a result?

Monitoring Framework 1.Assessment Monitoring (status) 2.Core Monitoring (trends) 3.Special Project (resolve problems) What is Different …..

Current Actions…

Upcoming Challenges... Build efficiency in Coalition work Maximize MP implementation Develop links with new partners Expand SWAMP electronic submittals Coordinate monitoring Track Program effectiveness
