1. COMPLIANCE MONITORING

2. Issues Identified by Stakeholders Inconsistent reporting requirements among Districts Level of monitoring inconsistent with potential for impacts Perception that monitoring data is not being used by Districts

3. Goals Determine the optimal amount of monitoring and compliance submittals needed to ensure permitting criteria and conditions for issuance are being met Develop standardized compliance forms and submittal frequencies to be used by all Districts

4. Compliance Monitoring Categories Water Use Monitoring Water Quality Monitoring Alternative Water Supply Development Reclaimed Water Feasibility Reporting Conservation Plan Implementation Reports Wetland/Water Level Monitoring

5. Evaluation of Compliance Submittals 1.Purpose and use statement 2.Applicability 3.Frequency of submittal 4.Standardized form

6. 1. Purpose and Use What is the purpose of the data collection/monitoring? How will the data be used? Based on defined statement, group was able to propose appropriate applicability and submittal frequency. Evaluation of Compliance Submittals

7. 2. Applicability Coordination with other CUPcon groups as needed for permitting/compliance consistency Ex. Public Supply Report Applicability to be provided by Water Conservation group Development of decision trees for consistent application of monitoring requirements Ex. Wetland/water quality monitoring Evaluation of Compliance Submittals

8. 3. Frequency No reporting required Annual reporting Semi- annual reporting Quarterly reporting Monthly reporting Ex. Current Pumpage Submittal Requirement Evaluation of Compliance Submittals

9. 3. Frequency Semi-annual reporting* - For all individual permits - Monthly totals by well/pump/station *Limited areas of special concern or certain circumstances may require more frequent submittal of data. Proposed Pumpage Submittal Requirement Evaluation of Compliance Submittals

10. 4. Standardized Compliance Submittal Forms Form TypeDraft CompleteWork in Progress Water Use/Pumpage Form Flow Meter Accuracy Form Alternative Method Flow Verification Form Crop Summary Form Crop Protection Form Public Supply Report Water Level Template Water Quality Template Evaluation of Compliance Submittals

11. Accomplishments in Consistency Submittal TypeApplicability Submittal Frequency Comments Pumpage FormIndividual permits Semi- annual Monthly totals by well/pump/station Flow Meter Accuracy Form Individual permits with flow meters 7 years95% accuracy requirement Alternative Method Flow Validation Form Individual permits using alternative method 7 yearsAlternative method to be approved by District (90% accuracy requirement) Water Use Reporting

12. Accomplishments in Consistency Submittal TypeApplicability Submittal Frequency Comments Crop Protection Form Case-by-case (specific resource concerns only) Consistent with pumpage reporting Provided by permittees on request in response to dry- well complaints Crop Summary Form Case-by-case for variable crop allocations/ rotational fields (specific resource concerns only) AnnualNot used to limit allocation flexibility Water Use Reporting

13. Accomplishments in Consistency Submittal TypeApplicability Submittal Frequency Comments AWS ReportCase-by-case (permits with specific AWS goals indentified during permit review) CustomDistricts to analyze broad scale AWS applicability/feasibility in planning process or at permit review Alternative Water Supply

14. Accomplishments in Consistency Submittal TypeApplicability Submittal Frequency Comments Reclaimed Water Feasibility Report (End- User) Case-by-case (permits with specific reclaimed water goals indentified during permit review) 5 yearsNot for projects already maximizing, or with concrete plans to maximize, use of reclaimed water Reclaimed Water End-User Feasibility

15. Next Steps Obtain public feedback on draft forms Integrate recommendations from other CUPcon groups Finalize evaluation and recommendations for remaining compliance monitoring categories Water Quality Wetland/Water Level Water Conservation Plan Implementation Public Supply Report Complete remaining standardized compliance forms/templates

16. Benefits of Consistency in Compliance/Monitoring Uniform statewide monitoring requirements (format, frequency, applicability) Eliminate unnecessary or excessive monitoring Improved level of certainty for permittees regarding their compliance/monitoring responsibilities Improved ability for Districts to share compliance and monitoring data
