1 May 7, 2006 - 1 - …for healthy Water Quality, Quantity, and Aquatic Habitat Presenter: Dianne Denson Alaska Dept. of Environmental Conservation ACWA Alaska’s Clean Water Actions

2 May 7, 2006 - 2 - Priorities for healthy water Actions to make it happen  Restoration: Coordination / integration of high priority waters  Protection: actions to abate / prevent further degradation  Stewardship: land use planning, permitting, monitoring, behavior awareness, education, best mgmt practices

3 May 7, 2006 - 3 - Why does Alaska need to coordinate water info and actions?  Alaska has over 45% of nation’s surface water resources  Limited (people) resources are available to assess, manage and restore waters

4 May 7, 2006 - 4 - We need ACWA…. to develop comprehensive information about  Water Quality,  Quantity, &  Aquatic Habitat  And better understand what is needed for healthy waters

5 May 7, 2006 - 5 - What does each agency bring to ACWA? Environmental Conservation- Establish water quality standards; assess, protect and restore waters Natural Resources- Manage natural resources to positively effect water quantity, quality, and aquatic habitat, including in-stream flow Fish and Game- Manage aquatic habitat and waterway access

6 May 7, 2006 - 6 - ACWA Agencies …  Prioritize waterbodies  direct funding and actions where most needed  Coordinate State’s water resource programs  reduce redundancies & agencies’ work efforts  Identify gaps - strive to eliminate them  Organize how we apply existing programs and regulatory authority…not create new ones

7 May 7, 2006 - 7 - How does ACWA work? 1. Waters are nominated, scored, and ranked (prioritized) 2. Actions are identified for high priority waters 3. ACWA agencies ID all funding sources 4. Agencies issue a grant solicitation 5. Grant proposals scored & ranked 5. Grant proposals scored & ranked 6. Successful "projects" are funded

8 May 7, 2006 - 8 - ACWA Online Web Application  Tool to enable the ACWA process  Enable easier sharing of data and information Allows Agency personnel to Allows Agency personnel to − Provide input on waterbodies − See other agency information − View/print reports from central location  Replaces manual system using email/Excel  Enables Agencies to TRACK priority waters

9 May 7, 2006 - 9 - ACWA Online Web Application Overview ANALYZE NOMINATION Info SCORE Waters for Sufficient & Credible Data RANK Waters (Prioritize) IDENTIFY ACTIONS for Priority Waters NOMINATE a Waterbody Reps from each Agency Are STEWARDSHIP PROGRAMS Adequate? Did ACTIONS produce DESIRED RESULTS ? Are RECOVERY ACTIONS Required ?

10 May 7, 2006 - 10 - ACWA Online Web Application Overview (continued)  Secure Login - Public or Agency? Public  display your Nominations Public  display your Nominations Agency  display ALL Nominations Agency  display ALL Nominations  Nominate Waterbody Waterbody description Waterbody description Issues & Concerns – Quality, Quantity, Habitat Issues & Concerns – Quality, Quantity, Habitat Uses & Sources Uses & Sources Supporting Documentation Supporting Documentation
