• Definable NOWBasin
• “Project elements” that could be performed on a Basin or GSA level, depending on GSP structure/coordination within the Basin
• Definable NOWBasin / GSA
• Site-specific “project elements” that will be implemented locally
• To be further developed through implementation of Tier 1 and Tier 2 project elements

PROJECT ELEMENTTABLE
� Sample “project elements” have been grouped by tier
� Soliciting Workgroup input on which “project elements” go where
15
Tier Scale Explanation "Project Element" Examples (and Corresponding GSP Regulation) (a,b)
1 Basin
"Project elements" that will have to be
completed on a Basin level to ensure
consistent information / technologies are
being utilized between entities across the
Basin
These are largely definable NOW , and can
be included (with associated cost estimates)
in the Prop 1 grant proposal
• Develop Data Management System (§352.6) • Develop Basin-Wide Hydrogeologic Conceptual Model (§354.16) • Develop Basin-Wide Numerical Model (§354.18(e)) • Develop Basin-Wide Water Budget (§354.18) • Define Sustainability Criteria & Undesirable Results (§354.22-26) • Write GSP (§350-§358.6) Please add additional suggestions as appropriate in the space below: • • • • •
2
Basin
GSA
"Project elements" that could be performed
on a GSA or a Basin level, depending on GSP
structure & level of coordination between
intrabasin entities
These are largely definable NOW , and can
be included (with associated cost estimates)
in the Prop 1 grant proposal
• Identify Existing Data Gaps (§352.4) • Compile Data for Integration into DMS (§352.4-6) • Develop (Local) Hydrogeologic Conceptual Model (§354.16) (c)
• Develop (Local) Water Budget (§354.16) (c)
• Define Management Areas (§354.20) • Define Minimum Thresholds (§354.28) • Define Measurable Objectives (§354.30) • Develop Monitoring Network (§354.32-40) • Define Projects & Management Actions (§354.42-44) • Write GSP Chapter (for a Management Area) (§350-§358.6) Please add additional suggestions as appropriate in the space below: • • • • •

GSA
Local
Site-specific "project elements" that will
have to be implemented by local entities
within a GSA, or by the GSA itself depending
on size and governance structure
Many of these cannot be fully defined or
scoped before the completion of Tier 1 and 2
"project elements" (e.g. data gaps will need
to be identified before they can be
addressed), but the Prop 1 grant application
should include a process for defining and
prioritizing these "project elements" as they
are informed by Tier 1 and 2 efforts.
• Collect Additional Data to Fill Existing Data Gaps (§352.4) • Install/Upgrade Monitoring Network (i.e. install nested wells, sensors, meters, etc.) (§354.32-40) • Design/Build/Upgrade Project Infrastructure (e.g. water banking facilities, surface water diversions, potable reuse ASR wells, etc.) (§354.42-44) Please add additional suggestions as appropriate in the space below: • • • • •
