3. IMPLEMENTATION OF PROJECTS ACCEPTED BY THE GC AFTER FEASIBILITY STUDIES
a. The Governance Committee must approve funding for the project for the project to be
implemented.
b. The project may be implemented by the Governance Committee, by one or more states, or
by another project sponsor or sponsors, in accordance with the plan and schedule included
in the feasibility study and approved by the Governance Committee. If the project sponsor
oversees implementation, the project sponsor will coordinate with a designated
representative of the Governance Committee who would receive advice from the Water
Committee.
c. Implementation tasks, which will be subject to Governance Committee oversight and
approval as appropriate, may include: (1) complying with state and federal laws and
regulations; (2) hiring contractors; (3) completing final project design; and (4) building and
operating the project. The executive director, a contractor, a state or a project sponsor as
appropriate may implement some or all of these tasks.
d. The executive director, contractor, state or project sponsor will provide appropriate
information to the Governance Committee to ensure that the project is operating according
to design and to determine if its performance can be improved to increase water yield, cut
costs, or achieve other benefits. If the Governance Committee considers proposals to
increase yield or performance of a project not operated by the executive director, another
program contractor, or a state, discussions will include the project sponsor. Such changes
shall not be implemented without the agreement of the project sponsor. If unanticipated
changes occur during implementation, the issues shall be brought to the Governance
Committee for resolution.
e. After implementation, monitoring and research will occur as directed by the Governance
Committee in accordance with the Program's Integrated Monitoring and Research Plan.
Monitoring shall also occur as needed to evaluate direct and third party impacts and any
mitigation process instituted.
f. Tracking and accounting will be accomplished per Program procedures.
