are, under certain site conditions, being replaced with bank-operated cableways. Costs of installing bank- <br /> operated cableways range from $6000 to $9000 per site. As current funding allows, we have been <br /> addressing some of these needs. <br /> • FY2012-13 Accomplishments <br /> The CWCB provided $300,000 in FY2012-13 for satellite telemetry equipment upgrade and replacement and <br /> stream gage refurbishment. An additional $12,826 in CWCB carryover funds was available from the <br /> previous fiscal year for a total FY2012-13 project budget of$312,826. In total, DWR expended and <br /> committed a total of$311,015, 99.5% of project funding. <br /> Satellite Telemetry Upgrade Program. Of the $245,000 allocated, $245,123 were expended on the <br /> procurement and installation of new generation, high data rate, satellite-linked monitoring equipment and <br /> associated components. High data rate DCP upgrades have now been completed at all DWR gage <br /> stations. However, as discussed earlier, the normal wear, tear and software life cycle anticipates replacing <br /> all equipment every ten years, regardless of other system changes. <br /> Streamgage Refurbishment. An allocation of$55,000 along with carryover funds from the previous fiscal <br /> year in the amount of$12,826 were used to refurbish existing stream gages throughout the State. <br /> Refurbishment projects and miscellaneous expenditures totaling $27,891 were completed at the stream <br /> gages listed in Table 1. An additional $38,000 committed toward the construction of four new gages to help <br /> manage flow alert systems in the West Fork Complex wild fire area were not expended in time to actually be <br /> included in FY2012-13, but will be included in the first quarter report for FY2013-14. <br /> • <br /> 410 <br />
