<br />, .. <br /> <br />(similar to interruptible leases with SEO), which also makes the filing less onerous <br />and contentious, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />ix) May need to develop more efficient process of appropriating new ISFs - from intent to <br />filing - including getting more local interests to the table to identify and evaluate <br />candidate streams, requesting more data collection and water availability analysis <br />from the entity recommending the stream segment for ISF protection, etc, May <br />include developing funding mechanism to support local data collection and <br />preliminary evaluation of candidate stream segments, <br /> <br />x) May need to develop and implement methodologies and procedures to set priorities to <br />identify what streams would most benefit from ISF preservation or improvement <br />based on specified Program goals and needs, which may be developed based on <br />application ofthe ISFDSS, input from local stakeholders, etc, <br /> <br />xi) May need to evaluate broader use of the ISF "toolbox" to support a larger range of <br />preservation and improvement applications including appropriating or acquiring <br />water rights that are less than the minimum identified by current methodologies but <br />still provide environmental benefits, <br /> <br />xii) May need to continue to develop methods and processes to enhance ongoing <br />partnerships with Federal agencies (e,g" providing education on how ISFs can <br />support, augment and substitute for by,pass flows; identifying how ISF can be used <br />more often to assist local water users with special use permit requirements, etc,), <br /> <br />xiii) May need to have variable methodologies for determining and/or defining ISF needs <br />with respect to water availability given the changing nature of potential ISF Program <br />applications (i,e" lower in the watershed, flatter gradients, cool and warm water <br />environments) and the ever increasing body of science, policy and engineering, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />xiv) May need to include ISF Program "injury check", as well as other environmental <br />impacts (e.g" sediment discharges, fish injury, regulation of flows, etc,) as part of <br />Construction Fund loan program evaluation (to keep CWCB from funding projects <br />that may injure is water rights), <br /> <br />xv) May need to review benefit of and need for more physical monitoring and enforcement <br />of stipulations related to protecting the CWCB' s water rights, <br /> <br />xvi) May need to create closer connection between meeting environmental and other <br />instream flow needs (e,g" recreational), <br /> <br />xvii) May need an "economic evaluation" of the ISF Program with respect to state tourism <br />locally, basin,wide and statewide, <br /> <br />xviii) May need to find more opportunities to facilitate and promote the efforts of diverse <br />water interests and stakeholders to cooperate in identifying, characterizing and <br />evaluating candidate streams for preservation and improvement <br /> <br />xix) May need to consider methods to generate funding for operating and maintaining <br />instream flow gages, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />5/13/2005 <br /> <br />2 <br />
