<br /> <br />Cooperation between the CWCB and DWR to identity roles and responsibilities with regard to Satellite <br />Gaging needs within both agencies (A gaging MOA between the agencies has been formulated and will ' <br />outline work plans and goals for each agency which will be updated on a yearly basis.) <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />o <br /> <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Identification of critical need gages that should be immediately funded as well as existing CWCB gages that <br />will require funds for continued operation and maintenance, <br /> <br />cweB Request <br /> <br />Pro' eet <br />Research and development of Dye Dilution tracer methodologies to monitor late <br />season and winter flow conditions. Other research projects such as remote sensing <br />sin web-based cameras will also be investi ated. <br />SF low flow warning system utilizing existing satellite gages, This is an on-project <br />that was initiated last year, It involves coordination with the DWR and USGS, as <br />well as IT programming to automatically alert CWCB staffwhen low flow conditions <br />exist <br />Flood hardening and flood warning systems. This past year, CWCB, DWR and <br />USGS staff began a process to rank state gages, which have an urgent need to be <br />flood hardened. Each year, gages from this list will be evaluated on an individual <br />basis and funded for flood hardening through this program. In addition, flood- <br />warning systems may be implemented as part of this effort for at-risk communities, <br />This is a . oint re uest between CWCB and DWR <br />Update approximately 5 existing USGS gages, which are of interest to the CWCB, <br />with Satellite Monitoring equipment These gages are currently being operated and <br />maintained by the USGS through their co-op programs, however the sites do not have <br />satellite telemetry capability, which would aid the CWCB floodplain, Stream and <br />Lake Protection, Compact, and DSS programs. A list of gages that are of value to <br />CWCB has alread been com iled. <br />Installation of up to four new stream flow gages - both staff gages and fully equipped <br />Satellite Monitoring Stations. These gages will be installed by the USGS or DWR <br />and will include funding for operation and maintenance for one year. CWCB will <br />attempt to bring in other stakeholders to share in the future O&M costs, Some <br />treams have already been identified and the details on location and equipment <br />e uirements will be refined in the cornin months, <br /> <br />Flood Protection. Water Project Planning and Financing. Stream and Lake Protection <br />Water Supply Protection. ConselYation Planning <br /> <br />. Development of a strategy to deal with long term Operation and Maintenance Issues including the possible <br />need for additional FTEs for the expansion of the DWR satellite monitoring system. <br /> <br />. Continued development of a CWCB gaging budget, which will be requested as part of the annual projects <br />bill process to meet CWCB's growing needs, as well as implementation ofa five-year plan to begin to <br />address the above issues and accomplish the goals. Private outside contracts will be required to accomplish <br />all of the CWCB's Gaging issues and goals. <br /> <br />This year Staff has identified the following projects, which will be funded with the proposed $295,000 <br />appropriation. This list will be refined in the next six months to further identify project specifics such as <br />location of specific gaging stations and refinement of costs associated with the projects. <br /> <br />Estimated Cost <br /> <br />$65,000 <br /> <br />$10,000 <br /> <br />$150,000 <br /> <br />$30,000 <br /> <br />$30,000 <br />
