Such a process will require regular <br />meetings to enable the CWCB and other entities to be informed, especially in instances when the USGS, DWR, <br />and/or other entities can no longer fund a gage that may be important to one of the CWCB program areas. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Development of a comprehensive list of streams that the CWCB has identified for gaging, and coordination with <br />other entities for usage and cost sharing pttrposes. <br /> <br />Development of a 5-year gaging plan for CWCB in cooperation with the DWR to identify roles and responsibilities <br />with regard to Satellite Gaging needs within both agencies. <br /> <br />Identification of critical need gages that should be immediately fttnded as well as existing CWCB gages that will <br />require funds for continued operation and maintenance. <br /> <br />(Discuss Operation and Maintenance Issue) <br /> <br />Development of a CWCB gaging budget which will be requested as part of the annual projects bill process to meet <br />CWCB's growing needs, as well as a five-year plan to begin to address the above issues and accomplish the goals. It <br />is anticipated that private outside contracts will be required to accomplish all of the CWCB' s Gaging issues and <br />goals. <br /> <br />CWCB Request <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />This year Staff has identified the following projects, which will be funded with the proposed $194,000 <br />appropriation. It is important to note that this list will be refined in the next six months to identify costs associated with <br />known gaging installations and equipment needs, as well as costs, and locations for gages yet to be identified. In <br />addition, other miscellaneotts equipment will be identified as it relates to the gaging program such as survey equipment, <br />other field equipment, computer resources and software. <br /> <br /> Proiect Estimated Cost <br />Iffi~:leHleRtatieH af aft iRstream t:lew pile! gaging 13fojeet ';:ita D''vR aHa Di\'isieR :, HtiliziRg <br />GI8 maJ3l3iag; DoSS aaHHn.istratieR t88ls slleR as the ColeraElo '."ater Rights ."&smiBistratiofl $29,900 <br />Toel (C'l.'R.^&T); mer.giag aft updates iRstFeam flEr.\' dataBase iats D",I,'R's Hyarehase <br />iaKlfFRatieB Hlaaagemeat system; aRa I:ltiIiziRg staff reS8HFeeS aRe expertise [rem 88th <br />ageRsies.
