Is tbis because we expect the carry- <br />Corward to exceed the $75,000 limit identified by AMWG? <br />BOR's Yes, at the present rate of expenditures we anticipate the Public Outreach group, <br />Response to which has been allocated $130,000 thus far, will have in excess of $75,000 available <br />Comment at the end of the fiscal year, <br />#11 <br />12 Lines 37-52 (Tribal Consultation)-What additional inCormation is available on <br />(BAHG) purpose and products for tribal fundin!! as requested by TWG? <br />BOR's The Reimbursable Service Agreement from the Department of the Interior identifies <br />Response to four areas of endeavor for the tribes to undertake for this funding under the <br />Comment GCDAMP: (I) evaluation of resource management issues, (2) tribal monitoring of <br />#12 canyon resources, (3) attendance at meetings, and (4) govemment-to-govemment <br />consultation, <br /> Line 62 (Integrated downstream water quality monitoring) - The workplan <br /> (page 64) discusses fine sediment mass balance. This discussion specifically <br />13 relates to mass Ilalance within Marble and Grand canyons. Discussions with <br />(Norm GCMRC have revealed that Glen Canyon may not be the sacrifice zone <br />Henderson) originally assumed regarding sediment storage and may actually respond as the <br /> ROD model had predicted. As I understand it GCMRC will begin studying <br /> mass balance within the Glen Canyon reach in more detail in coming years. <br /> This Cact shonld be reflected in the workplan Cor 2006. <br /> This additional activity is partly referred to in the description of "lesser tributary" <br /> monitoring (Water Holes Canyon), Additional efforts to capture suspended- <br /> sediment data at the Lees Ferry gage on an event basis will be included in the draft <br />GCMRC's revision for the FY 2006 plan, Additional main channel sampling of suspended- <br />Rcsponse to sediment transport at the Lees Ferry gage site will come at additional cost to the <br />Downstream Quality-of-Water project, but it is currently hoped that these activities <br />Comment can be covcred within the currently proposed FY 2006 budget amount, owing to the <br />#13 use of automated pumping sampler technology that can now be controlled by two- <br /> way, satellite telemetry system that has been innovated by the GCMRC's Physical <br /> Science program, This is potentially one example of our ability to do more with less <br /> in the mass balance of sand effort, owing to technological innovation, <br /> A.2/A.3 <br /> Part A - Crosswalk to Core Monitoring does not work. Maybe due to <br /> misunderstanding Crom use oC different names. A green CM project, <br />14 Streamflow and SS Transport is sbown as unCunded. <br />(WAPA) Part B - It would help to use the same terms/names Cor monitoring components <br />and project names. Otherwise, it is very difficult to track across years, Crom <br /> table to narrative and to otber plans. <br /> Part C - It would help to have snbsets or indents under eacb project; e.g. A2 or <br /> A3 sbowin!! cost and component name. We would like the costs Cor individual <br /> <br />Document Reference: FY06 Master Draft AMP Budget - BOR GCMRC 02/17/05 II :05 AM <br />
