Adaptive Management Expectations Clause Samples
Adaptive Management Expectations. Regional San is obligated to deliver the Project Implementation Actions identified in this Contract and to implement this Adaptive Management Plan. Adaptive Management Actions must be reasonable and feasible and will not include providing an additional quantity of water beyond what is specified in this Contract. A description of the Project Implementation Actions is presented in Table 2. Table 2. Harvest Water Project Implementation Milestones and Action Phase Project Implementation Milestone or Action Performance Threshold and Adaptive Management Trigger Metrics Phase 1 (Program Years 1 through 9) Landowner contract execution for recycled water deliveries Percentage of landowner contract execution Phase 2 (Program Year 10 through the Term of the Contract) Annual Recycled Water Delivery 1. Irrigation season water April – October 2. Wintertime water November – March (Does not include water deliveries that discharge as surface water to the Delta or its tributaries.) Annual volume of delivered recycled water As part of the communication structure for implementation of this Adaptive Management Plan, the Parties will establish a Decision-Making Body formed by representatives of Regional San and the State Water Board to coordinate on adaptive management for the Public Water Quality Benefit. It is the responsibility of the Parties to each identify its own representative(s) for participation in the Decision-Making Body. Other partners, resources, and expertise may be involved as needed and at the discretion of the Decision-Making Body.
Adaptive Management Expectations. The Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District (Regional San) is obligated to deliver the Harvest Water Program (Program) Project Implementation Actions and Benefit Implementation Actions identified in this Contract and implement this Adaptive Management Plan. This Adaptive Management Plan acknowledges that while the Benefit Environmental Responses (i.e., targeted ecosystem improvement outcomes) identified are derived by physical changes resulting from Project Implementation Actions and Benefit Implementation Actions, they may also be influenced by additional factors that are beyond the Program’s control. However, the WSIP intends to achieve ecosystem improvement from physical changes in or resulting from Program operations, as such, failure to achieve a Benefit Environmental Response will trigger Adaptive Management Actions, if those actions will lead to achievement of the Benefit Environmental Responses. Adaptive Management Actions must be reasonable and feasible and will not include providing additional habitat acreage, implementing new land management activities not specified in Sections 4.1.4 and 4.1.5 of the Contract, or an additional quantity of water beyond what is specified in this Contract. However, Adaptive Management Actions may include providing water at a different time and location. Descriptions of Harvest Water Program Project Implementation Actions, Benefit Implementation Actions, and anticipated Benefit Environmental Responses are presented in Table 1.
Adaptive Management Expectations. The Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District (Regional San) is obligated to deliver the Harvest Water Program (Program) Project Implementation Actions and Benefit Implementation Actions identified in this Contract and implement this Adaptive Management Plan, in order to achieve anticipated Benefit Environmental Responses. This Adaptive Management Plan acknowledges that while the Benefit Environmental Responses (i.e., targeted ecosystem improvement outcomes) identified are derived by physical changes resulting from Project Implementation Actions and Benefit Implementation Actions, they may also be influenced by additional factors that are beyond the Program’s control. However, the WSIP intends to achieve ecosystem improvement from physical changes in or resulting from Program operations,2 as such, failure to achieve a Benefit Environmental Response will trigger adaptive management actions, including agreed upon modifications to Project Implementation Actions and/or Benefit Implementation Actions if changes to management of those actions may lead to achievement of the Benefit Environmental Responses. Modifications to Project Implementation Actions and Benefit Implementation Actions will not include providing additional habitat acreage, implementing new land management activities not specified in Sections 4.1.4 and 4.1.5 of the Contract, or an additional quantity of water beyond what is specified in this Contract. However, modifications to Project Implementation Actions and Benefit Implementation Actions may include providing water at a different time and location. Descriptions of Harvest Water Program Project Implementation Actions, Benefit Implementation Actions, and anticipated Benefit Environmental Responses are presented in Table 1. Table 1. Project Implementation Actions, Benefit Implementation Actions, and anticipated Benefit Environmental Response for the Harvest Water Program.
